“We are 78 and 79, respectively. Gymnastics for an old person is an often used slogan. For me and my wife, almost 80 years old, it is impossible to live without this activity and when we have holidays we miss it as if it was food. As age increases, the pains, the articular and spine deformities and later degenerative diseases like Parkinson start appear. We are impelled to move some more, whether doing gymnastics, water gymnastics, or just walking. Fortunately Portimão offers those activities! The sport and social policies must privilege the needed and the ones with less physical and psychological conditions as well as have in account the problems connected with the aging process. It is important to keep the courage and live happily and mental and physically healthy every day, letting physical activity stimulate our brain, muscles and bones. The good times leave memories that we wish to regain year after year! Thank you.”
