Over 50 - Lean, Strong, Powerful!

Meditation is a MUST DO in my world, and I teach it to all my women to help to center and ground them, open up to their intuitive powers (these become VERY prominent in midlife!), connect with energy, converse with your Higher Self and Guides, and allow you to see with clarity and live with ease.

In this simple meditation, we focus on breath to take us into the body and nourish the spirit...soooo needed in our busy lives, yes?

Enjoy.

Namaste.

Training at our age requires a different approach at this midlife point. It's not about trying harder, it's about training differently...here, I outline my experience in the lifting arena over a 40 year period as a coach and competitor, and also living as a 60+ woman who uses weights as the cornerstone of my Healthy Ageing routine.

There is simply too much info (and much of it conflicting) and it is sending 50+ women down the wrong path...never reaching their Body Goals or being there for awhile, but it's not sustainable.

How many days do we need to train?

What's the difference between resistance and weight training?

Sets and reps?

Recovery factors

Rest between lifts?

Is fasted training OK?

What about cardio?

It's all here...enjoy ladies! And lets stay strong, lean and healthy beyond 50!

Because we ARE Built to Last! XO!

The longer I hang on social media, the more I see that it's confusing women in all areas of their life. And no where is it more evident than in the food / weight loss / metabolism area.

It has become over complicated, and it is most certainly setting women BACK in their physique desires...this is NOT how we want to live.

For my women, we want to live with FOOD FREEDOM, which means we come to understand and respect our food, and we learn to live INTUITIVELY.

Our macros are in line (protein, carbs, fats) because we have learned how much we need, when, and why.

It's not complicated ladies...it really just takes a bit of time and commitment at the start...and THEN we can let go of the formulas, counting, weighing...UGH. 

Who truly wants to live like that? Not me! Not at my tender age....FREEDOM is at the top of the mountain for us 50+ women...ENJOY this podcast (I also go into it more deeplt in my Youtube Channel - Karen McCoy Fitness - Four Food Rules.

Mindset, mindfulness matters.

THAT is the core of our success and joy (or lack of)...and this is what I have taught for over 30 years.

Want a great body? Start with Mindset.

Want a great relationship? Mindset, baby...

Great career? Healthy parenting? Know your legacy?

Yep. Mindset.

Enjoy....! And start Within for massive success in ALL areas!

Lifting weights is an artform, blending science with good old elbow grease...and intensity is key.

But what exactly is intensity? Does it mean lifting super heavy weights all the time?

No, it can be defined by volume moreso...sets, reps, resting time, and using training protocols liks drop sets, pyramids, super sets etc.

The older athlete (40+) needs to walk a tight rope between enough intensity to SEE results and enough recovery time (recovery is key at this age).

This is an excerpt from my Healthy Living Program which I ran for years, and which I coached women daily through our live chats, email, Fb etc.

Accountability and feedback is key....

Here, I outlined a few key success factors that will help you on your body sculpting journey. Enjoy!

We all have experienced narcissism...that feeling that you are being gaslighted, made to feel that you're the problem.

Then there's that sense of control, manipulation...a sense of isolation and doubting who you are...

In our weekly Warrior Woman Mastermind Coaching Class, I invited in relationship expert Bethany Dotson to enlighten our tribe on what exactly narcissism is, hwo to detect it, how it works and what WE can do about it.

The challenge and change lies within US. That's the turning point.

I trust you will love this latest podcast....

When it comes to any habitual change, we have two levels of sabotage..

Conscious and unconscious.

My many years coaching in the food and fitness realm bears this out...sometimes we have 'best intentions' and we will do good for awhile, and then 'life happens'...we slowly lose all our positive habits.

We go back to 'where we were'.

Other times however, it really is a conscious sabotage where we kinda want the change, but when it comes to doing the Work, or having to commit, we pull back.

We make excuses. We deflect...this too is our pattern...

This is how I see things, and really, it's just about being honest with self. And that goes a long way toward making solid decisions and successful changes in the direction of where you want to go.

XO! Karen.
