💫 POSTURE 💫 We work out: lift weights, do cardio, stretch, strengthen our core... but as we age it’s so important to keep working on our posture as well. I have a tendency to slouch and make sure I regularly to exercises that correct this. I find there is nothing better than taking a stick and redoing all the basic exercises with it while focusing on proper positioning. It’s also important to stretch since having your shoulders slouch forward usually means your pectoralis (chest) muscles are too weak and that your back muscles need some strengthening. Lie your back on a balance ball and place your arms overhead and then move them to your sides to open your rib cage. Remember to maintain stretches long enough (at least a minute) to reap benefits and then repeat twice. #posture #improving #standtall #lovelife #workingout #correcting #womenempowerment #strong #fit #ftat50 #fitover50 #🌟🌟 @Monaco

💫 A little over 1 1/2 years ago I glued on my wall a picture of « me » presenting my book Embracing Change » in front of an audience. Yesterday was DDay (march 25th 2019) I did it for real. 😀😀😀😀 The book is finished and I had the opportunity to talk about it in front of an audience! I wasn’t outstanding but I am so proud to have gone out of my comfort zone to do it! It’s what my book is about: setting goals, voluntarily bringing changes into your life, pushing yourself out of your comfort zone to make your dreams come true. Are you making your dreams come true? #dreams #makingdreamscometrue #bookstagram #book #publishing #embracingchange #lovelife #reachinggoals #empowerment #over50 #🌟🌟 @Monaco

💫 Boost your metabolism ! 🌸 The higher your metabolism the more calories you burn. You can boost it by: - eating more protein and making sure you eat sufficiently throughout the day,🌸 - drinking more cold water: your body uses more energy to heat the water up to body temperature. Drinking water also curbs your appetite and helps you eliminate.🌸 - doing HIIT training : doing quick and very intense bursts of activity can really boost your metabolism and also helps to burn more fat.🌸 - taking cold showers or running outside when it’s cold. Same as cold water, your body will have to use more energy to maintain its temperature. 🌸 - sleeping more. Sleep deprivation can have a negative effect on metabolism.🌸 - lifting heavier/weightraining: the more muscle mass you have, the higher the metabolism (and the more calories you burn).🌸 #🌟🌟 #metabolism #increasemetabolism #weightraining #coldshowers #eatingprotein #hiit #coldwater #sleep #liftingweights #fitat50 #energy #fit #lovelife #🌸 @Monte-Carlo, Monaco

💫 I keep reading posts saying « Summer bodies are made during the winter. »☀️ And I stop and think...🤔🤔 Is being fit just a summertime goal? Shouldn’t it be a lifestyle?🤔 A 365 day process? 🤔 I will let you think about this... Wishing you a great Sunday. #sundayreflections #thoughtoftheday #thoughts #womenempowerment #fitallyear #foreverfit #fitatfifty #🌟🌟 @Monte-Carlo, Monaco

After 2 1/2 years of struggling (after cancer, divorce and heartbreak) I sat down one night and grabbed a pen and piece of paper and wrote down : I AM READY. Three days later this guy called me up. A friend of mine has known him for over 20 years and asked if she could give him my number. Although he lives in other city, we got to know each other over the phone and skype and we hit it off immediately! Just felt like sharing..🤗 What are you ready for. Write it down on paper and let life do the rest.. #intent #believe #3words #iamready #❤️ @Monte-Carlo, Monaco

🌟 many people train because they feel they have to (because it’s good for them or because it will help them lose weight). But finding pleasure in exercising is the best way to do it for sure on a regular basis. Hit outdoors, soak up some sun, take your kids and dog along... enjoy moving more. Going for a walk, shooting a few hoops, going for a bike ride, playing voleyball or soccer. I love going to the gym but nothing can compare to an outdoor workout. Have fun. It’s the best way to get and stay fit... why not forever! #fitforever #outdoorworkout #changeyourworkout #havefun #fitat30 #fitat40 #fitat50 #fitat60 #lovelife #fit #🌟🌟 @Roquebrune-Cap-Martin/Monaco
