With life expectancy at an all time high, Boomers are determined to live later life to the full – and that means looking after themselves. But keeping fit can be a chore, regardless of age. In turn, this generation are beginning to embrace a new range of personal training services.

Wellness may be a word tied up with Millennial fitness fads or gluten-free diets, but it’s actually Boomers leading the way on the health front. With a higher awareness of personal stats (like cholesterol or BMI) and the danger of nasty habits like smoking, Boomers are healthier than ever.

A third of the 10,000 Boomers turning 65 each day are entering retirement single. The thought of being shipped off to live in a retirement home is unthinkable for many – but The Golden Girls Network offers house sharing for older single women who are still young at heart.

Five-a-sides are fun, but if you’re past your prime, the chance of going home with a painful injury can make a casual kickabout no longer worth the risk. ‘Walking football’ offers the best of both worlds – a game with your mates and a low-impact form of exercise. No running allowed.
