In his talk, The Need for Quality Exercise During Aging: How to Plan For Your Productive Retirement, Professor of exercise science, Robert Robergs from CSU's School of Human Movement Studies will outline why being inactive, regardless of age, is a recipe for disaster.
Professor Robergs has developed the Active Lifestyle Education Program (ALEP) which operates at CSU in Bathurst each Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8-9am.
The ALEP helps people to become more physically active, and improves participants' understanding of the importance of being physically fit.
Professor Robergs said one of the best ways to live a long, healthy life is to improve your physical fitness.
"The goal of the talk is to have people walk away better equipped with the knowledge to understand the need to exercise, know what to do, and to start this process now," Professor Robergs said.
The event is part of CSU's Explorations Series of lectures and will be held from 6-7pm, with refreshments to follow, in room 223 of building 1292, near car park 7 at CSU in Bathurst.
