Five Ways to Fall Into Healthier Habits this Autumn for Women Over 60

The summer has come to an end, and we now find ourselves entering one of my most favorite times of the year – the Fall!

For most of us over sixty, this seasonal change means saying goodbye to shorts, bathing suits and tanks. A lot of women feel that less-revealing clothing means they can indulge and take a break with their fitness routine. While I always say yes to indulging now and then, I advise against taking any sort of hiatus or break with staying active. In fact, I think Autumn is the perfect time to establish healthier habits to stay motivated in our wellness journeys as we barrel toward the holidays.

HALLOWEEN HAPPINESS

follow-phyllis-halloween-happiness-eating-candy Halloween Happiness starts at the beginning of October for me 🙂 That’s when I begin my countdown to one of my favorite holidays of the year. The reason I love Halloween so much is . . . you guessed it — THE CANDY!!! There are three days of the year that I allow myself all the candy I want — my birthday, Valentine’s Day and Halloween!As you know from my posts, I am extremely careful about what I eat so I do have a method to enjoying all the candy I want without packing on the pounds. There are a lot of different approaches so choose what works best for you.

Five Fashion Tips for Women Over 50

Guest Post written by Candi Randolph of Inspire My Style

It’s probably safe to say that most of us want to look good as we mature. We don’t necessarily have to, or want to, follow every fashion trend that comes along. But, as women over 50 we don’t want to dress like old ladies, either. Let’s discuss some of the things we can do to look our best, every day.

While I’m not a fashion blogger or a fashionista, I do have an eye for style as well as a simple, clear and sensible approach to fashion over 50. My years as an Interior Decorator and Home Stager have given me a perspective that works for fashion, too.

FALL FITNESS FUN WITH PHYLLIS

follow-phyllis-fall-fitness-fun-with-phyllis It’s time to go outside into this crisp, autumn air and have some fall fitness fun with Phyllis! Let’s use the season’s bounty instead of traditional weights to exercise. My big pumpkin weighs about fifteen pounds, the small acorns are about four pounds, and the goose neck squashes are about ten pounds each. So get to the supermarket, get your weights, and let’s get started!

I take my exercise routine seriously but that doesn’t mean I don’t like to have fun. It’s good to mix things up and what better way then to go outside and workout. This fall fitness routine engages your entire body so even though it may look a little silly it will get the job done!
