We're a group of women over the age of 50 who are focused on healthy living and getting fit. We discuss fitness, nutrition, and ways to age gracefully. Our mission is the same as our podcast: to become (and stay) Fit Strong Women Over 50.
Lifting weights and doing resistance training is so important after the age of 50 to keep muscle and protect bone!
Making healthy habits part of a normal day keeps the focus on living better.
Lean protein, complex carbs and healthy fats. Sounds simple, but we're here to help!
Getting enough sleep. Practicing mental skills to stay the course. Keeping the right attitude.
Listen to Fit Strong Women Over 50 podcast for inspiration and motivation about healthy eating, staying fit and becoming more like the Norse Goddess Elli, the one who beat Thor in a wrestling match.
We look for topics of interest to our listeners. Book reviews. Talks about our fitness challenges. Interesting guests. We especially have a soft spot for runners over 50 because we became runners late in life and have trained for several half marathons.

Fit Strong Women Over 50, a Becoming Elli podcast, is hosted by Jill McCauslin and Chris Brown.
We lost weight in our 50's and wanted to stay fit ans strong. We got together during races - 5k's, team events and even a few half marathons. Add in bike riding! Now we weight train, do cardio and take long walks with our dogs. Even line dancing. Exercise can be fun.
Becoming Elli focuses on getting fit and strong, eating right and learning new ways to stay motivated to be healthy and vibrant.
Making a plan. Baby steps. Prep a few healthy snacks for the week. Roast a vegetable to have it ready, Pack some healthy lunches for those days on the go.
Look for ways to work with what you've got. Keeping a food journal works for some people. Making an exercise plan and getting together with friends.
Try recipes that focus on health and nutrition... and taste great too!
Working out isn't work when you have a good time with friends. It becomes fun!
