Make fitness a part of those Golden Years

Being fit is important, no matter what your age. So if you're thinking that once you get your AARP card you're off the hook, think again. It's just as important to stay in shape when you're in your golden years.

That's why there are a whole slew of fitness centre designed for the 50+ crowd popping up. Nifty After Fifty in Salt Lake City is one such fitness centre -- where loud, hip music and 20-somethings in spandex are a thing of the past, replaced with an easy-going atmosphere and lots of classes designed with aching joints in mind, like water aerobics and Tai Chi. There's also a driving simulator for seniors who want to practice their skills safely.

I think this kind of fitness centre is a great idea ... do you agree?
