Perhaps you know about the Dove Evolution Campaign.  If not, it’s a campaign that started a while back to show us, especially our daughters and sons, what real people look like before the make up, hair, and photoshop gets a hold of them.

I stumbled upon this video, and the campaign, through a great blog called Hummingbird Mind .  Her “Empty Nest – Full Life” credo rings true with me.  She has taken her empty nest and filled it with her passion for living.

Because she has raised daughters, she has affinity for the struggles that every mother has with her daughters;  especially when it comes to their self-esteem.

When a mother hears a tear-soaked cry from her daughter proclaiming she’s not pretty enough, it’s a cruel reminder of what our society is doing to us.  It tugs at our hearts and infuriates us at the same time.  How can my beautiful daughter or granddaughter see herself that way?

Well, here’s the answer.

Show this video to your daughters, your sons, and anyone else who thinks they know what real beauty is when they see a fashion magazine or billboard.

Granted, I wouldn’t mind a bit of photoshopping on my own ol’ lady face and figure, but it’s not reality. And happiness starts with reality and acceptance – especially when we’re young and just forming our opinions of ourselves and our bodies.

The next time you hear a young girl or boy complain about their appearance, show them this video. Let them know that what they are comparing their body to is a cartoon drawing with no basis in reality. They may as well compare themselves to Daffy Duck… or Barbie.

Back to Barbie… I thought we’d learned that lesson back in the 60′s.  I guess not.  We are still sold the “body beautiful” in plastic, silicone,  and photoshopped images.

Will there ever be a time when we are NOT told we’ll be happy if we are just ________ enough?

p.s.  I do believe true beauty lies within and one has to feel good to look good.  Exercise has a lot to do with how a person feels.  I exercise because, yes, I want to be fit and trim, but mostly because I want to be strong and healthy.  You can read more about what I have learned about exercise by clicking on this link:  Lessons I Learned About Exercising

Okay, that’s a good question.  Will you have success in any one of these areas without practicing them all?

We’ve all been, or know someone who has been on a diet which consists of some magic pills, canned drink, or other food fad.  What happens?  Do you lose the weight?  Maybe.  Do you keep it off?  Never.  And why?  Because the other two elements may be missing – nutrition and exercise.

If you diet without nutrition in mind, your health could be at risk.  If you exercise without proper nutrition, your health could be at risk.  It appears that the only way to have a healthy body is to combine nutrition and exercise.

According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), when we talk about weight loss, we have to talk about not only dietary changes, but HEALTHY dietary changes along with regular physical activity.  The CDC states ” The key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight isn’t about short-term dietary changes.  It’s about a lifestyle that includes healthy eating, regular physical activity, and balancing the number of calories you consume with the number of calories your body uses.”

At our age we should know that maintaining a healthy weight is not all about looking good in our jeans.  It’s about good health now and as we age.  As my sister the runner says, “We are creating the bodies we’ll take into our old age.”

Most of us will try to lose weight by decreasing our caloric intake.  That will work at first, but evidence shows the only way to maintain that weight loss is to exercise regularly.  There you go – health, nutrition, and exercise – together again.

The CDC also states that along with maintaining our healthy weight, physical activity done regularly helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes beyond the benefits you get from the weight loss alone.

So, yes, it’s important to lose weight, but losing weight alone won’t give you the healthy body you need.  A regular exercise program that includes strength training, combined with a nutritious diet, will be the ticket to a healthy life.

Most people of a certain age see a few pounds start creeping up year after year.  Many people don’t realize just how many pounds they have added over the course of some years because it’s a pound one year, then two pounds the next, and so on.

Start by asking yourself the hard questions.  Are you overweight?  Is your weight causing you health problems?  Are you exercising and not losing any weight?  Are you dieting and not losing weight?  If this sounds like you, consider what the CDC has to say about the necessity of combining nutrition with exercise in order to become healthy.

If you are curious about your own weight and how it is affecting your health, check out your BMI (body mass index) with this calculator provided by the CDC.  Once you know, the rest is up to you.  Start a fitness program today that includes nutrition and exercise together to improve your health now and for the future.

So, it’s come to this, has it.  First, you start enjoying the AARP bulletins, then you buy a pill organizer… and love it.

Even though my pills consist mostly of (knock wood) vitamins and one allergy pill, I still like to be sure I take them every morning.

Well, the ritual became a bit tedious, and yes, I forgot sometimes, staring at the bottles, wondering, wondering, wondering… did I take my pills this morning or didn’t I?

So, I succumbed and bought myself a weekly pill dispenser.

Why the hesitation?  Memories and resistance.  My Dad had a pill organizer when he got older – key words:  “when he got older.”

Resistance is futile.  We will be assimilated.

