My Diet & Exercise Routines | Healthy Over 50!

I always get requests to update My Diet & Exercise Routines when I post a new Lookbook (summer especially) and I’m happy to do it but I also feel like a broken record saying the same things year in and year out!

I’m so boring, I’ve been eating and working out the same way for 25 years now and it works for me because it’s easy and I don’t have to think about it, I just do it. If you’re new to my blog, this post will fill you in on why I eat and exercise like I do (heart and bone health, anti-aging, living an active lifestyle, being the best me at any age), and if you’re familiar with my routines it’ll update you on any changes.

I encourage you to check out my full “What I Eat In A Day” video and my “Workout” videos linked below this video!

Hi Angie.

First – You’re an absolute legend.

Second – I’ve been suffering form premature ovarian failure since I turned 37 (undiagnosed until 39, so pretty advanced into good old menopause, now that I’m 40), and I have been OVERFLOWING with questions – many of which I’ve already found answers to here, so thank you!

My question for you now is – as we’re both pretty into our fitness (I am a barre instructor in the evenings, so exercise at least 9 or 10 x per week) – one of the things I have really been struggling with is sagging skin on my things and knees. Or not even sagging, really, just…dimpled and not that firm. Have you struggled at all/found any solutions to this? It’s not for lack of muscle; I’m pretty muscular and fit. It’s just bad skin quality, I guess (?), courtesy of good old (premature) ageing. UGH.

Anyway. Any thoughts or advice gratefully received. Including those involving needles and/or scalpels! #desperatetimes #yayscience #gettingoldsucks 😉

Thanks in advance (and in retrospect?),

Hillary

  Hi Hilary~ Sorry to hear about your premature menopause situation. It really is shocking how our body skin gives up it’s elasticity… I know people do have their whole bodies treated with lasers like Fraxel or CO2 and also have areas lifted or have fat pockets dissolved with Kybella. The only topical that helps is glycolic acid body lotion. My fave is Alpha Skincare Renewal 12% Glycolic acid Lotion. You can find it in my Amazon shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/hotandflashy xo ~angie

Hey, Angie! I have been looking through videos and on your blog. I feel like you recently mentioned what vitamins you currently take, but I can’t find it anywhere. Am I wrong that you posted something about vitamins?

Angie,
You are an inspiration, and speak the truth, that eating well and working out are about health and wellness first. I also have worked out to DVDs at home forever. My favorites for the last 5+ years are Ballet Beautiful and Gentle Yoga by Ann Grimes. I mix and match the workouts, and find the yoga invaluable to my sleep health.

I second the beauty of habit, also. I eat the same breakfast, and rotation of lunches and dinners. I am 58, and have maintained my weight and fitness for most of my adult life.

Thanks for all you do!
Lisa

Thank you! I’m going to give those ab exercises a go. It does seem like not only do you eat well, but you really limit your calories. To me, it looks like 1200 or so a day. I eat fairly well, not quite as clean as you, but I feel I have that extra 10 lbs. and although slim, I don’t feel lean enough.

I try to stay at 1500, but during the summer weekends it seems tougher and I eat more. I’m going to start salads for lunch instead of sandwiches or wraps and just call on that old willpower for help.

This post really did give me motivation!

  Hi Lulu~ I really don’t count calories so I have no idea how many I take in a day… I think eating less bread definitely helps with the mid-section. So happy you found the post motivating!! xo ~angie

Angie,

You are the best! Thanks for your inspiration. I will be 71 this month and still weigh under 120. However, I do have to agree with you that my body is changing despite my same weight. Keeping the “devil from the door” is becoming more challenging but I am giving it my best shot!
