  • www.flippingfi... for all Flipping 50 podcasts. These 4 bodybuilders over 60 share how they started, how much time it takes (and doesn't!) and how they eat in a day. We also talked about hormone replacement and exercise results.
    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. These women are changing the way we age, options around lifestyle choices and loving life. 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!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

    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...

    • @jannellmeagher638

      @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. 🥰🐾

    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. 😊

    What are the thoughts of intermittent fasting?

      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.

    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.

      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.
