As we age, we usually give some thought to our lifespan, but what about our healthspan? While ‘lifespan’ refers to how long we’ll live, ‘healthspan’ refers to how long we live in good health, without serious illness or disease.
At Rivervue, they wholeheartedly believe that accessibility to health and fitness facilities, as well as opportunities for social connections, helps our residents to augment their healthspan by staying active.
Rivervue residents benefit from having a range of resort-style fitness facilities on their doorstep, which makes living an active life that much easier. From a heated indoor pool, the fully-equipped gymnasium, to one of the many group fitness activities like Pilates, Zumba and yoga, there are so many ways residents can embrace the active opportunities on offer within the vibrant village. Plus, surrounded by sprawling gardens and walking trails, it’s so easy for our residents to keep moving at their own pace.
One resident Fatima, loves that moving to Rivervue has opened up so many opportunities to stay both physically and socially healthy. Fatima’s active social life involves enjoying happy hour, playing indoor bowls and table tennis, and getting involved in aqua aerobics. Her advice for ageing well: “Stay active; keep stretching and exercising. And try not to sit at home alone; get yourself out and meet people just for a chat.”
The social aspects of your wellbeing are every bit as important as physical health. In fact, having healthy social interactions can be hugely beneficial to your physical and psychological health.
Whether residents partake in group activities, take a walk, enjoy a coffee and a chat or go on social outings with fellow Rivervue neighbours, the benefits of these actions are far reaching for all aspects of their health.
To discover the many ways you can enhance your healthspan by moving to Rivervue, visit their village for yourself. Call 1300 298 439 to book a tour.
