The Flipping 50 Show

This episode is all about how to become a regular exerciser. I’ve privately coached many men and women who wanted just that. They wanted to be the one who gets up every day and walks or who is a regular at the gym. They wanted to make time even when work-related social hours popped up and tempted them with cocktails. Our social media followers ask this quite often. So.. here it is. I thought hard about how I would lay out the steps to become a regular exerciser. This is my top five. This episode is sponsored by the STRONGER program. It’s our newest program and it’s going to launch this fall. Right now we have 27 women in our beta group testing it for us and they’re seeing and feeling results. This is the start of week seven so they have this week and next in the beta program. Then we’ll share results. I can’t wait. If you want to be first in line for the launch of the full program then you want to join our subscribers and I’ll link to how to do that in the show notes. How to Become a Regular Exerciser: I Did It and You Can Too #1 I don’t make excuses.  I grew up in a small town in the middle of the Midwest. I visit frequently. There is no “clean” food to be found. You’ve got to make your own. I travel frequently. I take food with me, and often a blender. I stop for groceries. I ask about refrigerators in the room. I let my hosts know there are foods that don’t agree with me. I will get up early before a speech, a travel day, following a golf tournament, or a conference to get fresh air and physical activity. I was a single mom working two jobs, publishing a book, and training for triathlons. I spend hours upon hours following my son around golf courses, driving to out of state tournaments, and fielding phone calls from over 20 staff members and thousands of club members as a Personal Training director. Then responded to hundreds of students in my university courses. I understand obstacles. You can either look at them as excuses why not now or as reasons why now is absolutely the time. #2 I take care of my own needs. I’ll excuse myself early to go to bed because I’m a morning person and I know I can’t do both late and early and function at my best. I let house guests know I wake early and might be making noise in the kitchen before dawn or out on a run when they get up and they can help themselves. I respect others’ needs and expect the same. If it makes someone uncomfortable or they don’t respect my needs I don’t spend a lot of time with someone.  #3 I know the difference between opportunities and best for me.   At conferences you can start your day earlier with breakfasts before the conference, do meetings at breaks, stay late after the party and it’s all in the name of connecting with people you love and want to collaborate with, but all of it is simply too much. I choose my priorities so I can keep the down time to recharge between activities.  When I’m traveling to an Ironman race, there are opportunities to do swims, and rides, and shake out runs and others seemingly doing them all. I know I have to stick to my plan and not be caught up in the “opportunity” to do what others are doing. I don’t join a lot of groups that ride or run or swim because then I would end up doing someone else’s workout instead of following my own plan. There are times when it’s a fit and there’s a reason to be with others who push you, but most often you need to plan your work (and workouts) and work the plan. A single coach may be better than a group fitness program with 90 classes available to you. #4 I set goals. Since I was 31 when I trained for my first marathon I’ve set big goals so that I train with purpose. I don’t train for toned arms or a flat belly. Those are benefits of focus on specific goals. First it was marathons, then short triathlons, then long ones. The difference in mindset is dramatic. “Exercise” is something random without a specific reason or deadline.  Goals I set revolve around life experiences I want and often around people I want in my community. Become a regular exerciser by keeping yourself on the hook with a goal. #5 I can relax without exercise. I don’t rely on it. I don’t stress about it. I do feel better when I exercise regularly, but I also know the value of days off and I take them. That plays right back into the motivation to exercise. If you want to become a regular exerciser, regularly taking a break is key. So often we get caught up in having to do it daily. The people I know who do this only miss because they’re sick, or they get burnt out and stop seeing results and quit because the attitude is, it doesn’t matter what I do… I don’t see progress.  Join our subscriber community for the first chance at early bird (and special rates) for programs like STRONGER this fall: http://www.flippingfifty.com/any-age