Aging is inevitable, if we’re lucky.  Having a pill organizer is a reminder that we’re getting older and a bit forgetful.

But, missing your vitamins and medications is a bad thing.  So, I sit down and fill my little pill dispenser thingy every week.

Now each morning I pop open my dispenser, take my handful of vitamins and medicine, and check to see what day it is.

I’ve kind of grown to like this ritual.  Maybe in a few years I’ll graduate to the month-at-a-time pill organizers and take the calender off my kitchen wall.

p.s. If you like the idea of a monthly organizer, here’s one I found that would do the trick.

and very little to do with ability.

If you’ve been following my fit after 50 series, you’ll notice I’ve had some “fits and starts.”

Women over 50 have a special relationship with exercise.

Even though I’ve been able to develop a great exercise program around Scott’s FatLossQuickie fitness program, I found that doing one form of exercise every day wasn’t going to work for me.

Even though I am dedicated to some sort of fitness program for the rest of my life, I have begun to see routine exercise, any routine exercise, as a choice of something fun to do every day.

I’m inspired by my sister and brother-in-law who, as they sit and have their coffee in the morning, inquire of each other “what are you doing for exercise today?”

That is what I have learned during these last 30 days – exercise is nothing if not something to enjoy every single day.

I enjoy doing Scott’s FatLossQuickie fitness program.  I love that I went from doing 3 leg extensions on the floor ball when I started to doing 30 leg extensions.  I was ready to give up on those when I started!

I love that I went from using 2 pound weights to using 8 pound weights for most of my weight bearing exercises.

Scott’s FatLossQuickie fitness program was the routine, strategic exercise program I needed to build strength and flexibility at a measurable rate.

But, I also loved that I took time to walk the beach and ride my bike.  My exercise program can’t be limited to increasing weight and building reps.  My exercise program has to include things that take me outside of my body.

So, what did I learn about fitness after 50 during the last month?

• Do some exercise every day. No matter what it is, do some form of exercise every single day.

• Do something for fun every day. Even if you enjoy lifting weights, change the scenery.  Go outside, walk, ride a bike, go to the beach, go to a playground, dance… whatever you do that will make you smile, do that thing!

• Don’t weigh yourself. Scales are fickle.  A pound here and a pound there really doesn’t matter much.  Lose a few and rejoice;  gain a few and cry.  Do you really want to have your emotions ruled by a pound or two?  I know I’ve lived way too long to be pulled this way and that by some stupid scale.

• Don’t listen to studies. Especially those studies that say women over 50 can’t lose weight without uber-exercise.  That’s just foolish.  I know too many women my age who have lost weight with regular exercise at a rate that fits into their lives.

• Do eat a healthy diet. I really really really had to give up some things I love in order to lose weight.  Massive amounts of pasta three or four times a week just won’t work.  Lots of vegetables, lean protein, and no sugar… that’s the plan.  Yes, I confess, wine is my favorite vice.  Why do you think I exercise so much?

• Do take a break. Okay, when I go on vacation, I indulge – a lot.  I am, after all, on vacation.  I slack off both exercise-wise and diet-wise.  This is to be expected and may even be a kick to the metabolism.  Who knows.  Anyway, enjoy.  When you’re over 50 you look at these things differently, I guess.

• Do surround yourself with positive people. When you’re trying to improve your overall health, the greatest gift you can give yourself is positive people;  people who are truly interested in doing things that improve your joy of life.  Hang out with friends and family that make you laugh.

There is so much more to fitness than exercise.  When you’re over 50, this truth becomes so dang clear!  Exercise alone will not give you total health and fitness, but your overall health and fitness will depend on your commitment to maintaining a healthy and happy lifestyle.

If that sounds like a lot of double talk, it is.  Hey, who said it was easy getting old?!  Exercise, eat right, have fun, stay fit, be positive, and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something you want to do!  I’m looking forward to many more years of doing whatever I dang well please!  How ’bout you?

I hope you’ll stop by Remarkable Wrinklies often. And, do try to fit exercise, and fun,  into your daily routine.

Okay, we may be down, but we’re not out.

We all heard about the new AMA study right?  This is the study that found it’s impossible for women over 50 who have gained weight during the perimenopause and menopause years to lose weight.  We can never, ever exercise the weight off.

The study shows that women over 50 who just want to MAINTAIN their weight have to exercise 60 minutes a day, 7 days a week.

I’m still wondering exactly what exercises these women in the study were doing.  I know I lost weight by doing Scott’s FatLossQuickie fitness program, exercising with weights, doing  10 minutes twice a day, 5 days a week.  However, I did this exercise along with riding my bike when I could and walking, also.

PLUS, I have been eating a diet that consists of oatmeal, flax meal, soy milk, nuts, green tea, vegetables, brown and wild rice, beans, chicken, and seafood.

