Over 50's Sport
Now is a great time for the more mature ladies amongst us to get out there and enjoy a favourite sport or to find new ones. We're here to tell you, that the world doesn't come to an end when you hit 50. In fact - although its a cliche its absolutely truw - life begins at 50!
There are many resources for the sporty woman and this site aims to help you find the best ones. When we're looking for new sports to try, the first resource is the Internet. The Internet is full of clubs for hiking, running, cycling, yoga, pilates and horse riding.
We women have more available to us today than ever before!
We have woman-only gyms, and a whole world of women's health and sport magazines. We also have 40 plus organizations with loads of ideas and support. So don't allow anyone tell you that turning 50 is the end and you can't complete anymore. Or that you just need to get out to exercise - "but be careful you might break something". What is that all about? Get out and prove them wrong. Sign up to a local gym, get out there and show them that this tough old bird still has a lot going on!
Sports that you normally wouldn't think of finding women. Sports such as orienteering, archery, and fencing are great for woman who like to challenge themselves. Yes, I said fencing! Most of these sports have women competitions and encourage women to join their programs. There is more to sports than running, hiking and golf. Don't settle for less than what you want.
Here are a few Internet links for woman interested in trying new or different sports.
