Health and fitness in retirement
With people living longer and longer, our retirements are also lengthening. For example, in 1970, the average length of postwork retirement for women was 16.7 years and for men it was 13.5 years. In 2005, those numbers expanded to 23.1 years for women and 19.0 for men.1
To give yourself the best opportunity to enjoy life deep into retirement, you need to take care of your body now and institute a routine of healthy habits and fitness.
