Seniors Speak Out

What do you do to stay active?

Probably not as much as I should be doing. I've got diabetes and have gained weight over the years. I make New Year's resolutions every year to get to the gym and generally see the early effort peter out by around February. Maybe I should make a mid-year's resolution, too.

My wife and I walk our dogs every day for 30 minutes. I don't know how far we go distance-wise, but we make it to a cliff that overlooks the Pacific Ocean and get to watch the sunset. It's beautiful.

- Jay P., 64
Long Beach, Calif.

I'm in a golf group with a bunch of my girlfriends. We get together three times a week and play 18 holes. I'm not very good - yet - but I love to get out there and hit the ball and talk with my friends.

- Josey C., 61
Greenville, South Carolina

I love to swim. When I was younger I swam competitively and have never stopped. I get in the pool just about everyday I'm not traveling and swim laps for 30 minutes. I tried jogging, but it was too hard on the joints. Swimming is better than medicine.
