Go for Life

Go for Life is an Age & Opportunity initiative funded by the Irish Sports Council. Its aim is to involve more older adults in all aspects of sport and physical activity more often.
Third Age has long been involved in promoting Go for Life among our members. The programme consists of six week’s exercise and activities designed to meet the specific needs and abilities of each group. It incorporates an initial fitness assessment, followed by a second assessment at programme’s end. Seeing the improvements which have taken place in flexibility, pulmonary function, lung capacity and endurance is very encouraging.
