Are you, like many others during the onset of their retirement, considering the world of possibilities ahead in finding new interests and engaging in the old hobbies you used to love? Victoria Towers is recognised nationally as the provider of first-rate premium quality retirement villages. We’ve put together a few ideas about how to maximise retirement and make the most of this time which is yours to enjoy.

Retirement presents the opportunity to make the best of having time on your hands, to have fun and reconnect with creative or relaxing activities you’ve enjoyed in the past or always wanted to try. Retirement is the best time to pull those interests off the back burner and revisit them with a renewed sense of enthusiasm and focus.

There are great classes available for retirees in most cities in the country- such as fitness groups, crafters groups, reading and writing workshops and even exploratory groups that can be great fun for those wanting to know more about the cities we live in.

Once you’ve gotten into the swing of life without working, the hard work is really done. 

It can, however, be daunting to head into a life that is supposed to encapsulate relaxation and time out when you’re so used to working and being there for someone else. Taking time out for you is incredibly rewarding, but you must first find a way to make that time out meaningful.

So, what do you want to achieve in retirement?

Many people look onto retirement as an opportunity to improve an aspect of their life, with health and physical fitness at the forefront of those wishes. Here are just a few of the popular groups retirees seek to join in on:

• Walking Groups- meeting at a dedicated time to explore parts of the city, or to enjoy nature in a bushwalk or a beach walk
• Swimming Clubs-provides a great social way to increase physical fitness, lung strength and muscle tone
• Yoga Classes- great for stretching muscles and maintaining strength
• Meditation Course- the secret of calm and relaxed people, well worth trying at least a couple of times.

Retirement comes with a few hidden challenges, and the greatest one is finding those aspects of your life that were once overshadowed by your work. By bringing them back into your life for enjoyments sake, your retirement can be the wonderful and happy time you’ve dreamed about.
