40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

46, mom of 2. Works FT at an office, sitting most of the day (sigh) works out twice a week at OTF, once a week at power yoga and rest of the time at home doing elliptical and weights.
Looking to tone up, lose body fat rather than weight. Any advice?
I eat pretty healthy. 5.1, 116.
Thx💪🏻👍🏻

Progressive overload on the weights. Always be striving to add weight or reps or sets. What is your specific weight routine?

Good info on losing fat and gaining muscle in this thread. Ask these folks.

Hey y’all! AmyBeth here...44, mom of 5 and Grandma of 6!!! Started the gym in October of last year, and now that it’s become a good habit and I have gained strength and a routine, I am focusing on my calories better to see the scale number go down.

When at OTF, I use 12 lbs and more. At home, 10 lb dumbbells and 15 lbs kettlebell.

I checked out the thread but I don’t understand?😅 I need to study this!
I need help😬

Will send you a PM so as not to derail this thread.

22 minute hard corps cold start!
Brute Force Operator Series Alpha 17! 55#. Did the runs outside again. It’s pretty warm out, but raining a bit. Good thing I don’t mind a little rain.

Hi! I just hit the big 4-0 in February. My body has been falling apart for years though. Bad knees and lower back are my main issues. I've been on MFP for a long time. I was at my healthiest and fittest around age 36. Got down do a size and fitness level I was happy with, then the back decided to start giving me problems. Then I had to have knee surgery for loose cartilage and arthritis. I've let myself go for a couple of years now and hate it. Trying to find workouts that don't irritate the discs in my lower back or my knees has been difficult. I'm ready to get back to it. I miss the feeling of being healthy and fit! Any suggestions on low impact workouts would be great.

I loved running and HIIT. Hate weight lifting as it does nothing for me to relieve stress. I like yoga/pilates. Feels good, but doesn't relieve stress for me. Trying to find my happy place again!

The bike is good for knees
