Abstract
COVID-19 has altered our experiences over the last few years; it has put our lives and
daily choices in a new light. This paper reflects on these challenges regarding healthy
ageing and what we can do to contribute to our ageing process as well as the health of
the planet. Physical activity and exercise have been proven to make people happy and
healthy. Those same things also make the planet healthy. The basic assumption of this
presentation is that the well-being of the individual and that of the earth can be improved
through a sustainable, active lifestyle. While social science and medical research have
addressed the importance of human movement in recent years, the social and environmental
factors that help promote physical activity and healthy ageing remain insufficiently
addressed. Some factors that lead to engaging in physical activity and sustainably
continuing will be addressed. Finally, the interaction of some of the influences of personal
circumstances and community, as well as the impacts of environmental support and constraints,
will be highlighted, - especially as they relate to the ongoing COVID-19 global
pandemic.
