Summary

Exercise and burning belly fat get harder as women age. Plus, a lot of outdated myths exist, so you might be doing things wrong. Debra Atkinson has helped 250,000+ women flip their second half of life with vitality and energy. She's the best-selling author of You Still Got It, Girl! The After 50 Fitness Formula for Women and Navigating Fitness After 50. In this episode, JJ and Debra reveal the best exercises for women over 50, with tips and truths you need to know. Debra gives her number one thing women of this age need to work on, and why. The truth is, yoga and Pilates are good, but they’re NOT enough. She discusses what building muscle does for women metabolically and why the old way of determining flexibility isn’t enough. Then, they talk about core exercise: why it’s important and myths surrounding this important type of exercise. Doing it right will help you lose belly fat and be stronger. Visceral fat is a killer, so you want to learn how to address this. You won’t want to miss the five specific exercises that women over 50 should do and how to do them from Debra. They are super short and doable, leaving you with more energy. If you’re not strengthening your body the right way, your health and your metabolism will suffer, so this is a conversion every woman over 50 needs to hear.
