#AgingPowerfully

“It’s normal after kids.” “It’s just part of getting older.” “Just wear a pad.” But what if your pelvic floor isn’t “weak”… It’s overwhelmed? When your ribs are flared, your breath lives in your chest, and your core isn’t sharing the load — all that pressure gets dumped downwards. And your pelvic floor cops it. This exercise isn’t about doing more. It’s about restoring how your foot, hip, core and breath work together so pressure is managed properly. Two minutes each side. Daily. Consistency > intensity. And suddenly… your body feels supported again. If you’re tired of being told leaks are just part of aging, come and learn the missing skills inside Aging Powerfully, my 6 week program!

70 years old and I have never once pretended to agree just to keep the peace. 🌸 Graceful is overrated. Powerful is the goal. Are you aging gracefully or aging POWERFULLY? 👇

Aging with Grace and Your Personal Choice Aging is a deeply personal journey—one that we each get to define on our own terms. For me, it’s about embracing grace, wellness, and confidence while honoring the choices that feel best for my body and spirit. I’ve chosen to incorporate Botox as part of my routine. For me, it’s not about chasing youth but about feeling refreshed and aligned with the woman I see in the mirror. It’s one of the many ways I care for myself, and it’s a choice that reflects my vision of aging gracefully. But here’s the beauty of aging: it’s yours to own. Whether you choose to embrace every wrinkle as a badge of wisdom, explore treatments, or somewhere in between—it’s all valid. There’s no “right” way, only the way that resonates with you. ✨ Tips for Aging Powerfully: 1. Prioritize Wellness: Hydration, sleep, and movement work wonders. 2. Mind Your Mindset: Embrace gratitude for your journey and wisdom. 3. Skincare Rituals: Sunscreen and a simple routine make a huge difference. 4. Your Style, Your Rules: Play with fashion and beauty—it’s never too late to reinvent. 5. Choose for You: Whether it’s Botox, skincare, or au naturel, make choices that light you up. Aging is a privilege, and we get to decide how we want to navigate it. Let’s celebrate all the ways we evolve and redefine beauty after 50. What’s one choice you’ve made or practice you’ve adopted that makes you feel radiant? Let’s inspire each other! 💖 #AgingWithGrace #Over50Style #BeautyAtEveryAge #SilverHairInfluencer #WellnessOver50 #ConfidenceIsAgeless

🔥 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐆𝐲𝐦. 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡. 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐅𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬. 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧—𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫. I’ve officially taken my strength training to a whole new level. Made the decision to switch from long distance running and endurance training to lifting weights last September. Started lifting 3x week with a trainer + walking a minimum of 10K steps per day. This month, I joined a new gym, started working with a new strength coach and a new trainer and I'm now lifting 4x week... I have set some bold fitness goals for next spring (which I'll tell you about in due time 😉). I want to get stronger and healthier - not because of a New Year’s resolution or a short-term challenge… But because I’ve made a decision: 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞. As a midlife woman navigating post-menopause, entrepreneurship, motherhood, caregiving, and all of life's stressors — I know that building strength is not just about how I look. It’s about how I live. It’s about resilience, bone health, muscle mass, metabolism... And ultimately AGING POWERFULLY and STAYING OUT OF A NURSING HOME. But let’s be real: consistency needs fuel. So I’ve set performance goals to keep me focused, motivated, and on track for the long haul. To all the midlife women out there: You don’t have to accept the decline. You can take charge. You can get stronger, fitter, and more energized than you’ve felt in years. Your body is not broken. It’s just asking for a new strategy. And you are so worth showing up for. Let’s make strength a lifestyle — not a phase. Have a wonderful rest of your Thursday🌟 P.S.: It is important to note that what is fuelling my strength gains is eating ENOUGH protein and the RIGHT kind of carbs. If you want to know how much protein you need to eat, do not forget to get my free "Eat More Protein Guide" by sending me a DM with the word PROTEIN Audio: @drvondawright @mindbodygreen #menopause #menopausehealth #sarcopeniaprevention #osteopeniaprevention #menopausefitness #midlifefitness #midlifesuccess #womenover40 #womenover50fitness #over50andfabulous #thisis56

