I am 65 years old, prediabetic and high blood pressure. I cut out all breads, pasta, rice, sugar, salt and I eat clean natural foods. For exercise, I workout on my rebounder (so much fun) and take 30 minute walks. My journey started Sept. 1, 2024 and in one month I lost 25 pounds. I have 70 pounds to go. I'm more energetic, I get better sleep, my blood sugars are going down, and my blood pressure is coming down slowly. I have a ways to go, and I'm so motivated to be healthy as when I was in my 20's.
That's amazing!!! SO many people (my husband included) could get off a lot of their medicines by making the lifestyle changes you're making. I'm proud of you! But don't cut salt out completely. We need it! Maybe once you get your BP sorted out, you can add it back in.
I stopped eating after dinner and before bed. I also work out a ton, lifting weights and some tough ab work and cardio dance. I walk my 70# lab a mile everyday. I am 73 and benching 75#. It’s working and I have become addicted to the work. I have used personal trainers and have lost 30 lbs in the last year. I also eat a lot of protein. Still have some belly to part with,but it’s on his way out! I have been doing this for 9 years, increasing my work every year. I feel better than I have in years.
I have eaten low carb the past 18 months, lost 55 pounds and have maintained my weight since. It is really pretty simple, no sugar - no processed. At 60 years old my belly is flatter than it has been in 30 years. My bloodwork #’s have also improved and I no longer take any medications. It is the craziest thing. Who would have thought eating properly would make such a difference. Good luck with journey ❤
I just love you!!! I am new to all of this online influencers. I love the way you advise and I feel like you are the “real deal”. I am newly retired and want to take care of myself and have this be the best year for health both physical and mental. Thank you for all you do!
If your not a fan of eggs like me. You can add fresh spinach and red onion or any other vegetables you like to the egg scramble. It’s a texture thing for me and adding veggies makes it more palatable, since I’m not a fan of eggs.
Thanks for the tip.. I am not a fan of eggs, just start to be able to eat them again as i was allergic to them... will still do hard boiled eggs a few x/week as they seem to be ok for digestion for me.. But really like her advices... hope it works....!!
Totally doable! My problem is trying to get enough protien - I get too full! Also, I wanted to mention your standing exercises are GREAT for helping with balance, something we all need over 50 to work on.
Eat your protein first then other foods. You might track your food and see if your getting enough fat. Or add apple cider vinegar 1T in cup of water to avoid damaging your enamel on your teeth.
Great video! Encouraging too! I have lost 32 pounds since 6/4, and have another 20 to go, walking helps tremendously, but the pooch belly is not shrinking quickly enough. I am going to add these exercises. Yes- clean eating is key. And drinking water!
I am 65 I found that fasting was actually what allowed me to be thin all my life. Yes at 65 I have gone through body changes so now I eat 2 meals a day with main meal around 1 or 2. No snacks which I never really did before so that was easy. I walk everyday and exercise
I'm 63 and this past summer I got real serious about my health. I fasted 3 days a week, drunk water religiously, ate better, walked for miles 2 x a day. and all this has saved my life.
Serena, thank you for sharing. I turned 50 last year and now I’m going through perimenopause and dealing with body changes and weight gain. I love that the exercises are simple and easy to do at home. I am saving this video and going to use these tips.
I’m a 56 year old mother of 3 daughters and grandma of 4 and diabetic with high blood pressure. I started working out and changed my eating habits on march 2nd and so far I’m down 27 lbs and have 100 lbs to go!! I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired!! I started doing chair exorcises for 30 minutes a day, I have gotten stronger and feel so much better but I definitely need to start doing more!! Thanks for your encouraging video!! I’m going to start working out standing up!!
I’ve been watching this gentleman and I like his videos, it’s been working out for me since I wasn’t able to move too much when I started because I have severe arthritis in my knees but I’m doing so much better now!! ua-cam.com/video/Crczoow45uM/v-deo.htmlsi=AJBh7p8PB0Bdt9bT
I retired and we moved to a different city. I lost my walking buddies, the area where we now live has no sidewalks and has high traffic, so I don’t feel comfortable walking here. My parents began to have health problems, and I have spent a lot of time with them, which involved sitting in an adult living facility and hospitals (plus the six-hour drive to their home.) When my father passed away, I went into a funk and sat a lot. It was the perfect storm to put on weight. I’m tired of this but need some guidance. I’m excited about your timely video.