Is Detox Really Necessary? Why would you consider detox? How to Detox Naturally. These three keys are the focus on this episode.  Ever wondered how to detox… or why you should.. and if it’s just a trend, or fad? Your doctor, after all has probably never suggested it. Is it just a quick way to lose 5 lbs before the weekend? Or after hormones have had their way with you? We answer these questions during this episode with a woman who had a front row seat to why detox is necessary and who also knows and teaches how to detox naturally. For her, it’s not a quick fix for the weekend. She’s been doing it for herself – and her familiy - for seven years. You’ll hear how to detox naturally on this episode. Even if there are no signs of mold in your house, you’ll want to hear how your exposure in the past (before we knew better) and incidental exposure now may matter to you. If you’re exercising, and eating “right,” and yet not reaping the rewards, it may not be hormones alone but something else acting on them. Toxins may be getting in the way of your weight loss, and your energy levels.  My guest Bridgit Danner has been a licensed acupuncturist since 2004 and certified Functional Diagnostic practitioner since 2015.  Her interest in natural health grew from an interest in protecting the environment. Even as a child, she was donating her allowance to Greenpeace and writing cosmetic companies to ask about their practices! While busy running an integrative wellness center in Portland, Oregon, she developed an environmental illness due to toxic mold in her home. Already experienced in hormone management and nutrition, she became acutely aware of the powerful impact of the environment on her health.  She and her family lost their house and everything in it to toxic mold, and they moved 1,000 miles to the Arizona desert to heal. Bridgit now educates about toxins and detox through her online community, and coaches women on her functional natural approach to detox. On this episode I play devil's advocate with Bridgit! So if you’ve ever had doubts about detox being necessary or trendy and a fad that will fade… then this is for you! Bridgit shares her story of mold toxicity so you can understand the severity and longevity that it can have. Questions we cover in this episode: Doesn't the body naturally detox every day? Everyone and her sister seems to have a detox. It seems like a giant fad, what's the difference between "good detox" and “bad fad” detox? What are signs you need detox? Aren't these signs for a LOT of things? How do toxins interfere with weight loss? What are obesogens? How are you exposed? I asked Bridgit, How often do you detox?  Learn more about how to detox naturally and get Bridgit’s guide at: http://www.bridgitdanner.com/ Connect with Bridgit: https://www.facebook.com/womenswellnesscollaborative/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKAowLsdt5bcPE9VKkbaFUQ https://www.instagram.com/hormonedetoxshop/

Exercise for hormone balance? Yes. This podcast is all about four women, or maybe you, who represent women in my programs and private clients I’ve worked with for nearly three decades. Before we dive in, this episode is brought to you my Flipping 50’s 28 Day Kickstart, and the last day to register is the day before the last Thursday of the month. It’s the perfect way to begin making exercise matter more with the Eat More Exercise Less method that improves sleep, decreases stress, and boosts your energy. What exactlyishormone balance? Before you get more hormone balance you obviously need clear definition of hormone balance! If you’re not even sure what hormone balance is or if some of your recent frustration with a lack of your “you-ness” seems to describe hormoneimbalance, read on. This post is for you.  If any of these describe you: You’re putting on weight lately no matter what you do You have belly fat even though you’re weight is OK You have cellulite on your thighs, belly, bum, or on your upper arms You can’t seem to develop any muscle tone in your legs You’ve got a saggy bum in spite of so many lunges and squats you can’t sit down You’ve turned up the exercise and eat carefully but still no results You’ve got this crepey chest and neck skin Plus: You have touchy joints from prior or current injuries You have had breast cancer surgeries You’ve had other invasive surgery or joint replacement You have a chronic condition And potentially: You can’t sleep well Even if you do sleep you don’t wake up refreshed You have high levels of stress right now You’ve tested your hormones and you’re “normal” but don’t feel it You still don’t have any idea how to exercise “normal” or not You have depression or anxiety You’re taking medications for the above or other things with side effects Your digestion is off (even if you thought that was “just me”) You don’t poo every day at least once (more is better) You have rabbits or pudding instead of snakes (link to podcast) You have gas or bloating you just tolerate And finally: What you used to do doesn’t work any more. Then this is definitely for you. Exercise for hormone balance is not your textbook exercise. If the rules feel like they changed overnight and put you into imbalance you could notice a shift that quickly back into balance too.  You may not be quite so lucky to get it right immediately, but you can feel better. You’ll get signs you’re on the right path and you can lose weight or get the tone you’re after if you’re willing to make some changes.  Hormone balance through exercise starts with these 3 steps: Assess what signs and symptoms you have from the list above. Really, write them down. I’ll wait. Next to each sign or symptom write down what you’ve tried. Make a column of signs and a column of what-I’ve-tried next to it with plenty of options for the solutions. Now get honest. Which things that you’ve tried have you actually tried systematically, one at a time, in a specific sequence?  