Third Age: Keep young at heart by exercising daily

IT’S never too late to start exercising. Start slowly, even if it is just a five-minute walk, and you will be surprised how quickly your fitness improves. That’s the advice of Mairead McLaughlin, a mentor for the Go For Life FitLine, which is aimed at the over-50s.
Mairead, 61, is a mother of seven and grandmother of 13, from Kilcross, Sandyford, Co Dublin, and has been encouraging and motivating older people to get active for the last two years.
