If you're someone who's always looking to take your fitness to the next level, or if you're looking for a new fitness goal, why not consider the senior games?

Originating in St. Louis, MO, back in 1985, the senior games strives to promote a healthy lifestyle for adults through education, sport, and fitness. The games include a 19-sport, biennial competition for both men and women that are over the age of 50.