Serena I so needed to hear this today. I recently had some blood work done and it wasn't good. I have already changed what I am eating, no bagels, pasta, bread and such. I think you are so on point. I will start to incorporate your exercises; thank you!
I love this kind of video! I live in Paraguay where we eat much better with real foods. Ive been in the US for 6 weeks and traveling, O My! I feel so tired, almost nauseated at the end of each day. I can’t wait to get back to eating better.
Thank you Serena. You look great! I have been working out for over a year. I belong to the Y. I’m 73 and I feel great! I have lost almost 20 pounds eating more protein, fasting twice a week, no food after 6:30pm and going to the gym doing Zumba and Silver Sneakers 3 to 4 times a week.
I’m 58 -5 ft 1/2 and now 119. All summer - Low carbs, very little sugar and limited processed clean food, brisk walk an hour a day or more- I started at 40 minutes to 8k steps then increased to 10k steps. Limited eating between 7pm to 11:00 am. I then incorporated hand weights at home. On my walks I alternate days and include 3x10 reps using park bench for seated tricep dips and angled push ups using back of the bench. On other days on my walk I do 3x 50 reps each of 3-4 various shoulder and arm movements while walking and knee ups for abs while walking, sometimes walking lunges. I lost 13 pounds and went from 36d to 34c cup, lost my bloat so from size 8 to a 4. Went from 132 to 119! I cheat on weekends when I go out- and I feel great!
Thank you for putting these exercises together and sharing it online. Been doing it for over a month now and I repeat it two times each time I exercise. I lost 4 lbs. already and I will continue to do so until I reach my goal.
I loved this video! I 65 and have a pooch belly even though I intermittent fast. I'm relatively thin everywhere else and have been veru frustrated! I plan to up my protein and cut the white stuff as suggested to see how it goes. Thanks for keeping it real Serena!!
Okay I just did your recommended workout exercises and I have to tell you that these are just what I needed. Thank you again for your videos and for giving us something different that is really important for us. ❤🙏 This sets You apart from everyone else on UA-cam!!! 🥰
I am 61 and lost 6 kg's in 1 month. I was not on a diet, I only ate when was hungry. Breakfast is not my thing but I had a cucumber smoothy with chia seeds, honey and ginger. At lunch I had a salad and chicken wrap / tortilla. For dinner I had a protein with lots of vegetables and even half a cup of rice. In essence: cut the carbs, do intermitting fasting 16/8; drink a lot of water with apple cider vinegar and lemon juice and cycle or swim for at least an 30 minutes. Very easy with no cravings. Good luck.🎉
Just turned 60 and I am bound and determined to get this extra weight off! This was perfect and so appreciate the references to the other instagramers. Thanks!
Such a great video Serena! I just turned 49 and really feel a dramatic change in my body over the last 6 months, it's getting harder to keep the belly fat away. You offered great tips that can easily be implemented. Protein and weights is crucial!
I am a 77 almost 78 year old female who needed to lose a few pounds so I started doing Keto and lost my stubborn 10 pounds which put me back in my normal weight range. I also lost my belly fat which makes me very happy, I walk every day for 30 minutes, ride my incumbent bike and climb up to the 3rd floor every day. I eat 90 grams of protein every day which is not hard to do and I only eat 2 meals a day, fasting at least 17 to 18 hours, my last meal is at 6 pm and nothing after that until the next day at lunch time. I eat full fat everything, different types of meat, fish, dairy, eggs, bacon and some vegetables with some berries and nuts once in a while. I have not consumed any sugar in 3 months and don’t miss it at all, my skin has tightened up and has lost its crepe looking (which will happen when you age) my protein intake of 90 g solved that problem. Also my A1c is at 4.6 with my blood glucose being in the 80es, I also was able to ditch my blood pressure medication, yay! Climbing 60 stairs every day and all the other stuff I do for exercise is plenty for me and is keeping me in great shape for my age.
