As we have gotten to know our New-to-Medicare community of those turning or recently turned 65, we know how much residents of Jacksonville want to stay active. Just because you are getting older does not mean that your days of exercise and outdoor hobbies are done. With living your best life in mind, here are thirteen of the best ways to stay active on Florida’s First Coast.
Pickleball is sweeping the country by storm, as it’s a great way for people of all ages to get exercise and meet new people. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or someone looking to get started playing for the first time, Jax Pickleball
The weather is one of the best things about living in Jacksonville. And that weather is not just great for humans, but it’s also great for our region's biodiversity. We have more opportunities for birders than many places in the country. Birdwatching is also one of the most cost-effective hobbies you can enjoy. The Visit Jacksonville website
Especially for those who are recently retired, playing golf is a classic way to spend some of your newfound free time. If you are new to the game, it might be worth visiting a driving range or a public course to try it out before committing to a full membership. There are many fine courses in the Greater Jacksonville area, but our pick would be Eagle Harbor Golf Club
You can take advantage of all the beachfront space the First Coast has to offer. If you take a visit to East Coast Sport Rentals
Age has never stopped you before, so why let getting older get in the way of spending time at the gym? In fact, Jacksonville has many Silver Sneakers programs that specialize in getting seniors together and getting them active. We’re going to highlight First Coast YMCA Fair Square
Age-related injury or illness should not get in the way of you feeling strong and enjoying the best parts of living here. If you have a physical ailment preventing you from getting back out there, or if you’re interested in strength and balance training in a more tailored and specific manner, then physical therapy could be the right choice for you. Jacksonville has many good options for physical therapy clinics, but today we are highlighting Physical Therapy Services
Yoga is one of the best ways to maintain your balance, flexibility, and overall peace of mind. Your age doesn’t have to hinder your opportunity to try something new. Our friends at Soluna Yoga
The practice of Tai Chi can bring a feeling of serenity while strengthing your core and balance. Tai Chi Health and Wellness
Another way to enjoy low-impact exercise is for those who want to get out on the water to go kayaking. The Jacksonville Kayak Company
If you're looking for a new way to explore parts of the city, Jacksonville Urban Trails via the Jax Beach
For many, tennis is considered the sport of a lifetime. Florida has some of the country’s best places to play, and Jacksonville is no exception. If you are fortunate enough to play at Deerwood Tennis Club
If you are interested in swimming but less inclined to do so in the ocean, the David Posnack Jewish Community Center
Getting active can mean exercise; it could also mean being an active member of your community. For a list of great events for seniors, the North Florida Area Health Education Center (AHEC)
Jacksonville is a great place to enter your golden years. And for those years to continue to be the best of your life, it’s critical to stay healthy and stay busy. Luckily, residents of Jacksonville can take advantage of the fantastic options available to them and stay active for many years to come.
