This all-in-one 55-minute full body workout is designed specifically for women over 50 to build muscle strength, boost metabolism, improve heart health, and stay mobile and pain-free as you age. Suitable for beginners and seniors!
What’s Included:
– 30-Minute Full Body Strength Training (with dumbbells)
– 15-Minute Fat-Burning Walking Workout (Zone 2 cardio)
– 8-Minute Hip Mobility Stretch to improve flexibility and reduce stiffness
Why this workout matters:
After 50, women naturally lose muscle (sarcopenia), experience joint stiffness, and see a decline in bone density. This workout tackles all three areas in one powerful session: strength training to build muscle and support bone health, walking cardio for fat-burning and heart health, and hip mobility to improve flexibility and reduce pain.
Use this routine 2–3x/week to feel energized, confident, and strong in your body—no matter your age.
Q1: Should women over 50 lift weights?
A: Yes! Strength training is the #1 way to fight aging, maintain muscle, protect your bones, and support metabolism after menopause.
Q2: Is walking enough cardio after 50?
A: Yes, when done at the right intensity. This workout includes Zone 2 walking, which boosts fat burning and heart health without stressing the joints.
Q3: Why is hip mobility so important?
A: Tight hips can lead to back pain, poor posture, and difficulty with everyday movement. Just 8 minutes of targeted stretching can reverse years of tension and improve balance and coordination.
Q4: How often should I do strength workouts after 50?
A: Aim for at least 2–3 strength sessions per week. Consistent resistance training helps maintain lean muscle, manage weight, support joint health, and reduce your risk of osteoporosis.
Q5: What if I have joint pain or stiffness?
A: This workout includes a low-impact strength routine and hip mobility stretches to improve flexibility and reduce stiffness—perfect for sore knees, hips, or back. Always start slow, use light weights, and modify movements if needed.

The video tips for long hair for women over 50, was just Great! I’m 77, have long blondec, layered hair and I love it! I have low- light and high-lights, and a side bang, and I get many compliments on my look!!!
Shoulder length. I love my hair long and want it longer—I like tying it up if I am working so it stays out of my face— I let my hair go grey and it feels more luxurious without color—but will be doing something to add drama and a statement with tones.
I’m 57 and I wore my hair in a shag cut for years. I have a rather square jaw on my shortish face, my hair is fine, thin and straight- although sense menopause it has developed a pleasing wave! Recently cut it to chin length with layers and I love it! Also I get low lights and blonde highlights – this makes it appear more voluminous. And what you said about texture makes perfect sense!
Love your hair video I am going to try some of the ideas for short/long hair I have very fine shoulder length hair
Schellea,
You are such an inspiration. I am 58. Find your workouts so rewarding. I’m not losing weight but feel much stronger. Yout hair tips are great. Your positive yet straightforward words are awesome. I struggle with hair color. Part of mine is gray, but my hair will only look dishwater. I will put in light blondes next time as i think we have the same gray resistance.
Thank you for this wonderful talk! I am 69yrs , 5ft1inch, and I weigh 120. I let my dark hair go grey (white) during Covid, and it sits just above my chest. It is fine but a beautiful color and shiny. I have been thinking I was to old to wear my hair long and loose, but I do get a lot of compliments. I miss my highlights and playing with color, but I dont want to go to the salon every 4-5 weeks! Your video helped me realize that I dont have to get the “old woman” cut. (Although I am quite a bit older then you). I watch all your videos and always find something useful. Thank you, Dins
The video for “Is It Okay To Have Long Hair After 50,” will not load.☹️ I SO need to watch it.???? I’m not having trouble with any others.
Thank you for looking into this matter.
You’re the BEST ❣️
Hi Barbara! Not sure why it won’t load for you. Here is link to see it on YouTube.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT0a37nQ79I Have a beautiful day.
Hi I am 51 growing my hair it is now on my shoulders. Thank you for your amazing tips looking forward to trying your exercises.
Hi, loved the video! Just an FYI along with the aging part of us also I find my hair is so rough to touch and breakable! It feels course and even with conditioner each time I shower it is still not very smooth to the touch.
Just a suggestion, but would love to have tips on keeping hair smooth to the touch instead of like feeling sandpaper lol!
A deep conditioner from a hairdresser really helped the one time I tried it but was rather expensive to keep doing every month.
Love all your tips
Wow that is alot to digest! im fifty four & over the last three years have grown my hair the longest it has ever been! Unfortunately its extremely dry & frizzy but I love it long & feel very feminine with it so long! thankyou for the ideas as you have obviously thoroughly researched this!
I loved your talk on long hair! I’m 70 ,red hair ,and long hair. I wear it up most of the time. I don’t care what people say, its me!
Go you Brenda! Stay fabulous! ❤️????
