Sports can be enjoyed both actively and passively (vicariously).  Playing your favorite sports such as tennis, basketball, or golf provides the right amount of physical exercise to balance the mental demands of school or work.  The importance of exercise cannot be overstated enough. If there is a will, there is a way. For example, it has been noted that the Nintendo Wii, which was intended as a family game console but primarily for children, has also become a popular means of both exercise and even socialization (eg, tournaments on some of the games such as bowling) in nursing homes. 

Entertainment is another staple part of growing old gracefully.  For home entertainment,  there is always the old reliable television (TV)  which has advanced in many ways, including cable or satellite broadcasts, digitalization, and high-definition resolution (HDTV) (eg, LCDs or plasma TVs).  Then, there are music concerts or the opera or Broadway, and of course, even in the times of Tivo and DVR (digital video recorder), a weekend afternoon at the movies, especially if spent with loved one, is always special!
