Hi!

Lately I’ve been devoting my focus to senior health — especially since only 28-34% of Americans aged 65-74 are physically active (http://www.fitness.gov/resource-center/facts-and-statistics/).

I’ve had the opportunity to speak with some of the elders in my community, and they said although they do want more physical activity, they feel limited in their options. Fortunately, inspiring others to get on their feet is my specialty! I’ve gathered some terrific resources on ways for seniors to lead happier, more active lives, but I need your help distributing them. What do you say — how about here: https://datamed.org/?
