If you want your body to get stronger, recover well, and perform, you have to fuel properly.

Protein supports muscle repair and growth. Carbohydrates replenish glycogen and fuel higher intensity work.

You can’t ask your body to do more while consistently fueling with less.

Fuel what you want your body to do.

I am building fitness so that I can hike, race, travel, try new things, and say yes to every challenge.

At 57, strength is less about what I can do in a gym, and more about what it allows me to do outside of it. My goal is not just to maintain but to keep improving.

Let’s go.

A DEXA scan provides useful information for anyone looking to track changes in lean mass and bone density over time. This gives you objective information to guide your training.

If you want to continue to do the things you love, resistance training is non-negotiable.

At 57 I don’t train to be smaller. I never have. I train to live the life I love. Keep building.

For context: A T-score compares your bone mineral density with that of a healthy young adult. A score of -1 or higher is considered normal. Over the past year my T-score increased to +3.1 while I also added another 2.5 pounds of lean mass. Yes, you CAN continue building muscle at any age.

At 57 I am still working to get stronger, faster, and more powerful. I’m still setting goals that challenge me, and training to reach them.

How I train, fuel, and recover these days has changed. As a Health and Nutrition Coach and Personal Trainer, I’ve studied and incorporated female-specific research into how I train to build lifelong fitness. And it’s working.

If you haven’t started the time is now. Creatine is backed by tens of thousands of scientific reviews. Your brain, bones, and body will benefit.

Show up for yourself. Effort compounds and discipline grows when you continue to prioritize self care.

There is nothing better for skin, brain, bones, and muscles than lifting weights as women age. Not only does it help to firm and tighten skin, it builds bone and muscle, promotes power, reduces inflammation, and increases cognition, memory, and focus. Strength training slows cellular aging! Strength training for all the wins!

Unless your workout is new, or an extreme one off, research indicates you should NOT be sore after workouts. This is a reflection of your nutrition, not your workout. Tissue tolerance and resilience is built in the kitchen. For women, no less than 40-45 calories per kg of fat free mass daily is a good starting point. Bookending workouts with carbohydrate and protein is vital in women over 40.

You can only perform to the degree you are recovered. Do not underestimate the power of rest. Muscles grow when they are given time to rebuild. The busy holiday season is a good time to rest and reflect before goal setting for the new year.
