Thriving Adults: Building Strong, Happy and Healthy Families
Building Strong, Happy and Healthy Families Through Exercise
Somewhere between caring for others, working, and keeping up with life, many adults realise they’ve quietly stepped out of their own exercise story.
Why exercise matters – for you and your family
Staying active as an adult isn’t just about fitness, it’s about maintaining independence, boosting energy, reducing stress, and having the capacity to keep up with the moments that matter. Whether it’s kicking the footy with the grandkids, enjoying a walk with friends, feeling steadier on your feet or simply having more energy each day, exercise creates opportunity.
And it’s not just a personal benefit. Research shows that when adults engage in positive exercise habits, they become powerful role models for younger generations. Active parents and grandparents help shape active families, building a culture of health, connection and shared experiences.
The power of exercise across the lifespan
Exercise at every age supports:
- Physical strength to stay capable and independent in daily life
- Cognitive health and mood, helping reduce stress, anxiety and low mood
- Balance and confidence, lowering the risk of falls and injury
- Connection and purpose, through group support, routine and community
- Healthy habits across generations, modelling that exercise is for everybody, at every age
