Why paddle boarding is the perfect sport for seniors
SUP: good for seniors or not?
We all know that being active plays an important role in living a healthier lifestyle and increasing our chances of staying younger longer. But the truth is that when we get older, our energy level is decreasing and it is getting more challenging to keep up with fitness or any form of exercise. Although we can’t run as fast as we use to or lift the weights we use to lift anymore, it doesn’t mean that we have to stop exercising. Actually, the opposite is true. We have to put more effort into moving physically on a daily basis.
