Diet & Exercise Routine Over 60 to Beat Belly Fat

Angie - when I hit early menopause 20 years ago nobody ,not even my doctor, was able to help me. When I found your channel 10 years ago. It was a life saver. I know you’re not a doctor, but you do curate great information from your own research, Doctors and other specialist in a way I can understand and take action on. So thank you so much for the continued work. You do important work to bring this message to women. My only regret is you didn’t start your channel in 2006 😊

I wasn’t going to comment but I decided it may be helpful to someone. I am 69, 3.5 years ago my husband took his own life and I became widowed unexpectedly. From that point on I became an “eat anything I want and do nothing extra” woman. It was not good for me or my body. I recently have had enough and started caring about how I eat, lifting weights 4 days a week and doing cardio EVERY day. I cannot believe how much my body has changed in 3 weeks. I do lift heavier weights, 15, 20, even 30s for some. But if we can lift bags of groceries we can lift that amount of weight to work out. You think you know how much weight you can lift, but if you just push yourself a little bit heavier you will be amazed. Do not think you can’t do it, you can. The secret to this and most everything in life…”YOU GOTTA WANT IT” and I do. ❤

A nurse once told me that we don’t stop exercising when we grow old, we grow old because we stop exercising. Think about that 😮

I think it’s also important to acknowledge the importance of exercise’s effect on mental health, and how it is so important for our mental health to keep moving.

I am 73 and NO belly fat. I exercise EVERY day at sunrise OUTSIDE rain or shine.

The irony of humans seems to be that when someone looks great we start asking "what are you doing to stay so thin?" , "what are you doing to have such great skin?" "Where did you buy that top?", etc...but then when you start sharing that info, we start telling you what's wrong with what you do, why we aren't going to do it, what other people have said to do, or make other snide comments... Thanks for sharing what you're doing Angie...I started watching you because of how well you seem to be aging and appreciate the continued info on what's working for you and what's not. It makes it so that I can try what I think might work for me..or just applaud what you're doing.

It’s never too late to start an exercise and diet routine! Set your self up for success. I’m 67 and still working out 💪🏻

I’m 68 and work out with hand weights 2-3 times per week. Currently at 8, 10 & 12 pounds across various forms of reps. Feeling stronger and working to increase weights up to 15-20 pounds. I also take a barre class 1-2 times per week to help with form and posture. At 5’-8” and 137 pounds and feel that I can physically do anything I want to do. It’s never too late to start.

I love how REAL you are.

I started lifting heavy 7 months ago when I turned 53 and will never stop and won’t go back to the way I was living before. I absolutely love it!

I just turned 80 in April. I’m still working out when I can. Right now I’m dealing with an injury, but plan to get back into ASAP. Keep doing what you’re doing. Your older self will thank you. Exercise isn’t an option it’s a necessity. Great video❤❤

Angie please watch The Honest Channels series Rebuilding Mom and Dad. A couple in their '80s started slowly heavy lifting and I mean heavy and it's amazing. Their progress is quite miraculous. Highly recommend this series to everyone!!!

I'll be 72 this summer, I do 40 minutes High Impact Cardio (non-stop) in the mornings and 20 minutes Pilates in the evening....I do this every single day!

I follow Lift with Cee on you tube and do a 20 minute full body everyday, best decision ever.

Angie, you are such a refreshingly sincere human being always exhibiting optimism, integrity and realism with your well-researched guidance. I am so happy that I found you over a decade ago. You have changed my life and are such an inspiration to so many women!

At 63, I’m convinced a trip to Costco should count as exercise—after hauling everything to the car and then into the house, I was so worn out I had to go lie down and take a nap!🤣

Thanks Angie! so helpful to have someone show their fails and getting back on track seems like there has been a lifetime of that!

The OG adage "some is better than none" really applies as we age. I think some is better than a lot, full stop. Do what fits harmoniously. Inner peace is the key.

Same thing happened to me during a stressful time in my life. I was going through divorce and menopause at the same time (last year) plus other stresses including not having a job nor health insurance. I got severely depressed so I didn't have the energy nor motivation to get to the gym. I continued to do a workout here and there but it wasn't enough and I gained 15 pounds (of pure fat) in a matter of months. The worst part was that I got cellulite for the first time in my life all over my body (arms, legs, tummy, back) and seeing myself in the mirror made me even more depressed. I didn't want to go out and be seen. What's more my HRT didn't seem to be working for me (my hormones are still not balanced to this day). But I finally got on antidepressants and hired a personal trainer to force me to workout hard 3 times a week. Its tough to pay for those things when you're unemployed but I figured if I don't have my mental and physical health it would be that much harder to get the rest of my life in order. It's only been a few weeks and I'm already seeing a difference. I've already increased my muscle mass a little bit. I know it's going to take a while to undo the damage done last year to my body but I'm determined to get back to where I was or even better. Thanks for sharing.

Working out is my job, it has changed my life and improved my bones. Aging is not for the weak of heart. It’s so hard to stay healthy, you have to stay on top of it all. Thank you for this video. We all listen to your advice! ❤
