The pool is a great place to get active and involved in aquafit
classes or individual swimming. Aquatic exercise limits stress
on joints, provides resistance for muscle strength and carries
less risks of falling in the water. Come on in, the water’s great!

Arthritis or Stiff Joints?
Flexibility and strength are essential to keep your muscles and joints healthy so that you may stay mobile. The more sedentary your lifestyle, the stiffer your joints will become. Ask your doctor or health care provider what would be safe for you.
Some suggested activities include: home stretching routines, aqua fitness programs, speciality classes for people with arthritis, walking/wheeling, Yoga/Tai Chi, folk or line dancing.
Osteoporosis?
Bones lose minerals and strength as people age. Serious bone loss is a problem for about 25% of older adults. You can prevent some of this bone loss with strength activities. Ask your doctor or health care provider what would be safe for you. Physical activity is still beneficial if you have osteoporosis, but some activities may need to be adapted to provide that benefit without putting you at risk.
Some suggested activities include: resistance training that challenges your muscles and bones, aqua fitness programs, walking, folk or line dancing, specialized classes for people with osteoporosis.
Everyone can benefit from increased physical activity!
Increasing your level of physical activity can help offset many
of the negative effects of certain diseases and disabling
conditions. This is why it is especially beneficial for people
with physical limitations and chronic conditions to stay active.
The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) and ParticipACTION recommend the following physical activity for older adults (65+):
- 150 minutes/week of moderate intensity physical activity (such as biking, brisk walking, or water aerobics)
- Or, 90 minutes/week of vigorous intensity physical activity (such as fast dancing, fast swimming, or jogging)
- Physical activity should be mostly aerobic, but should also include muscle and bone strengthening, and flexibility and balance training activities

A celebration of creative aging, the
Creative Age Festival exists to recognize
the vital contributions of the arts to
lifelong learning, creative expression,
and health and well-being in later life.
The festival celebrates the contributions that senior artists have made in the arts field, and fosters increased arts-based participation in later life by recognizing and encouraging quality arts-based programming and engagement.
The 2010 Creative Age Festival included a free launch at City Hall showcasing some of our local, talented senior artists; arts cafés, workshops, a theatre fest, choral fest, symposium and film screenings; a sneak-peek performance of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra; free admission to the Art Gallery of Alberta; and a Closing Celebration at the Robbins Health Learning Centre at Grant MacEwan University.
We are looking forward to the Creative Age Festival in 2011. For more information please visit www.creativeagefestival.ca