If you’ve tried things before, even if you don’t yet have results, you know a little more about what does and doesn’t work for hormone balance. Or do you? If you’ve said, “I’ve tried everything! Nothing works!”You may have tried things randomly or unknowingly sabotaged results of a good thing with the wrong type or timing of it. That’s where I want to jump in here with exercise for hormone balance. I’ve written dozens of blogs, dozens more articles, and created still more videos about exercise for hormone balance. I touched on hormones and exercise after 50 in my first book and filled two more books with exercise for hormone balance research. There’s not a lack of information but there’s a lack of time. When you want answers and youre frustrated you want them now, like yesterday. So let me give you some very quick very easy to implement answers. There’s more where that came from, and more how-to do the exercise that will help you most, where this came from. Always Tired Anna Is this you? If you’re tired in the morning even after a full night’s sleep… You wake up not wanting to wake up… You don’t have an appetite in the morning… You may or may not have coffee but you really don’t want food, or exercise, pajamas would be good… Your hormone tests show you don’t have any cortisol at all – even when you should Your exercise for hormone balance: Reduce your exercise. Leave the weights and the High Intensity Interval Training alone for a week. If you can get out for walks (or bike rides) and enjoy yourself – alone, with a friend, or a dog – then do that. Stick with a short duration (20-30 minutes most of the time. A longer time (45-60 minutes)– as long as you enjoy it – on the weekends or day when you have plenty of time and you’re not on the clock can be good. Plan activities you love that have nothing to do with calories and fat and minutes. You need a major reset. Fill up that hole and rest. Focus on sleep, rest, a massage, meditation, journaling, and learn what proper nutrition is for you today – it’s not the “healthy” you once thought. Belly Fat Barb Is this you? You’re the right weight but your proportions have changed You’ve got belly fat you never had before You’re adamant about that coming off now! You’re on bio-identical hormones and they’re still not helping You skip meals or have them at different times all the time You drink coffee to rev up and wine to unwind You read every label, watch exactly what you put in your mouth, count pts, calories You go to bed and wake at varying times Your exercise for hormone balance: Get short quick interval training sets in 1-2 times a week that last 20 or 30 minutes start to end. Get two weight training-to-fatigue days in (same day or alternate). Make these things happen in the morning. Then get outdoors and do something unplugged at least once a week. Hike: get lost for that matter. You need to let go. No minutes, calories, miles tracking. While you’re doing that get a plan for eating. Plan breakfast. Plan lunch. Plan dinner. If you’re over 50, you’re required by hormone law to do some adulting. If everything you do elevates cortisol, everything you do deposits fat to your belly. Lack of regular meals, lack of regular bedtime and wake time, reliance on some supplement or prescription to do the work daily habits should do will backfire. You do the work, and they’ll take you the rest of the way. Ellie Exerciser Is this you? You exercise almost every day You spend hours in the gym (or at home) every week You do a similar distance or duration every time you exercise If you miss a day it drives you crazy You do it all hard You’re feeling flat during workouts lately You don’t really look forward to workouts like you used to You feel tired most of the time and think if you just got a good workout you’d feel better You can’t sleep in spite of being tired Your exercise for hormone balance: Cut your exercise in half. Increase the intensity of some of those longer workouts (1-2 a week) if you like but keep them short. There’s very little evidence that more time results in more results. In 34 years, those people we observe in the gym for hours every day never really changed their body over time. Same shape, same complaints, same energy or less potentially as they aged. For hormone balance, that “hour of power” on the treadmill, is public enemy #1. Lifting weights for the cosmetic effect does little to change your body composition. Those “total body toning” classes can give you a boost of confidence but it’s some short, specific exercise sessions that really get results. If you’re addicted, but tired, and continue your routine you’ll soon be burnout. Toneless Tanya Is this you? Do you exercise but struggle to get toned or add lean muscle? Are you trying to watch what you eat so you can prevent more weight loss? Do you have very little or next to no libido? Do you have a hard time sleeping? When you exercise do you typically keep it moderate and go for longer? When you lift weights do you do about 15 repetitions or more? Or do you finish 10-12 repetitions but know you could do more if you needed to?  Your exercise for hormone balance: Start lifting weights focused on major muscle groups. Even if you want to tone those arms, you want to start with major muscle groups. Stop long slow exercise sessions and long endurance activity. Increase your protein at every meal and eat regularly. Get to bed early and make sure you control your environment. If you love your wine or nightcap, you’ll want to stop that. All of these things kill testosterone, a key hormone for building lean tissue and libido. Testosterone gives you a kick of confidence too also important for libido.  These are but a few scenarios of exercise changes you can make for more hormone balance. Each woman has a unique set of health history, physical status, signs and symptoms that make her unique. If you don’t see yourself here exactly take the one closest and start there.

