Here's what I wish someone had told me years ago: fitness isn't about perfection. It's about showing up, even when you don't want to. Getting fit and strong  isn’t a one stop deal. It’s a long term prospect. You know how they’re always saying, “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon.” Well, that’s true. In fact, it might actually be an ultra. I'll be honest – I've fallen for the all-or-nothing trap more times than I care to admit. You know the one. Where you're either crushing every workout and meal prepping like a boss, or you're sprawled on the couch wondering where your motivation went. Sound familiar? But here's what I've learned through my own messy journey: becoming fit and strong isn't about those dramatic before-and-after photos....

A Broadway dancer turned Tao minister, Tammy describes how you can tap into your true strength. In today's Fit Strong Women Over 50 podcast, we discuss: Your core supports all the bones and muscles in the top of body and bottom of body. Your brain recalls the details of your story, but it doesn’t have the emotional memory. That’s found in your body. Soft tissue holds the emotional memory. Tension and strength have the very same root. While tension is energy that’s stagnant, strength is energy that’s in flow. Strength is connecting to the goal. Tension stands between you and the goal.

Developing Core Strength

Winter is strength building time and to me, that means working on core strength. This is particularly important to women over 50 who want to improve balance, reduce injuries and build a base. I became more familiar with this concept a few years ago when I had an angry piriformis muscle. Until that happened I had never heard of that little muscle that runs overtop of the sciatic nerve in the glutes. The piriformis muscle helps to make your foot rotate out to the side.
