May is Older Americans Month and National Physical Fitness & Sports Month — and to celebrate, ODPHP is inviting you to use Move Your Way materials for older adults in your work.
Move Your Way is the promotional campaign for the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, and it provides a variety of resources to promote the Guidelines’ key messages. The older adult materials help adults ages 65 years and older learn about the benefits of staying active — and provide tips on finding activities that work for them.
Use these Move Your Way materials to help older adults understand the amount and types of physical activity they need to be healthy:
- Older Adults fact sheet
- Types of Activity fact sheet
- One Step at a Time poster
- Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Story: John and Patty
- Activity Planner
- Sample Social Media Messages and Graphics
- Tips for Busy Days video
Be sure to explore the Physical Activity Guidelines Midcourse Report: Implementation Strategies for Older Adults for actionable strategies to increase physical activity and support healthy aging. And if you’re a health care provider looking for tips on how to start the conversation with your older adult patients, check out this fact sheet!
