It\u2019s never too late to try a new hobby or pick one back up. Here are 4 low-impact sports that\u2019ll keep you fit at every age.<\/p>\n

As a low-impact, aerobic exercise, cycling can improve your cardiovascular health and provide\u00a0a full-body workout without stressing your joints. It\u2019s a fantastic activity for seniors because you can tailor the intensity and the amount of time you bike based on your current fitness level.<\/p>\n

Plus, whether it’s a form of transportation or a weekly workout, cycling helps you build your muscle strength, burn calories and improve your stamina.<\/p>\n

Ride alone for some cherished me-time or in a group if you\u2019re looking to meet new people and make more friends.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Archery tests both your physical and mental fitness. Repeatedly drawing a bow and walking to retrieve your arrows provide cardio and strength-training workouts. Compound bows can be adjusted as you build muscle, adapting to virtually anyone.<\/p>\n

A high-concentration sport, archery also helps you improve your focus, hand-eye coordination, posture and memory as you practice your form and aim.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a social sport. As you train and potentially compete, you have the opportunity to meet new people, find mentorship and work together to improve your skills.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Golf is primarily a game of skill. It requires technique, timing, flexibility and balance to generate a powerful, fluid swing. This makes the game ideal for seniors who want to remain active, but may prefer lower-intensity exercise.<\/p>\n

Play with friends so you can take turns driving the cart or walking. You\u2019ll get in some cardiovascular exercise without overdoing it\u2014all while enjoying the fresh air and blue skies.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

4. Pickleball<\/h2>\n\"Women\n

A mix of tennis, badminton and ping pong, pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America among seniors, and for a good reason. This low-impact racquet sport has quickly become the game of choice for older adults because it is 1) fast-paced, 2) easy to learn, 3) requires less mobility than tennis and 4) creates a fun social get-together with doubles play.<\/p>\n

With pickleball\u2019s soaring popularity, many parks and recreation departments have added the game to their sports programming. Look up the nearest pickleball league in your community to get started!<\/p>\n
