Building Muscle, Fit and Strong

I realized this morning I spend a lot of time doing mind games for working out. Just getting to the gym can be a mind game for me. If I make it easy to find my workout clothes, I have less internal resistance for going. I set an alarm about 45 minutes before I plan to be at the gym. One that says, start to get ready with your water bottle full and near the door. Fifteen minutes later, there's a buzzing to remind me that I'm going to leave in 15 minutes, so I should start getting my clothes on and finish up whatever I'm doing. Of course, I have a little alarm that says "Leave Now!" Setting my clothes out well ahead of...

How do we develop sustainable fitness? Last week I wrote about what sustainable fitness is. Basically, it’s doing things that you can continue to do long term. It’s focusing on ways to continue to be fit once a short term goal is met. Sustainable fitness is figuring out how to be able to continue to move through our daily lives and be able to accomplish what we want to accomplish. Chris and I have talked about wanting to be able to lift our own suitcases. That’s what sustainable fitness does for us. So here are ten ways to develop sustainable fitness. Accept that there will be ups and downs in your journey. We will deal with illness, either our own or someone in the family. We may experience...

Fit and Strong, Motivation

I read a book a few years ago by a woman who was over 50 and lost a lot of weight. It was both her personal story and some advice on how to lose weight and develop some fitness. I didn’t remember a lot of the details but when I went back to the book recently, I realized that she said she lost 60 pounds in four months. Who knows if she actually did or not, though that seems extreme but I know it took me a long time to lose 60 pounds. I had thought of her because I thought perhaps she’d be a good guest on the Fit Strong Women over 50 podcast. (You do listen to that, don’t you?!) We like to talk...

What I'm Thankful For This Year

Today in the US, it's Thanksgiving so I'm going to share what I'm thankful for this year. Those of you not in the US, I'm sure it gets tiresome listening to us go on about being thankful every late November because really, shouldn't we be thankful a little more frequently? Well, yes, we should. However, I don't think it hurts to actually stop and think about it. As we head into the end of the year and facing the beginning of a new year, it doesn't hurt to contemplate what we can be thankful for. I know that many of us have had some very rough times the past almost two years now. I'm certainly not ignoring that but I think I can come up with...

This week I have a lot of focus on family and food. It is Thanksgiving week and I'm texting lists of food with my sisters. We are trying to figure out who is bringing what part of the meal! We're planning to have a family get together and my Mom wants all the traditional fixings. Because we skipped Thanksgiving last year, I think this year has a whole lot more to be thankful for. I'm very thankful for the vaccine. Without it, I don't think we would be gathering again this year. Even so, it will be a smaller group than in years past. I went shopping several times this past week in preparation for Thanksgiving. Most recently, When I looked into my cart, I hardly...

I got a free 30 day subscription so I'm trying out the Peloton app. I don't have the Peloton bike or treadmill but my daughter-in-law suggested that I try out the exercise classes on the Peloton app or website.  The classes are led by instructors and include a wide variety. I've been trying out different ways of getting a workout so I liked the idea of trying the Peloton classes. Categories There are different categories for each class: Yoga Strength Stretching Meditation Cardio Cycling Outdoor (audio only obviously) Running Walking Tread Bootcamp Bike Bootcamp So far I have tried classes in the yoga, strength, and stretching categories.  Once you're in the different categories, the classes are then grouped by body parts such as core, quads, hamstrings, arms, etc. I...
