Expats: Grow old disgracefully! | Ian Turner on Good Morning Portugal!

It's good to look after ourselves as we age, especially if we are looking forward to a long and happy retirement (or semi-retirement). It's also good if we can do that without having to go without all the things we love about being in Portugal.Ian Turner's approach says: "the important thing is it should be accessible for all," and adds... - Growing old can be great but you need to stay healthy for as long as possible- You can help achieve that by doing the right sorts of exercise- Caveats - check with your doctor - start slowly- 3 forms of exercise - slow, fast and heavy- Walking is fantastic, but any slow activity can be positive - raise your breathing and heart rate- High Intensity Impact Training can probably provide the biggest improvement to your health, but introduce it very slowly- Strength training can be done anywhere and will maintain your ability to live a great life for far longer- Doing any exercise will be positive. If you find something you really enjoy do that, but do try to mix it in those three waysThen enjoy the food and wine!Join us for a fun chat with comments, questions and suggestions...---Carl 'Your man in Portugal' Munson is available for one-to-one consultations as part of Expats Portugal's Ask Our Expats team - https://expatsportugal.com/ask-our-expats-portugal/ABOUT EXPATS PORTUGALWe are an online community-driven website and forum offering help and advice to the English speakers already living in Portugal or planning to move here.
