Active Aging Week September 23-29, 2012

In the last week of September, older adults find plenty of interesting things to do and learn during Active Aging Week, ICAA’s annual health promotion event.

In seniors centers and retirement communities, parks and health clubs, nature preserves and dance halls, Active Aging Week hosts provide many opportunities to choose an active life:

  • Healthy lifestyle presentations for diabetes, arthritis, depression and other conditions
  • Nutrition and lifestyles presentations
  • Brain fitness and healthy mental outlooks
  • Health and fitness assessments
  • Concerts, singalongs, dancing
  • Group exercise, strength training,Tai chi and yoga
  • Games and challenges
  • Strolls and walks
  • Health fairs, referrals, government programs
  • Free food, prizes, coupons, pedometers and t-shirts

Active Aging Week events are planned locally, allowing organizers at each host site to decide what they wish to do. ICAA’s guidelines are simple. Active Aging Week events are:

  • delivered in a fun, no-pressure atmosphere
  • educational
  • free to participants, so cost is not a barrier