The FASTEST way I can help you feel better is to help you change what you are putting on your skin!! Our skin is the largest organ of our body and its job is to protect us from outside stressors. What we are putting on our skin affects our health!! The average woman puts 168 chemicals on their skin EVERYDAY!! And our teens and tweens.. they average over 200!! The endocrine disrupting chemicals (hormone disruptors) are found in our lotions, creams, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, makeup, hairspray, perfume, toothpastes, deodorants, cleaning supplies, I could go on and on. These artificial ingredient endocrine disruptors build up over time and cause health issues like infertility, heavy periods, autoimmune, skin issues, digestive issues and nervous system disorders, to name a few. ( if you want to learn more about endocrine disruptors and their affects on our hormones drop HORMONES below and I’ll add you to me Aging Powerfully - Inside & Out group) I decided to partner with this company because it was founded on the basis of creating high performing natural products that won’t add to your body’s toxic load. And it started with their simple 2 step Skincare line because that is the fastest way to help people feel better!! They are the most luxurious skin care products- that are guaranteed to not exacerbate your hormones going whacky! All their products are plant based, gluten free, cruelty free and third party tested to be endocrine disruptor free, toxin and mold free and free of any heavy metals!! If you’re going to buy skincare, why not buy products that WORK BETTER and help you FEEL BETTER?!?! And right now, while supplies last, the deals are up to 43% off! Plus, I have a $10 off coupon you can use on top of the deeply discounted prices!! Say SKINCARE below and I will send you the details!! 💕

Every step counts, and every stair is a stepping stone in your powerful aging journey!🚶‍♀️ The path to the top 1% is wide open, and it starts with you choosing to take it. Let’s crush those steps. 🚶 Research shows getting 8,000 steps daily can cut your risk of heart disease in half. 🩸 Regular walking helps regulate blood-sugar levels. A brisk walk after dinner can lower your blood-sugar response, aiding digestion and sleep. ⚡ It’s a natural way to combat anxiety and depression, keeping you balanced and energized. 🌬️ Studies show that adding intensity to your walking routine can significantly improve body composition. Incorporating faster paces or hills can enhance fat loss and metabolic health. 👏 Consistently reaching 8,000 steps is a manageable goal that prepares you for more intense workouts and other exercises.

"Aging Gracefully or Aging Powerfully? Choose Your Path! 🧓💪" 🚨 credit goes to original poster (tag below if you know) 🚨 Meet this incredible 76-year-old man defying the odds with each **front lever to muscle up**! 🌟 It's not just about aging; it's about thriving. Let's shatter the myths about what it means to grow older: 🚫 **Myth: Aging Means Weakening**: Absolutely not! Aging gracefully can mean aging powerfully. Through smart strength training, we can tap into the **Fountain of Youth**. It's not just about looking younger; it's about feeling invincible at any age. 🌐 **Smart Strength Training**: - **Progressive Overload**: Gradually increasing the challenge to your muscles. - **Functional Fitness**: Exercises that mimic daily activities, enhancing your quality of life. - **Recovery Focus**: Emphasizing rest and nutrition as much as the workout itself. 💥 **Aging is a Choice**: You decide whether aging will be a journey of decline or a path of continuous growth. This man chose strength, mobility, and vitality over the traditional narrative of frailty. 🧠 **Benefits Beyond the Physical**: - **Mental Fortitude**: Every rep is a lesson in resilience, showing you that your limits are often self-imposed. - **Social Connection**: Fitness communities provide support, motivation, and camaraderie, making the journey enjoyable. 🏃‍♂️ **Practicality of Strength**: Imagine climbing stairs without huffing, lifting your groceries effortlessly, or playing with your grandkids without fear of injury. This isn't just possible; it's practical with the right training. Age is just a number, but your strength is your legacy. Let's redefine what it means to age. It's not about defying age; it's about embracing life with all the vigor of youth. Join us, and let's make every year stronger than the last! 💪🧓✨ #gymnasticbodies #christophersommer #gst #calisthenics #fountainofyouth #StrengthAtAnyAge #NeverTooLate #nevertoolatetostart #arlingtonvirginia #northernvirginia #arlingtonva

JJ Virgin reveals the 3 essential components of building muscle: 1. Hypertrophy: building muscle size 2. Strength: how much weight can you lift at one time 3. Power: how fast you can move that weight These goals can help to shape the way you train. I love JJ’s mantra about resistance training: We shouldn’t be training to get better at training. We should be training to get better at life! Listen to my conversation about Aging Powerfully with JJ Virgin on the Commune podcast! 🎙️ Commune with Jeff Krasno: 540.
