This video of 4 Over 60 Women on BodyBuilding for Health, Fitness, Life gives you the video version of a recent Flipping 50 podcast interview. If you think you're too old, think it takes too much time, or it's not something you can fit into family or travel life, you'll love this.

Whether you want to compete or just look and feel your best after 50 or 60 or 70, and find a community of women who don't want to settle, you'll love this. I asked: how they got started What they eat in a day how much time it takes to be a figure competitor and so much more.

I joined a body building competition among the different branches of my gym where i am a member. I was 60 yoand the other 23 candidates were in their 20s and 30s but that made it more challenging for me. I trained for 8 months with a personal trainerin the gym who is also my personal trainer everytime I go to thegym. Ialso had a dietician who knows how food will transform your body. I didnt think of winning. I just told myself to enjoy the experience. Anyway I won! And i was in the national papers of my gym’s half page ad for a year in a bikini with the caption STRONG AND SEXY AT 60 ! During my training I trained 5 days a week. By the way I only started going to the gym when I was 50 because I had sciatica and my dr told me to hit the gym and get a personal trainer and tell him I need to strengthen my legs, my core and my back because they hold the spine. That started my journey with working out and with the results like a lean and toned body I got addicted to working out!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Love ❤️ this!!!
Congratulations Bel ... you go!!!
Congrats, yes working out is an addiction for me as well. In my 30s I had a trainer now in my 60s after not working out for years. Last July I had gained about 12 lbs (pandemic weight).
Hi! Love reading your story. I was wondering how your body changed in those 8 months? Did you put muscle on? And is so, how much muscle did you gain? I'm your age and want to know what's possible as far as gaining muscle in our 60's. Thanks you so much! Hope to hear back from you. And congrats!
@@wendym2544 yes I gained muscle all over my body. And because I never stopped strength training till now that I am 69, I still have a toned body. Also because i am also a pole dancer now at 69
Loved this show so much. I am 61 & I have been 🎉so unmotivated, almost depressed. I know I need to build some muscle, I dont want to be a frail ole woman.
Awesome podcast ! I have lost 45 pounds and now looking to build … which I would have never dreamed before xx❤
So inspirational. If you have these amazing ladies on another podcast, I would love to hear about the average financial cost of this sport - in terms of coaches, etc. and also how they got started.
You can do it all for free
I have Thyroid issues. So, I work-out at least 3 days a week, with a mix of cardio and weight lifting.
I am 57 and strength train in the gym. I am in the best shape ever but definitely won't compete. Great conversation ❤
This group and video is Fantabulous!!!! Such normal great advise from real mature women. I'm 70 and am wanting to start in strength training and walking. I have bronchitis now and as soon as I'm over this Your group of ladies have inspired me so much. Great valuable information. Thank you Debra and ladies.
Go you!!!
Great topic & cast ! I'm 56 and most articles will only deal with senior beginners programs.
When really gaining/keeping muscle is totally an issue when you've been strength training for decades.
I actually gained strengh , but volume is so hard to maintain, especially when the joints can't handle so much weight... knee osteo arthritis especially leaves me stuck with high reps. Would like some tricks to go around this...
I was a National bodybuilder long ago and did well. I am on zero pills, drugs, just healthy supplements. Though I do not compete, I eat clean and organic. I also love canine nutrition. My dogs are on zero kibble all raw and thriving like a high end athletes. Healthy together!
I’ve heard so many pups do better with raw!
@Flipping50TV yes because they eat species appropriately. Sadly it is the traditional vets who are only educated by Hills Science Diet and teach pet parents that a processed diet is the healthy way to go. Dogs lives are many years shorter due to dry feed in bags with synthetics. It is no different with people consuming high heat processed food with synthetics. People can at least speak when they feel sick. Dogs cannot, but a dog with allergies, skin, behavioral problems, as well as smelly stools are all signs of a bad gut. A holistic vet and raw diet is the only way to feed a healthy dog. Thanks for listening. 🥰🐾
I love working out! Thanks for this inspirational show. Im 65 and at about 60.someones car ran into ours. It broke my back so i need to work out with caution now. Its a bit of a juggle so i just dont over do it. But i started more serious workout after a bone loss test and i worked out rather than medicine, for stronger bones. Thanks for sharing ❤
You all have balance and grace! Love the inspiration and my workouts are gonna be better! I get afraid of getting too muscular but I see NO FEAR !
Great video! I learned so much. Beautiful ladies thank you for doing this! I would have loved to have seen Mrs. Ernestine Shepherd on this podcast as well. She is an 86 year old former bodybuilder. Love your channel! Thank you for all you do!❤Just subscribed 2 days ago!
at 62 workout to Chloe Ting video workouts. 50 min. early morning so sets my fay. Her videos are well balanced and she has challenges which keep me committed. 6x week..love it. Im also a yoga teacher which helps wind down the 50 min workout. Vegan nutrition for me.
I struggle struggle struggle with staying consistently in calories. (Age 59/172lbs/5’81/2); I w/o 4-5 times a week, track my food in MFP, but am constantly set back by unplanned social event or spontaneous family get together or just the habit of eating more. Ant tips on getting off the nutritional rollercoaster mentally or physically? (PS: I,m not much of a cook so when I do prep it’s a lot of the same and gets mentally fatiguing-but I WANT this!)
Consistency seems to be the most important part
You ladies give me hope that I can still do this!!
So glad I found your channel. I'm a former figure competitor struggling to get back to shape. I am on HRT and had a set back after my last show. Good information!
Glad you're back at it!
Very informative and inspiring to get to work out!! Thank you ladies.
Wonderful video, you ladies are all so inspiring!!!! Can you post links in the show notes so I follow these ladies online. ❤ thank you all x

