Share your health and fitness questions for Devi Sridhar, Mariella Frostrup, and Joel Snape

"There's no bad time to take a more active interest in your health, but the new year, for lots of us, feels like a fresh start. Maybe you're planning to sign up for a 10k or finally have a go at bouldering, eat a bit better or learn to swing a kettlebell. Maybe you want to keep up with your grandkids or just be a little bit more physically prepared for whatever life throws at you."

"To help things along, Guardian Live invites you to a special event with public health expert Devi Sridhar, journalist and author Mariella Frostrup, and health and fitness columnist Joel Snape. They'll be joining the Guardian's Today in Focus presenter Annie Kelly to discuss simple, actionable ways to stay fit and healthy as you move through the second half of life: whether that means staying strong and mobile or stressing less and sleeping better."

"To make the whole event as helpful as possible, we'd love to hear from you about what you find most challenging or confusing when it comes to health and exercise. What should you actually be eating, and how are you going to find the time to make it? What sort of exercise is best, and how often should you be doing it? Is Pilates worth the effort and should we really all be drinking mugfuls of piping hot creatine?"

Practical, manageable steps help maintain fitness and health in the second half of life. Focus on building strength, preserving mobility, reducing stress, and improving sleep quality. Prioritize balanced nutrition and realistic meal planning that fits busy schedules. Choose appropriate exercise types and frequency, including strength, aerobic, and mobility work, according to individual goals. Consider questions about Pilates and supplements such as creatine.
