It is good to know that the message is getting through and as active sports players already it is not news to you. However, it is always  good to reassess what you’re doing and look at whether you can improve your fitness with a few strengthening exercises, remembering that as we age we lose muscle mass if we don’t do some strengthening exercises. Stronger muscles will protect your joints from arthritic changes and so you will be able move faster, play for longer and stay healthier…all of which will keep you feeling good!
