The Flipping 50 Show

Is your skin care making you fat? Hormone disruptors hide in a lot of beauty products, which isn't pretty at all.  Eating and exercise are obvious ways to tackle the belly fat that hormone imbalance can cause. Sleep and stress are understandable. Are you sure about your skincare routine and those products you're putting on your skin by 9am most mornings? Abby Jean from Annmarie Skincare is my guest in this episode.

Have you had a doctor told you to exercise more and eat less? Or a trainer told you to accept that you’re getting older, or possibly accuse you of eating more than you’re saying or not doing the exercise between sessions you said you are? Have you had a nutritionist tell you that based on your calories in and calories out you should be losing weight?

Women notoriously have a challenge stopping to put themselves and their own wishes first. They say they want to but when they really have the chance it's hard! You've been ignoring or stifling what you want for too long!  Then, even if you do resurrect those personal desires and have a vision of what you'd love life to look and feel like, do you have a clear path to get it? 

Wouldn’t we all like better exercise results? Traditionally that meant more. More time, more repetitions, more sets, more speed, more something. The question isn’t whether you’re exercising or not. It’s whether what you’re doing is really making a difference.  It’s so much like running a business that I can’t help but compare business and fitness.

In this episode my guest is your body, sharing information about fat loss. Your body wants to shed unwanted weight and fat. Your body will slow your metabolism if you send conflicting messages with more exercise and less food. Your toxic exposure may have resulted in fat that's harder to lose through exercise alone

Kim and Debra Atkinson had a conversation and invite you eavesdrop on us. Much in common along with some distinguishing factors. Kim, similar to Debra, was a personal trainer for 15 years (most of her clients were women in midlife) before becoming a virtual health and self-care coach. Kim and Debra compare and contrast personal habits. They're giving a behind-the-scenes peek at coaches.

Diets about food are abundant! What about detoxing from all the chemicals and pollutants that confuse your hormones, slow your metabolism, and make you feel like it's your fault? You're exercising after all and eating "healthy" but nothing, nada, no progress? Well, never fear, it doesn't take less food, more exercise, in fact quite the opposite though it does take paying attention to some other things. 

Wake up your workout and your results with these four simple ways to increase the intensity. You can change speed or weight, properly, depending on your body and goals.  If you're a beginner or restarting your workout, set your foundation again first. Then you can look at adding one or more of these in a couple weeks. Women over 50 lifting weights are setting themselves up for a higher metabolism and optimal hormone balance. Ultimately, that's stronger, fitter, faster.