Very inspiring serena!!! I have lost over 100 lbs in the past few years, but have to deal with the bulges! No doubt that protein fuels and keeps us filled up!
Great, motivational video. Started a calorie deficit, high protein way of eating a few months ago and have been amazed at the results. Now I plan on adding your exercises. Thank you, Serena!
So happy this video showed up on my feed! I've been living the ketogenic lifestyle since June 2019, yet my body is changing & exercise is the key. These are great options for us. ❤
Hi 👋🏽 Serena! I just came across your channel. I love you already! I turned 60 in August and I’m on a weight loss journey. I’m currently down 82+ pounds. I love Dr. James as well. Thank you for sharing ❤ I’ve definitely subscribed and can’t wait to watch every thing on your channel ❤
LOVE THIS, Serena!! Please keep this up!! I watch you all the time!! You really inspired me today!! I ran in and told my husband that we are changing our lifestyle!! Thank you!!!
Once i hit menopause I started gaining weight and none of my clothes fit. I was so discouraged and felt like a slug. I started working with a personal trainer virtually and he does all of this! I've lost weight, toned up and my energy is back. He tells me exactly what to do at the gym (exercises, reps, sets). The best part is no cardio 😂. Lots of walking but no cardio. I had no idea how much protein i actually needed. I love that you're able to share your success on a large platform to give these suggestions to help people who are going through the same thing.
@@StylewithSerena I should say no hardcore cardio like running! I had it in my head that I had to do workouts where I worked myself to death and had to sweat buckets in order to lose weight. I'm so happy that's not the case at all!
Hi Serena, I have been dedicated to going to the health club for decades. I go 5 times per week and enjoy outdoor activities too in the warmer weather. I worked a lot on my arms and it paid off. Lost my waistline as I got older. I saw your exercises on reducing belly fat and decided to incorporate your exercises to hopefully lessen my belly from sticking out and like you said, it'll help the clothes fit more comfortably. Thanks for the video and inspiration.
Love your video! I just got done doing the Daniel fast with our church and I felt SO much better I decided to try to keep eating that way. I did modify it to include meat because at 68 I need that protein, but I agree with you, getting rid of the processed food is a must!!! And getting out and at least walk a little 😊 again great video!
You have totally inspired me to try these exercises. Thank you for helping those of us over menopause. I have learned a lot through podcasts and your channels.
I immediately went to this site when I saw it because I completely trust you to not be scamming us. I knew about the low carb part though I’ve slacked off it in the last few years. This gives me motivation to start again. But it’s the exercises that were totally new to me. Some looked really hard for me but I’m going to take your advice and just do what I can. Thank you, thank you Serena! I’d love to see this type of video on a little regular basis.
Serena, are you still doing Intermittent Fasting along with this new eating plan and exercising? You look great! I am a newbie as I just discovered your channel and I so far love your content after binge watching for 2 hours!😄📺😅
Not strictly, no. But I don't eat on a set schedule. I eat when I'm hungry. Some days I'm hungry at 8:00 AM. Sometimes I'm not hungry til 11 or 12. I listen to my body.
❤ thank you for the tummy exercises and the helpful reminder to eat more protein. I will look up this doctor to get some more tips. Thank you so much. I worked out pretty much all my life but recently had a auto accident that messed me up for a while with bulging disc in the neck. I believe I can do most of these exercises so thank you very much. They look really awesome and tried them while I was watching the video. I hope you will do more of these type of exercises and diet chips that you receive. I’ve been following you for a couple months now and really enjoy your videos. Happy holidays!🤶 i’ve also followed some of your styling tips and purchased from vendors. I had never purchased from before and so happy with my new J.Crew jeans and thanks for turning me onto them. I got them on sale on Black Friday so that was even better ;all of us love a sale
Great video! I know for sure low or no carb diets melts the fat right off. But for me, it is not-sustainable. I enjoy potatoes, pasta and rice and I do want them to be in my life to a degree. But I appreciate the exercises you shared and will give it a go. Thank you!