The thought of participating in the Senior Games as an athlete may have not even occurred to you, yet. That doesn't mean it's too late. I’m forever telling clients to get off that scale. They nod and agree. Then the first thing that comes out of their mouths when we talk about status is about either losing a few pound – or gaining a few pounds – or the dreaded plateau. What would shifting your goal to a starting line do for you? What if it weren't about weight loss at all or about what to eat or a forever search for the right workout?  What if it were about getting better at a sport, performing optimally, and getting focused on something fun for you yet bigger than you? Enter my guest on this episode, Kyle Case of the Huntsman World Senior Games.

In this 10thand final episode of our summer energy series with Christy Mattoon of Mindrewire we talked about the difference between a band-aid and a permanent solution. If you can solve what’s causing your stress symptoms now you can avoid disease later. Daily high levels of stress over time lead to disease. In fact over 80 diseases are tied directly to stress. Since it’s a personal perception each of us needs to find a personal way to recognize and deal with our stress symptoms. Destressing on a daily basis is important for the health of your: Subconscious mind Gut If you have more stress than the body can handle it could be interfering with your optimal energy, your optimal weight and the strategies you’re employing may be actually increasing your stress load. Some degree of stress is necessary! It’s not just unavoidable due to our meaningful lives: the people and things we love are the most likely to cause us stress! But in fact you, like a kite or violin, need a certain amount of tension to thrive. It’s not about trying to eliminate stress as much as trying to relieve it by adding joy to the equation. While you’re busy, while your building a career and caring for others, taking time to fill your own cup and find happiness and joy in every day will decrease stress symptoms. Stress symptoms vary greatly from one individual to another but often include: Forgetfulness Sleeplessness or desire to sleep more Introversion/social retreat Headache Stomachache Illness Injury Moodiness Argumentative nature Inability to concentrate/focus Skin issues: blemishes, conditions Digestive issues Stress is caused by or solved by: Nutrition Exercise Rest & recovery Hormones Sleep Coping strategies  Techniques and practices often effective for relieving stress symptoms: Music Yoga Nature Pets Time alone Social time Unplugging Adventure Massage Floating in water Laughter Socializing/venting This series has been brought to Flipping 50 with my guest Christy Mattoon.

You’ve heard this your whole life: practice makes perfect. You may have also heard the carefully corrected version: perfect practice makes perfect. You’re always practicing something and it’s either something you consciously choose taking you in a direction you consciously want to go or it’s a habit you’re repeating that keeps you from what you really want.  Throughout this series and the eight episodes before this one you’ve been hearing about vibrational energy and whole brain state. You’ve heard exercises to help you dump stress and get into a place where you can respond instead of reacting to your surroundings. Today is about putting into practice more of the small things that will help you zero in on your most ideal state of energy. Getting good at practicing the right things is a fast way to boost your energy.  Key points in this episode: Life, essentially is practice You are always practicing something: Daily routines, Daily thought patterns Its called practice not perfection Something to think about: If you hesitate to start a new habit because of confusion about options – which is easy to do with dietary advice and fitness advice – try this rethink: what if there was more than one right answer? The point is not to find a perfect absolute, but to find a consistent pattern of getting better. There are many people who exercise regularly. They don’t all do it the same. The beauty of the practice of a routine providing some benefits is the point. You need to commit to a path to be able to apply practice makes perfect. You don’t however have to stay on that path. You can change your mind. You can take a right or left turn or a u-turn and practice another set of habits. As long as you are moving forward you’re able to apply practice makes perfect. Otherwise you’re simply practicing what you’re already got and attracting more of that to you.   In our last episode 10 of this summer energy series we focus on how to solve the reason of the symptoms NOW and avoid disease later.
