Active Lives – Coached Course

Centre for Ageing Better, Age Positive Image Library, RS7705, Peter Kindersley

“I have been more spontaneous in the last 8 weeks than I have been in years – I even went abroad to Tenerife with my daughter – I would have said no I am too old to go – you go and enjoy yourself with your friends – but I said yes and I had a lovely time!”

10-part online learning course guided by your wellbeing coach

This is a fun and inspiring course where you can explore themes that will help you to stay active, maintain your fitness, relax, eat well, sleep well, think well, socialise more, improve motivation, challenge yourself, try new things, create goals and  live with purpose – in a way that fits with your lifestyle and ambitions.

There are 10 short modules that you can access online in your own time (10-20 minutes per module) that will provide you with knowledge and up-to-date research on how to stay fit and active, motivated, mentally active and connected to your community.  Each module includes a simple action to help you to adopt the principles in your own life. You will learn alongside a small group of people like yourself and will be guided in each step by a wellbeing coach. As part of the course, we will provide you with opportunities to join local events for Active Lives participants.

To access the programme, you will need a computer, tablet device, or phone that can stream video via the internet. If you do not have this or do not feel confident using it, provide the email address of a friend or family member in the next step so they can support you in accessing the programme.