If you listened to my video, I said I am following this 90% of the time, which leaves opportunity for those things I crave. That way I don't feel deprived. I can't follow super strict "diets" either. This plan is sustainable for me. I still eat pizza on Friday night with my family, a small piece of chocolate here & there, etc.
You have become one of my favorites on UA-cam. You are so real and down to earth. I love your fashion videos, and I’m loving the fitness ones also. It’s very uplifting. Thank you so much!!
I just subscribed because of this video. My tummy is my problem area also. And I just bought weights a month ago and a rebounder last week during Amazon prime days. I'm ready for good exercises that are easy for beginners. You show and explain very clearly how to do each exercise. I'm grateful to discover your channel and looking forward to this series along with your other content. Thank you so very much ! Have a blessed day. 😊
Thank you for your honest and helpful video. I have lost 28 pounds over the last 9 months and now I am having difficulty maintaining my weight. I know that I need to refresh my eating lifestyle and start weight lifting and walking. You have been motivating.
Hi Serena, I’m so glad that you put out a video like this! I eat salads and fruit but I know I’m not getting enough protein which is bad. My energy runs out. I can see how the exercises you shared could really help too! Thanks so much!
Loved this video Serena! Please do create more occasionally. I started "high protein, low carb" dieting about 45 years ago, and followed it when needed. Let me assure everyone that it works! I didn't count calories, I counted carb grams. Anyway, your exercise demo is exactly what I need at the moment! I'm 72 and need to focus on strength. Thank you so much ❤
Thank you, Serena! Protein is my biggest challenge because I detest meat for the most part, but I will check out those pages you highlighted and take your advice. Currently on Day 4 of no flour, sugar or weekend night alcohol. Don’t have much to lose but sick of this menopausal body that, as you said, hit overnight when I turned 60, 2 years ago. I’m done with it! 😊
Love it! You inspired me to get back to it after enjoying a vacation/break. This is exactly what I needed to jump start me with the high protein, low carb eating plan and the workout routines. Thanks! I will be following your progress!
I started following the same doctor a couple of weeks ago and I've lost 2 kilos but more importantly my belly has really gone down Cutting down on bread really seems to work for me Thanks for sharing X
Awesome motivational video! I was looking for exercises to rid my belly fat! Im also trying not eat crap I noticed processed food and too much bread makes me feel gross! Look forward to more of your videos! ❤
Serena, great video!! Love the diet, food and fitness tips..but you have really toned the tummy so well…and given me inspiration, to move more and do some exercises..thank you! (Walk 5000-6000 steps a day!)
Thank you for sharing your diet and workout tips. Would love to know what stretching exercises, before and after, you’d recommend. Thanks again for sharing what you have been finding helpful for you.
Thank you!!! Just so happened to have come across your channel and immediately subscribed!!! Lord knows I need this!!! Great information for those of us that are menopausal. We need this info prior to going through this crazy time in our lives!!! 😊
Hello Serena, I have been trying to lose my belly fat and this sure sounds like a great way to do it. Thank you for all tips and exercise ideas. Sounds great and hopefully this will really help me with this belly fat. Thank you! Connie
Hi Serena, I’m a new subscriber after viewing this video so please make more like this. Currently I’m swimming 2x a week and taking 2 Pilates classes a week but I need to do more and I definitely need to change my diet. Meal inspiration and weight bearing exercises are requested so I can lose that menopausal belly before my daughter’s wedding next summer.
Great job Serena! I am in PT for my back right now as hurt when trying to lift Harley our boxer when he was sick up from the floor when his legs got weak. He tried to help me but sometimes it got intense. Each time it got almost well i pulled it again until I finally went to the doctor. Some of the exercises were too intense on the mat for my back too. So dropped out for now till I get well but still a member. We did the leg march with abs and arms overhead too. Now I have PT exercises to do. ha! Be careful and ease up slowly on the weights. You are slimming up - doing the happy dance for you!
