Thank you for visiting the website for Go4Life -- Everyday Fitness Ideas from the National Institute on Aging at NIH. The NIA leads a broad scientific effort to understand the nature of aging and to extend the healthy, active years of life.
Go4Life is an evidence-based health education and outreach campaign designed to help adults 50 and older fit exercise and physical activity into their daily lives. Research has shown that regular exercise and physical activity are important to the physical and mental health of almost everyone and can help older adults stay independent as they age. You will find helpful information in the Go4Life media center about the benefits of regular exercise; our free tools to help individuals get ready, start exercising, and keep going; and campaign resources for health care providers, community organizations, and employers in their efforts to promote physical activity to adults 50 and older. You will also find links to NIA press releases related to exercise and physical activity for older adults.
