Donnie Moss explains how she went from cardio-only routines to strength training at 55 and why she now pushes “move every day” as the baseline for feeling better. She shares a practical approach built around short, doable workouts that help midlife women rebuild consistency without making fitness an all-or-nothing identity. The conversation also gets real about menopause symptoms that can feel scary when nobody has named them, plus how mindset and self-talk can shape follow-through. You’ll leave with simple starting points, a clearer way to measure progress, and the motivation to take one small step today that stacks into momentum.
