Hello,
I’m worried about my female counterpart who’s been quite sedentary lately. Not doing much better myself, could shed some extra pounds, doing few exercises every other week clearly isn’t enough.
After covid pandemic hit, things went downhill for many of us & still are. A lot of working from home, not being able to be particularly outgoing & having bare minimum of physical activities in everydays life. Odd, unhealthy diet, stress due to isolation & whole myriad of questionable stuff going on.
However, being tired of all of that I have tried to break out of this dull circle. Changing my mindset to reach new, healthier goals. Easier said than done. My biggest concern is how to invite my partner along to this journey, in a way I won’t hurt her feelings & worse, drive her away?
In my belief, support system often is foundation of success. So overlooked, but the truth is it’s near impossible to break bad habits without it. Any tips how should I approach this situation to get us on the same page to work together for better outcome?
Thanks,
Hi,
Start by expressing your shared struggles post-pandemic and your desire for a healthier lifestyle. Approach the conversation with empathy and focus on mutual goals for better health. Invite your partner to join you as a team, emphasizing support and understanding rather than pressure. Remember, it’s about working together toward a healthier future. Good luck!
Hey,
It’s great to come across this article as I was just talking to my Mum and Sister-in-law who are both over 40 🙂 about fitness.
They need to put more attention on their health and fitness so I am going to share this article with them, and hopefully they will take notice 🙂
I will let you know how they get on and if they have any questions then I will advise them to get in touch with you, if that is OK?
Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work.
All the best,
Tom

Hi Kay, Brilliant article, people need to hear this more. Looking after yourself should not be a chore. I always recommend systematic, structured training tailored to your age and you couldn’t have said it right. Thank you for the work you are doing spreading the message of self-love to future proof your health.
Angee.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Absolutely, taking care of ourselves shouldn’t feel burdensome—it’s all about finding the right approach that suits our age and lifestyle. I’m glad the message resonated with you. Self-love and prioritizing our health go hand in hand. Keep spreading that positivity and self-care—it makes a world of difference!
Warm regards,

Hi Kay
Your article contains valuable and critical information. Being healthy and fit at above 40 age is a must. But its like people don’t get it. They only get a wake up call when they are sick and its already too late or its now a mountain to climb to get back to the required level of health and fitness. I think its a mindset thing.
Maybe in your articles you must also include psychological aspects to help change the behaviour.
I like your headings. Your images are also in line with your headings. Its lovely.
Thank you for sharing

Hello Richard,
Thank you, and it’s a great idea to include the psychological aspect to help change the behavior.
Hello! Great ageless fitness tips for women over 40! Strength training is so important to compensate for the loss of muscle mass after 40. Flexibility and balance exercises are crucial to keeping proper posture and helping maintain good joint mobility. Thank you for sharing this valuable and helpful piece of information. How many times a week should I strength train?
Hello,
Hey there! Glad you found the tips helpful! For strength training, aiming for about 2-3 times a week is a solid start. Just enough to keep those muscles guessing without turning into a superhero overnight! 😄
wow this is such a great post. i love that you add “and a little bit of humor” or how you put it. This is so important, yeah all the things you mentions is so importatnt. I really feel like this is where most people get lost, that they don’t see the whole perspective. Just focusing time on the Gym will never last “forever” , I feel like you could manage quite some time, but you’ll always relapse, but this , what you are prescribning, taking a big perspective of things is the only sustaiable way. thank you so mnuch for this super well written post!
Jonah,
Thank you for reading. I always say fitness is an entire mindset.
