Your goal? Score 25 activities of 15+ minutes duration this June to grab an entry into a prize draw to win one of our £25 Decathlon vouchers. That's roughly an average of one activity each day, but the goal is 25 activities in total, so you can score them whenever you like.
Whether it’s a quick stretch, a walk around the block, or a full workout, every activity counts toward your total.

Beat the Heat: Try Swimming
If it's too hot to exercise outside, why not try heading indoors to stay active? Swimming offers a host of benefits that make it an ideal exercise for people of all ages and fitness levels.
Firstly, swimming provides a full-body workout, engaging both upper and lower body muscles, leading to increased strength and tone. Secondly, swimming is low-impact, reducing the risk of joint strain and injuries, making it ideal for those with arthritis or recovering from injuries.
Swimming is also an excellent cardiovascular exercise, promoting a healthy heart and improved lung capacity. It even promotes mental relaxation and stress relief, as the rhythmic movements and water environment have a calming effect.

Meet 103-year-old Mike Fremont
Here’s a goal for your 11th decade! Meet 103-year-old Mike Fremont.
He’s run 60 marathons and holds multiple age-related world records, including the fastest marathon time at age 80 and age 90, and the US record for the fastest mile by a 96-year-old.
He canoes two to three times a week, does pull-ups every night and goes on trips with his wife. His running pace is more of a walk for the average person, but he’s still covering miles and exercising 30 minutes a day.
At the recent Flying Pig event in Cincinnati, he ran a mile, and when asked why by reporters, he replied, "Because I can!"
Thanks for showing us the way Mike, living your healthiest decades after retirement when we’re told we should be winding down!
