Fitness After 50: 100 days 100 miles

I founded a web magazine for women over 50 (www.50Fabulous.com) and as a result have spent the bulk of my time at the computer in the last 5 years. It has been shocking how unfit I have become. I asked my Fitness Expert, Candace Karu and Personal Trainer, Sarah MacColl to partner with me on a fitness makeover and we launched it just this month. If you are over 50 and find yourself in the same shoes, join us!

I'm not over 50, but I admire your commitment! I work at a hospital and recently, we've been thinking about ideas on how to motivate women in your age range to get fit without overwhelming them. Do you have any thoughts?

There is a wonderful book that my Vet just recommended based on a conversation we had about the 50Fabulous.com website. It is "Younger Next Year for Women" by Chris Crowley and Henry S. Lodge, M.D. Regardless of the title, it's a no-nonsense (but very fun) book on how important fitness is especially as we age. I highly recommend it.