And, yes, this woman is not easily separated from her wine.  So, there’s my vice – but come on!  No ice cream, no cookies, no chips, hardly any meat, no bread…

Will this woman over 50 lose weight?  Damn straight I will!

Will I see it melt off in a weekend, week, or even a month?  Probably not.

That’s where the baby steps come in.

When I started doing Scott’s FatLossQuickie fitness program, I had trouble with most of the exercises.  Now, instead of doing 3 leg extensions on my floor ball, I do 30.

For now, I will continue to strengthen my body and not be too concerned about losing weight.  Baby steps.

Then, as the months roll along, I intend to prove that a woman over 50 CAN lose weight.

When we hear all those promises of “just 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week” we know that sounds too good to be true. Well, now we have the study to prove it.  I believe that taking an hour long walk every day won’t help a woman over 50 lose weight – that is if she is still eating like she did when she was 20, 30, or even 40.

Scott will be the first to tell you that his FatLossQuickie exercise program alone will not give you total health and fitness. For that reason, he also offers nutrition tips and recipes, along with motivation to get you outdoors doing things you enjoy – things that continue to burn fat and build muscle while you have fun.

I’ll check back in and let you know if my theory is right, or if weight loss is a lost cause for women over 50 years old.

Don’t let this new AMA study scare you. Remember that we always knew this somewhere in the back of our mind. Now we just have to put our fitness first and make time to do what we know we have to do.

I hope you’ll stop by Remarkable Wrinklies often. And, do try to fit exercise into your daily routine.

Oh boy.  Who saw the new AMA study today?  It’s hopeless.  Women over 50 who have gained weight during, say, those pesky perimenopause and menopause years, will never realistically be able to exercise it off again.  Ever.

The study shows that women over 50 who just want to MAINTAIN their weight have to exercise 60 minutes a day, 7 days a week.

Come on!  What’s the standard, widely accepted belief about exercise?  What do we see in all the magazines and infomercials:   “Do __________ 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, and lose that weight!”  Baloney.

This study is irritating some women while affirming the beliefs of other women.  It does explain why so many women go out on their 30 minute walk, 3 days a week, and never lose a pound.

So, how can we be the exception to the findings of this study?  First, take a look at the highlights from the study.

1) Women over 50 who have gained weight had a very slim chance of losing the weight with exercise.   However, women over 50 who were at a healthy weight had a good chance of maintaining their healthy weight with exercise.

2) Women over 50 must exercise 60 minutes a day, 7 days a week in order to maintain their weight.  So, if you are overweight right now and start exercising to this extent, you will maintain your “overweightness?”  How sad.

3) Women over 50 who exercise 60 minutes a day, 7 days a week while eating a proper, calorie reducing, nutritious diet will lose weight.

Where does this leave us?  Back to the same old routine, that’s where.  Diet and exercise.

Losing weight has never, ever been about exercise alone – even extreme exercise.  Losing weight depends on a combination of exercise and diet.  The exercise must contain both aerobic (that’s the heart pounding stuff) and resistance (that’s the muscle and bone stuff) exercises PLUS changing your diet from fat-and-sugar-filled to nutrient filled.

Empty calories still produce fat in your body even if you’re exercising 60 minutes a day, 7 days a week.  When our metabolism slows down, most notably for women when we hit 50 ish, we have to improve our diet in order to lose weight.

The study really is not telling us anything we don’t already know in the back of our minds somewhere.  Yes, when we hear all those promises of “just 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week” we know that sounds too good to be true.  Well, now we have the study to prove it.

Even though I have chosen Scott Tousignant’s FatLossQuickie fitness program which is 10 minutes twice a day, I know that adding my 5 mile walk or 12 mile bike ride, along with eating a healthy diet, is important for my fitness, and my sanity.

Scott will be the first to tell you that his FatLossQuickie exercise program alone will not give you total health and fitness. For that reason, he also offers nutrition tips and recipes, along with motivation to get you outdoors doing things you enjoy – things that continue to burn fat and build muscle while you have fun.

My FatLossQuickie weight and cardio workouts allow me to build muscle,  burn fat, strengthen my bones, and get oxygen moving to my brain, all in the comfort of my own little home.  The walking, biking, and swimming gives me the joy of being outside, enjoying the fresh air, sunlight, and scenery, all while burning more fat and building more muscle.

Can a woman over 50 lose weight, get fit, feel great, be healthy and happy by just doing 10 minutes of weights and 10 minutes of cardio five times a week in her house?  No.  We all need a well rounded fitness program that includes some sort of walking, biking, skating, swimming, skiing, or whatever we enjoy doing outdoors.  This is a fact of life over 50, and really at every age.

Don’t let this new AMA study scare you. Remember that we always knew this somewhere in the back of our mind. Now we just have to put our fitness first and make time to do what we know we have to do.