Thank you for all this dietary guidance and the exercises. I appreciate you sharing the 2 followers on UA-cam , I will check them out! You are looking great!
I exercise enough and in the correct ways, but I need work on my diet. Have people in my home that don’t eat the way they need to, and the way I need to. So, the lack of support makes it difficult, not impossible, but difficult. I’ll keep working towards it because the alternative is not an option. Thanks for your video. I loved it!!
@@terrifuentes4323 Terri, I understand completely. I get derailed by those around me so easily. My husband & son are very picky eaters and not interested in eating the way I want to.
Hi ! I live in Southwest Georgia. Hurricane Helena is expected in this area, in about an hour. Your wonderful video gave me something positive to focus on, while I wait on Helena to pass through. I also sent it to friends who are awake and waiting on tne storm. You are ALWAYS so inspirational and fun ! Thank you a thousand times for all of your wonderful videos!

That's amazing!!! SO many people (my husband included) could get off a lot of their medicines by making the lifestyle changes you're making. I'm proud of you! But don't cut salt out completely. We need it! Maybe once you get your BP sorted out, you can add it back in.
@@StylewithSerena That's the plan. I might start with a little Celtic salt once I get all my numbers in a better zone.
Omg that's my entire weight loss goal! 25 pounds. Sounds like an amazing achievement
Lewis Bake Shop Keto bread is freaking AWESOME!! It’s like regular bread but only net 2g per slice
Great video. It’s so nice to see from a real person who is not trying to sell you something and just truly cares❤❤❤❤❤

Oh my God you are fantastic. Where do you get the energy I'm 61.i but it's hard. Well done you go girl😊
WOW....Damn I’m 58 and I haven’t been able to get through the first line I stopped at the cardio dance 🤣🤣🤣

Yay!!🎉🎉
That is good to know. I am 62 and feel like nothing is working. I can't eat eggs so protein choices can be hard at times.
So proud of you! You gave me hope!
What are you eating?
Congratulations just starting my journey.

The diet you are following I started 2 and a half years ago and in 9 months I lost 64 pounds and have kept it off. I feel great.
Thank you for being so authentic! I really appreciate your honest approach to both diet and exercise! You are very encouraging!
If your not a fan of eggs like me. You can add fresh spinach and red onion or any other vegetables you like to the egg scramble. It’s a texture thing for me and adding veggies makes it more palatable, since I’m not a fan of eggs.
I love spinach and onions in eggs! And you get in some veggies!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tip.. I am not a fan of eggs, just start to be able to eat them again as i was allergic to them... will still do hard boiled eggs a few x/week as they seem to be ok for digestion for me..
But really like her advices... hope it works....!!
Why would you add oxalates?
I loved spinach but had to stop eating oxalates because of oxalate build up in my joints and pain.
Yes please do more of these videos! There is no gym where i live so your videos are very helpful and encouraging
Totally doable! My problem is trying to get enough protien - I get too full! Also, I wanted to mention your standing exercises are GREAT for helping with balance, something we all need over 50 to work on.
Absolutely! You may be wobbly at first but as you get stronger, your balance will prove as well.
High protein constipates me. What do I eat for fiber?
@@DelusionDispeller salad greens, green vegetables, fruit, etc
Eat your protein first then other foods. You might track your food and see if your getting enough fat. Or add apple cider vinegar 1T in cup of water to avoid damaging your enamel on your teeth.

Also my A1c is at 4.6 with my blood glucose being in the 80es, I also was able to ditch my blood pressure medication, yay! Climbing 60 stairs every day and all the other stuff I do for exercise is plenty for me and is keeping me in great shape for my age.
You're doing awesome!!!
@@StylewithSerena Thank you for you video, Serena! Would you mind sharing your age?

Will try this. Have picked up 10 lbs since Christmas
Very inspiring serena!!! I have lost over 100 lbs in the past few years, but have to deal with the bulges! No doubt that protein fuels and keeps us filled up!
@@mollyswanner1607 congrats on your weight loss!
