Bright and early Wednesday morning I get to trade in my
boot-cast for the past ten week for an ankle brace – part of my recovery
process after fracturing my right ankle in late March. I will also visit a local county recreation center
to sign up for a couple classes to assist in my recovery and overall health.

communities across the nation have come together to celebrate Older Americans
Month—a proud tradition that shows our nation’s commitment to recognizing the
contributions and achievements of older Americans.

The theme for Older Americans Month 2012, Never Too Old to Play...encourages older
Americans to stay engaged, active and involved in their own lives and in their
communities. In celebration of Older Americans Month, the U.S. Administration
on Aging is pleased to provide this website which offers useful resources and
tools to help you plan and promote events and activities honoring older
Americans.

I agree with your post. Physical fitness is extremely important for all age groups, but especially for seniors. People say that they don't have time to exercise, but it honestly just takes 30 minutes out of the day. Great reminder of the importance of exercise in society.
