Older people in regional Qld ride into retirement with fun and fitness

by Dr. Michael Lee – Health Editor August 2, 2025

written by Dr. Michael Lee – Health Editor

Older Australians are increasingly embracing physical activity through community-driven initiatives,highlighting the crucial role of social connection in maintaining healthy habits.

As awareness grows among older Australians about the importance of improving health and well-being, many are taking proactive steps to stay active. These efforts frequently enough involve developing personal initiatives, such as forming fitness groups or walking clubs, to encourage consistent participation in physical activity.

Dr. Alley emphasizes the significance of community support when motivation wanes. “When we’re trying to create a healthy habit we rely a lot on motivation and when our motivation drops it’s so important to have a community or a group of friends or a sporting group around us to help us keep on track,” she stated.

The benefits of physical activity extend beyond the physical realm. Dr. Alley further noted, “The benefits of physical activity are beyond just the physical. If we’re active with others,the social support increases our mood and mental health as well,so it ticks two boxes.”

From daily walks and surfing to masters rowing regattas, older Australians are increasingly recognizing the value of staying active. This trend is exemplified by groups like the Gold Coast Granny Grommets, who, through figures like Caroline Holliday, have inspired other older women to take up surfing.

The sentiment of staying active to prevent decline is captured by Mr. Irwin’s viewpoint: “I think it’s really important, you seize up, you just rust out.” He further elaborated, “You’re better off wearing out than rusting out.”

This story is part of a broader series examining how individuals in regional Queensland are successfully navigating and enhancing their later years outside of the capital city.

Paris 2024 | Bronze Simon van Dorp secretly disappointed about missing out on gold in single sculls – “That’s what I was going for”

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 4, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Van Dorp was still very disappointed after his race that he didn’t win gold. “I went for gold, but I had promised myself that I would go for it no matter what. If I blew myself up, I had to accept that. And that’s what happened.”

Van Dorp was unable to accelerate in the final phase for a gold medal. “It still needs to sink in. I’m definitely annoyed that I blew myself up, but at the same time I left the race the way I wanted to leave. In the end I just couldn’t shift up enough. My arms were full of acid and I just couldn’t shift up. Apparently the rest could, so maybe I’ll be lucky to get a medal.”

Delay

Van Dorp’s race was postponed by an hour on Saturday, due to an unusual problem. One of the rowers was stuck in traffic with his team bus, but the others apparently did not hear that very far in advance.

“I had just got my boat in the water, but my coaches knew it might be postponed,” says Van Dorp. “They already told me to take a little more time. We literally got the call when we were about to go into the water. Tim Brys and Stefanos Douskos were already on the water and the rest were just getting on the water. Then we could go back and start the routine again.”

Yauheni Zalaty

The Russian number two eventually arrived in time to start. “I think it’s great of Yauheni Zalaty (the silver medalist) to get through it. He got stuck on the highway with his bus on the way here. That’s why we were delayed by an hour. I think that was tough for everyone. You’re quite confused with your warm-up then, but I think we as a team handled it quite well. Only we weren’t the only ones.”

Still, Van Dorp didn’t mind the postponement very much. “I thought it was perfect. It was the same for everyone and everyone has to deal with that of course. In a way, it’s also an opportunity, because there’s always someone who might find it harder than someone else. You just have to make sure you stay calm and deal with it the best you can. We put on some music and we carried on.”

“The day after tomorrow I will probably fly to Dubai. I will lie there, drink a coconut, go shopping and feel great. And you will sit in the war further and hide in the basements and suck your paw. You can’t do a thing yourself (nothing. – Ed.) You can’t influence anything. You don’t decide anything. If I want to, I’ll buy myself another Lamborghini… So you’ll be fine with Russia come to your senses, you’ll be here cleaning up the shit with your snout,” the athlete says in the video.