I am going to watch this many more times. It’s a wonderful video. Thank you ❤
" I FOUND MY PEOPLE" AS WE ARE LOOKING SHE FOUND IT AT 70... STILL HAVE HOPE! TY
One of your best videos yet
Thank tou for hosting these amazing wonen. It is very inlighting how carbs aint the enemy (i eat carbs as they are a booster). Is it possiable to build mussle with home workouts with dumbels etc.
It is indeed, I started myself a couple of months ago, Debra has some great workouts that you can muscle build with. There are other channels, but I like this channel a lot as I find the workouts more appropriate for the way I would like to look. I currently do a combination of workouts when I can, but Debra’s arm exercises are my go to for arms. I also think she looks amazing. You can do this x
I am 66 and building muscles with dumbbells at home after 2 shoulder surgeries. It works!
Such a wonderful group! 🤩 Thank you for sharing your stories/habits/experiences.
Wonderful video!!!! Thank you very much!
I heard this interview on your podcast and absolutely loved it, it’s nice now to see them on the screen.
I just watched this again and these women are fabulous. You bring such a wealth of information to us views, Debra. Thank you. I just finished your new Arm routine and will do the legs tomorrow. Thanks again. Patty : ))
OMGGG this has been so AMAZING to watch. Thank you ladies!
This was so inspiring! Thanks to each of you for sharing 😊
HRT should also be discussed as not just testosterone for muscle but for health.
Night sweat, dry skin, bone health, brain health and more. It’s not taking steroids for muscle it’s creams mostly. It’s very beneficial for most. Not for all for various reasons. 😊
You’re correct!
Correct. Also considering that most hrt won’t be testosterone but estrogen/progesteron.
For those o f us who can’t tolerate dairy, a great source of plant-based protein powder is rice protein. It has been found to offer the same benefits as whey protein in terms of muscle gains and recovery.
A bit high in carbs, and potentially high in arsenic. 3rd party testing is good way to know. I prefer and recommend pea protein
So interesting and inspiring.
I maxed out the volume on my computer. I added a separate speaker. You have a professional microphone/equipment yet I could barely hear your intro before your guests arrived. Thank goodness I didn't turn this off before your guests arrived. Finally your audio improved.
Really enjoyed this!
Excellent! Thank you
Cute story about your six-year old grandson!
I am also Mimi!💙🩵

Inspiring show thank you👌👌
Inspirational and informative - thank you
That was awesome. Cool women!
I am 48 and I would like to do a body building body transformation compétition for my 50. Do you have reference for compétition.
I just discover your Channel! So interesting.

