Encouraging your husband to stay active after 50 is important for his overall health and well-being. Start by making it fun—choose activities that both of you enjoy. Try walking, hiking, cycling, or swimming together. If you both enjoy fitness classes or sports, like tennis or golf, make them a regular part of your routine. Focus on low-impact exercises like yoga or pilates that improve flexibility and balance, which are especially important as we age. Make small changes, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator or parking farther away from stores to get extra steps in. Set shared fitness goals, such as signing up for a 5k or completing a fitness challenge. Encouraging him without pushing too hard can make staying active a positive experience.
