Alison explains that as you age, common home chores such as reaching, lifting or gardening can become difficult if you no longer have the physical strength or flexibility. This weakness and stiffness can lead to injuries, incapacity and a loss of independence. But the good news is that to avoid this situation, all you need to do is add some structured activity into your daily life in the form of specific exercises as well as prolonged, sustained movement such as walking or swimming. Essentially, what keeps you active is ‘activity’ itself!

By committing a small amount of time everyday to some form of structured exercise, you’re investing in a ‘superannuation fund’ of health and wellbeing for a happier, healthier, independent future. You’ll feel better in every way!

Comprised of the 'Kit', Home DVD Series and Health Coaching Program, Actively Ageing has been specifically designed to empower you with the skills, techniques and knowledge needed for you to significantly hinder the effects of ageing and continue to live your life to the full!  

The Kit

Forming the foundation of the Actively Ageing Program is Alison Ford’s comprehensive “Kit”, designed to enable the over 50s to actively age from the comfort of their own home.

The “Kit” consists of an easy-to-understand informative handbook on how to stay safe and healthy as you age; a companion workbook featuring simple step-by-step exercises offering a complete workout, plus a DVD of two home-based workouts for both the fit and ‘not-so-fit’. There is also a working calendar and diet chart for your own record keeping. 

 Home DVD Series

The Actively Ageing Home DVD series further builds on these principles and explores specific ways by which over 50s can incorporate more activity into their everyday lives – be it while watching TV or pottering about in the shed!

Titles in this ‘easy-to-follow’, fun Exercise DVD series include: "TV and Kettle Exercises”, “Secret Men’s Shed Exercises” and “Good Vibrations”. If you can start the DVD player, you’re already half way there as Alison demonstrates and

fully explains the reasons and benefits of each exercise in real terms, for real people.