Loved this video. Would love to follow these amazing women on social media, is it possible to share their social media details?

Question about HRT… the women were talking about testosterone but I thought HRT was estrogen and progesterone? Also what are they being told by their doctors about the breast cancer risk? Thank you so much!
The risk is much more rare … the statement was a major wrong and retracted by WHO. Hey the full facts because many wo
Em with breast cancer can use HRT. Synthetics were an issue and still are. It is ALL the sex hormones- yes.
Awsome!!
I’m curious to hear if they gained belly fat early in menopause or even peri- menopause? If so, how did they lose it?
What are the thoughts of intermittent fasting? I'm not a competitive body builder but instead a 60 year old artistic/figure skater on roller skates which also involves strength training among other types of training. Enjoyed the info. I go for clean eating and no supplements except for Spirulina capsules.
I suggest for all students and clients (with the exception of someone with adrenal fatigue) a minimum of 12 hours overnight and 3 meals no snacks. That's a start for MANY people that will be gamechanging. Extending to 14, 15 or 17 hours ocassionally but never same thing every day, can help maintain metabolic flexibility for someone not seeing optimal results from what they're doing. For women, I suggest never exercising fasted, always during fed window and starting the eating window in the morning so that cortisol is not a runaway train for you that ends up breaking down muscle. The biggest benefit of IF is the gut reset and the benefits if you re-feed as you should with high protein to stop muscle breakdown.
Great video, but if you asked how they got started I didn't catch it. I wonder whether they started when they were young or 'old.'
2000 calories whole food is not really a lot, though. 1200 is starving. Liked the lady who mentioned she doesn't want to be too small outside the competition.
Exactly! And shutting down metabolism
SOLID!!!🎉❤🎉
I wandering how I could body build with bad knees now. I worked out from my mid twenties to fifties but stoped for the last 15 years. I’m back to the gym for the last 10 days and I have lots to work on now that I am 68. What would you suggest?
Do you know why they're "bad"? Is it lack of cartilage or something else?
Hey all, first-time listener and former amateur bodybuilder 30 years ago (stopped due to injuries, grad school, divorce, and relocation). Would like to get back on stage one more time before I exit this planet. Have had a rotator cuff repair on one shoulder 30 years ago and am desperate to avoid the same surgery on the other shoulder (full-thickness cuff tear) that has reared its ugly head since I've been back in the gym hitting the weights regularly for the last 5-6 months. Any thoughts on how to work around the need to lift heavy to hypertrophy yet not completely blow out my remaining shoulder? And I've tried the 'let it rest until it heals' route so need some other answer. My gut tells me the answer is surgery but at 60-something, the outcomes aren't guaranteed and I have to work several more years so I need a fully functioning right arm...thanks in advance.
Ugh. I hear you… and gave you got the mri image to know where you are? Tried stem cell ? IF surgery… I’ve got to believe technology in surgery is better now than 30 yrs ago. You’re wiser with nutrition(and mindset) now than then…
Great video! What are all these women’s names please? I’d like to watch their channels as well! Knowledge is power! 😁
Hi! All podcasts are published in show notes at www.flippingfifty.com/podcast and you'll be able to search there for those!
Just curious as far as taking canned Tuna along, is that something you don’t advise? It’s usually what is easiest for me to bring along at least 2 days a week for protein at lunch.
I suggest for myself too - I know it's easy... but it's high in mercury. Even "safe" tuna is high in mercury. Canned salmon is much safer. I'd do that in rotation at least.
@@Flipping50TV Thank you!
Not to sound like an alarmist but I used HRT most years between ages 40- 62 and was diagnosed with breast cancer. The HRT that I used in the last 10 years or so was a topical compounded estrogen/testosterone. Each individual needs to discuss HRT in detail with their physician. I can’t say for sure that it was the HRT, but I don’t have any direct family members that have had breast cancer diagnosis.
Can someone please let me know the women's full names so I can search for their social media pages? I could only find 2 of them so I am not sure if I am spelling their names correctly. Thank you.
