Hello Ladies
I come across your podcast recently and can relate totally to you both.
Listening to your early episodes and enjoying it all. I used to love doing all sorts of exercise and over the last couple of years have only rode my road bike but have been thinking about doing weights and having more variety. You have both inspired me.
Thankyou from Australia

Sometimes I listen to podcasts while working out at the gym and I think a facebook group would be another great forum as well.
I love the idea behind your blog and podcasts …women over 50 still rock!!
Thanks Teresa!Looking forward to connecting with you online.
I have a hard time keeping up with podcasts, but a Facebook group could work for me.
We’re figuring out the best way to do this but I think a group will be fun. Thanks for your input.
I download podcasts that I want to listen to and then play them while I’m driving. It can be hard to stay on top of them, though, so I know what you mean.
You’ll find many strong women over 50 in this group. I love the idea of what the name represents. Thanks for sharing the podcast link and information. And…for linking here!
Awesome Wendy. We’d love to have you. We’re just getting started!
I love how you have decided to embrace our age group and build a community! Please include me in the FB group or let me know how I can join.
