#193 - Look Back & Leap Forward with Chris and Jill Download | Play in New Window As 2025 comes to a close, Chris and Jill slow things down for a thoughtful end-of-year conversation. Instead of a highlight reel or checklist of accomplishments, this episode focuses on reflection, intention, and what it really means to age strong — physically, mentally, and emotionally. They also share an important announcement: for the first time in eight years, the podcast will be taking a January hiatus, returning refreshed in February 2026. We discuss: Reflection Over Perfection Why Chris and Jill chose reflection instead of a traditional year-end recap Aging with intention rather than chasing perfection Why rest and reflection are essential parts of strength — especially after 50 What actually mattered to you this year — not...

189 - Mediterranean Diet with Chris and JillDownload | Play in New Window In this episode of Fit Strong Women Over 50, we’re diving back into one of our favorite topics — food! Many of us reach a point where we want to eat healthier, feel better, and still enjoy the foods we love. This past summer my doctor has recommended that I follow the Mediterranean diet, which inspired this episode all about three of the most researched and effective eating styles for women over 50: the Mediterranean, DASH, and MIND diets. We talk about what makes each plan unique, how they overlap, and why they’re all considered top choices for long-term health and wellness. What We Discuss How the Mediterranean diet became the “gold standard” for overall health The...

Fit and Strong

When Chris and I started Becoming Elli, we were searching for answers—and connection. Like many women over 50, I wanted to get stronger, healthier, and feel confident in my body again. But most fitness spaces didn't seem to understand what that journey looks like for us. So we decided to create one. You can read more about our story and why we started this community here. What began as a simple idea has blossomed into a vibrant, supportive community. Every day, I'm inspired by the stories you share: women running their first races, lifting heavier weights than they ever imagined possible, and rediscovering joy in movement. Why We Cheer Each Other On You know what I love most about this community? Watching how we lift each other up....

Fit and Strong, Product Review

Road Trip Fuel: A Review of the Blueberry RX Bar I recently took a long weekend road trip from Ohio to Rhode Island—about 600 miles each way. On drives like this, I know how easy it is to fall into the trap of grabbing fast food or relying on vending machines at rest stops. Most options along the highway are high in sugar, salt, and fat, and they rarely leave me feeling energized. To avoid that, I packed a small carton of Blueberry RX Bars. I wanted something convenient that would take the edge off my hunger without derailing my healthier eating habits. Why I Chose the RX Bar When I travel, refrigeration isn’t always practical. Protein bars are one of the easiest solutions, but not all of them...

Fit and Strong, Work Outs

Okay, is it just me or did September literally disappear? Like, I swear it was Labor Day weekend yesterday and now I'm digging through closets for actual pants. Wild. I can always tell when it’s fall because my jeans come out and my old running shoes replace sandals as my go to shoes. But honestly? I'm kind of here for it. There's something about fall that makes me want to totally shake up my workout routine. Those sweaty summer gym sessions were great and all, but now that it's getting chilly, my body is craving something completely different. I've been really into strength training lately – there's something so good about lifting heavy things when it's cold outside. Like, my body naturally wants to build that internal...
