Intermittent Fasting for Women Over 60

Intermittent Fasting for Women Over 60

Intermittent fasting is one of the most popular trends right now in eating. People are using IF for both weight loss and health benefits. Intermittent fasting is really an umbrella term for a variety of ways of fasting. Most often, people are really referring to Time Restricted Eating. This is where you avoid eating during a period of time. It can be as short as not eating after dinner and then having breakfast first thing in the morning. It can be longer than that, where you fast all day and then consume all your calories in a single hour. Most people who I hear talking about time restricted eating probably have a 16 to 18 hour window of non-eating, with a 6 to 4 hour window...

Positive Mental Attitude

When I was at the gym this morning I talked to a friend who I always love to see. We only talked maybe 5 minutes. She's someone that Jill and I hope to have as a guest on the podcast. One thing that she said to me that I've been thinking about on the drive all the way home. "It's your attitude...

She toed the blue line of the Akron Marathon on a crisp September morning without training, and though she...

Running and Grief

Running and Grief

Is there a connection between running and grief? I think perhaps there is. Not for everyone, of course, but for some of us dealing with grief, running provides some mental health benefits. There’s a lot of discussion about how running helps with our mental health. If you want to read a great memoir about this, check out Depression Hates a Moving Target by Nita Sweeney. Chris and I talked with Nita about running and mental health on our podcast. You might check that episode out too. I don’t know if there’s much specific talk about running and grief, which is different than depression. Grief causes a lot of different emotions; sadness, anger, guilt, loneliness are a few. I think what makes running helpful is that it provides...

Ways to Get Started with Strength Training

Ways to Get Started with Strength Training

One thing I’ve noticed in the Becoming Elli community is that many of us are looking for ways to get started with strength training. Many women who have joined the Becoming Elli Facebook group (it’s a private group and if you haven’t joined, please do so!) want to get started with strength training. Most of us know how to do cardio exercises. We use the treadmill or the elliptical or we bicycle indoors and out. If you listen to the Fit Strong Women over 50 Podcast, you know that we talk a lot about the importance of strength training for women as we age. Why Strength Train? We lose muscle more quickly than men and that loss begins earlier than we’d like to think about. Losing muscle makes it...
