Belonging to a gym can be a great thing! I love the social aspect of it and there’s nothing quite like being inspired by the woman next to you who’s rocking her workout. But I have my days where I love nothing more than to work out in the comfort of my own home! Having a designated space in my house helps keep me accountable when I don’t feel up to getting myself to the gym. It also enables me to get a quick workout in when I’m crunched for time.
Keep That Pesky Weight Off With Ease
Weight is a whole lot easier to put on than it is to lose – that’s just one of the frustrating, annoying truths that women are plagued with.

Lunch was usually a sandwich and dinner was meat and potatoes. As we boomer babes have aged, most of us do things a little differently now. I almost always have a traditional dinner, but during the day I follow a timed fasting routine so I usually just like to graze on snacks, or little mini meals.
HOW WOMEN OVER 50 CAN LEARN TO EMBRACE MORNING WORKOUTS
Let’s be honest — many of us are not energetic in the morning. Trying to get out of bed can be difficult, but getting out of bed to exercise is impossible for many. Most of us think it’s just easier to hit the snooze button and tell yourself you’ll do your workout later.