Doing wall squats does more than make you look good in your jeans.

What can I say about a 90 year old gentleman who does wall squats that would put a much younger person to shame?  Nothing.

My friend Scott Tousignant of FatLossQuickie.com has designed exercise programs for many older folks to help them maintain their strength, balance, and overall well-being as they age. And, yes, he has a 90 year old client doing wall squats that will make you wince.

So, please watch Scott’s client, Bill, and see if you get inspired, too.

Doing exercises that strengthen your legs, lower back, and abdomen are important for the reasons that Scott mentions.  Simply getting in and out of a chair requires strong muscles.  Building those muscles requires some effort, but it’s worth it, especially as we age.

Getting fit after 50 is actually getting fit for life!

My wish is that you’ll join me today in your own quest for lifelong wellness.  Choose an exercise program that fits your lifestyle and get started now.  Look good and feel great for the long haul!  As always, the advice of your doctor  is important any time you start a new exercise program and especially if you have health issues which require special consideration.

I hope you’ll stop by Remarkable Wrinklies often and do try to fit exercise into your daily routine.

Thanks to my beloved Cousin, OSS (that’s another story) I have the perfect fun to share with you ladies!  (Sorry guys.  This will probably just give you that familiar puzzled expression.)

Get ready to have some girlie giggles, then we’ll get back to our exercising tomorrow.  Enjoy these 13 little snippets from the life and times of many of us women.

1. A friend of mine confused her Valium with her birth control pills… She has 14 kids but doesn’t really care.

2. One of life’s mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a woman gain 5 lbs.

3. My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.

4. The best way to forget your troubles is to wear tight shoes.

5. The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don’t know what you are doing, someone else does.

6. The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends.

7. Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today…

8. Sometimes I think I understand everything, and then I regain consciousness.

9. I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and setting fire to my underwear…

10. Amazing! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks 2 sizes!

11. Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like…’You know sometimes I forget to eat!’…Now I’ve forgotten my address, my mother’s maiden name and my keys, but I have never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat!

12.. The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing and then they marry him. =)

13. I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That’s my idea of a Wondermous day!

Fitness after 50 may require tweaking an exercise routine for injuries, illness, and general body condition concerns.

I’ve talked to many people my age and older who say to me “But, I have bad knees.  I can’t do those exercises you’re doing.”

And, they may be right, at first.  Powering through painful exercise moves is a lot of rot.  When you’re working at a fitness program over the age of 50 or so, you have to listen to your pain and go slowly.  The wear and tear you’re feeling could be real signs of injury, and you don’t walk off an injury.

Some folks my age and older have had joint problems that have required surgery and medication.  You can’t tell these folks to keep doing an exercise that hurts them.  A person must be smart about their body and what it will take.

That’s where alternative exercises for bad knees comes in.

Doing exercises that strengthen the areas of your body that are weakened, either by injury or wear and tear, is important to your overall well-being.  So, finding exercises that you can do to slowly build up your strength without causing pain or more injury is important.

Your knees may need special care, but oftentimes with the right exercise, you will strengthen and improve the condition of your knees – and your general fitness.

It’s hard to stay fit when we limit our exercise movements because of our “bad knees.”

When I asked my friend Scott Tousignant of FatLossQuickie.com about this problem, he directed me to his video of alternative exercises specifically designed for people with “bad knees.”

I thought I’d insert a bit of what Scott had to say in his post about working out with “bad knees.”  From Scott’s post :

“If you have issues with your knees you have two choices…

You can say, “My knee is bad I have to avoid exercise or at least certain exercises and that probably means I won’t be able to achieve optimal fat loss because I am limited in what I can do.”

…Or you can say, “I have an arthritic knee and I’m not going to let that stop me from achieving the body and life that I deserve. I know other people with arthritic knees that have achieved tremendous success and I’m not going to let anything get in the way of reaching my goals.”

I’m not going to deny that you are experiencing pain or discomfort, but are you going to let that limit you? Do you think that you can turn that around?”

What will your choice be?

Click here to watch the video which includes 8 great exercises that Scott suggests as alternatives for people with bad knees.

These 8 FREE EXERCISES are designed to slowly strengthen the muscles around the knees while firming your legs, butt, lower back, and even your abs.  The exercises are designed using proper movements to prevent further damage to your knees.

Even if you don’t have to protect your knees when you work out, these 8 FREE EXERCISES are worth doing!  They are powerful muscle strengtheners that will trim and tone your body.

Please give these exercises a try, especially if you have knee problems that have been keeping you from your fitness program.  Of course, the advice of your doctor is important if you have any injury that requires special consideration.

I hope you’ll stop by Remarkable Wrinklies often and do try to fit exercise into your daily routine.
