Artical From Baby Boomers Magazine - March 5th, 2008

While early Baby Boomers are entering retirement age, we intend on doing so having active fun. There is no shortage of fun activities for the Baby Boomer Generation. Fortunately for Baby Boomers times have changed since our parents retired. Nowadays there's definitely no shortage of fun activities for the Baby Boomer Generation. In fact, many of today's Baby Boomers believe that the best way to keep from growing old is to remain active. And they're right. While many of us are intending on working well past traditional retirement ages, we intend on fun doing so..
Today's Baby Boomers enjoy most anything that's done outside the home in a group setting. Biking, swimming, tennis, golf, dancing, bowling, playing cards, eating out, exercising, shopping, traveling, indulging in the arts, and even dating are just a few of the many fun activities for Baby Boomers to choose from. Basically, when it comes to keeping active and entertained, nothing is off limits for today's Baby boomers!
As Baby Boomers grow older, many are choosing to move into communities that have been designed to serve our aging market. Whether they're called "over 55 communities" or "adult communities" or "manufactured home parks" and even "ALFs" the one thing all these communities have in common are lists of scheduled activities. These lists help keep members of the community informed of upcoming fun activities for Baby Boomers can participate.
Going online is another excellent way to find out about fun activities for Baby Boomers. No longer something to be afraid of using and learning, Baby Boomers are finding the Internet just as convenient a source of information and research as the rest of society. To help meet the growing demand of Boomer online users, local libraries and other community centers are marketing introductory classes on computer usage and safety to Baby Boomers. Classes are worthwhile and they're filled to capacity which further proves that fun activities for Baby Boomers know no boundaries.
Special Baby Boomer interest websites (such as BabyBoomer-Magazine.com) and Social networking sites are another valuable source of fun activities. What began as a way for the younger generation to make friends has caught the attention of the Baby Boomers. And why not? Social networking sites are a great way to meet others from across town or across the globe who share similar interests. Besides meeting others, visitors to these sites find plenty of scheduled activities with open invitations meaning that if you're interested in the activity, then you're invited.
Fun activities for the Baby Boomer Generation are out there and there's no limit to what we'll find once you start looking. Staying active and social are both not only enjoyable, they're great for our physical and mental well-being. With so many fun activities for Baby Boomers taking place every day, there's no longer any excuse for being bored!
