Pensioners from the Capital City Center for Active Longevity continue to lead an active lifestyle even during the winter season, embracing the principles of healthy living. Currently, around 40 senior citizens regularly participate in skiing and winter swimming activities organized in the Central Park.
Among the physically active pensioners are respected elders such as 78-year-old Toktamys Abiyev and Turganbek Akhmetzhanov. They have made sport an integral part of their lives and serve as an inspiring example for their peers.
Pensioners from the Saryarka district gather for skiing sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while residents of the Baikonur and Nura districts take part in these activities on weekends. The sessions are conducted by qualified sports instructors from the Center, with the support of volunteers.
Over the past three years, special attention has been given to the development of winter sports, creating opportunities for seniors to spend time outdoors and improve their health. This initiative helps enhance the quality of life of older citizens and promotes the concept of active aging.
