I second the Flipping 50. Lots of good You Tube video's and her FLippng 50 TV episodes are worth a watch. I am just starting with her Ideas of rotations, weights and cardio and rest as what has worked in the past is no longer working. She really stress rest. Not doing more. And talks a lot about Coritsol and keeping that in check. I also appreciate that it is not a one size fits all approach. She makes suggestions and you need to figure out what works for you. She also has a book that has a lot of the same content.

For those of you who follow Debra Atkinson on Flipping 50, she posted this weekend that she was filming DVD's! Her post said this was at customer request.
If you haven't checked out her Flipping 50 resources, visit https://www.flippingfifty.com/ She has also written two books available at Amazon: You've Still Got It Girl and Navigating Fitness After 50. I am currently a participant in a small test group of a new program she has developed called Fit U. You had to meet a minimum criteria (over 50, over 20lbs to lose, modify some of your eating habits and change up your exercise). Yes, I did pay to join. It's an 8 week program and we are in week 3 already. I am enjoying it. The workouts we do are filmed at her home with no music so you can play your own although I don't. The cardio workouts are boxing/kickboxing intervals and, so far, the weight workouts are supersets. Tomorrow will be Day 1 of Week 3 strength workouts, so not sure what is in that one yet. I found Debra through Facebook - someone I met on a Cathe trip a couple of years ago had liked her page so I checked it out. I'm still not through all of Debra's resources but there are plenty. She recently rolled out a "TV" channel and has some good podcasts as well. I'm still digesting the stuff from the program I am in so I haven't had a lot of extra time to keep up with everything else she releases. It's worth it to check out her information.

Thanks, Chaplyn for mentioning Flipping Fifty - I subscribed to her You Tube channel and her "TV" service. She looks like she provides some nice down to earth advice.
I may see if our library carries any of her books. Thanks again - I will be 50 this year - so very timely!! Donna |