Great, motivational video. Started a calorie deficit, high protein way of eating a few months ago and have been amazed at the results. Now I plan on adding your exercises. Thank you, Serena!
Keep it up
Your form is surprisingly good for a fashion blogger. I didn’t know what to expect from this video. Keep up the good work. ❤
My form is good because I have worked out my whole life.
Another great workout video! Thanks! I’m loving these. Just what I need.❤
So happy this video showed up on my feed! I've been living the ketogenic lifestyle since June 2019, yet my body is changing & exercise is the key. These are great options for us. ❤
Hi 👋🏽 Serena! I just came across your channel. I love you already! I turned 60 in August and I’m on a weight loss journey. I’m currently down 82+ pounds. I love Dr. James as well. Thank you for sharing ❤ I’ve definitely subscribed and can’t wait to watch every thing on your channel ❤
@@AlexisMilner welcome!
LOVE THIS, Serena!! Please keep this up!! I watch you all the time!! You really inspired me today!! I ran in and told my husband that we are changing our lifestyle!! Thank you!!!
Once i hit menopause I started gaining weight and none of my clothes fit. I was so discouraged and felt like a slug. I started working with a personal trainer virtually and he does all of this! I've lost weight, toned up and my energy is back. He tells me exactly what to do at the gym (exercises, reps, sets). The best part is no cardio 😂. Lots of walking but no cardio. I had no idea how much protein i actually needed. I love that you're able to share your success on a large platform to give these suggestions to help people who are going through the same thing.
Walking IS cardio!
@@StylewithSerena I should say no hardcore cardio like running! I had it in my head that I had to do workouts where I worked myself to death and had to sweat buckets in order to lose weight. I'm so happy that's not the case at all!
Hi Serena, I have been dedicated to going to the health club for decades. I go 5 times per week and enjoy outdoor activities too in the warmer weather. I worked a lot on my arms and it paid off. Lost my waistline as I got older. I saw your exercises on reducing belly fat and decided to incorporate your exercises to hopefully lessen my belly from sticking out and like you said, it'll help the clothes fit more comfortably. Thanks for the video and inspiration.
Love your video! I just got done doing the Daniel fast with our church and I felt SO much better I decided to try to keep eating that way. I did modify it to include meat because at 68 I need that protein, but I agree with you, getting rid of the processed food is a must!!! And getting out and at least walk a little 😊 again great video!
You have totally inspired me to try these exercises. Thank you for helping those of us over menopause. I have learned a lot through podcasts and your channels.
Remember, you can't spot-reduce. And diet is 80% of it. The exercises alone won't work without some diet changes plus cardio.
I enjoyed your belly video and would like you to show more videos with eating well and workout content.
I immediately went to this site when I saw it because I completely trust you to not be scamming us. I knew about the low carb part though I’ve slacked off it in the last few years. This gives me motivation to start again. But it’s the exercises that were totally new to me. Some looked really hard for me but I’m going to take your advice and just do what I can. Thank you, thank you Serena! I’d love to see this type of video on a little regular basis.
Serena, are you still doing Intermittent Fasting along with this new eating plan and exercising? You look great! I am a newbie as I just discovered your channel and I so far love your content after binge watching for 2 hours!😄📺😅
Not strictly, no. But I don't eat on a set schedule. I eat when I'm hungry. Some days I'm hungry at 8:00 AM. Sometimes I'm not hungry til 11 or 12. I listen to my body.
Thanks so much for sharing these exercises with us! Do some of them, but will add the rest to my routine! Loved this video format.
❤ thank you for the tummy exercises and the helpful reminder to eat more protein. I will look up this doctor to get some more tips. Thank you so much. I worked out pretty much all my life but recently had a auto accident that messed me up for a while with bulging disc in the neck. I believe I can do most of these exercises so thank you very much. They look really awesome and tried them while I was watching the video. I hope you will do more of these type of exercises and diet chips that you receive. I’ve been following you for a couple months now and really enjoy your videos. Happy holidays!🤶
i’ve also followed some of your styling tips and purchased from vendors. I had never purchased from before and so happy with my new J.Crew jeans and thanks for turning me onto them. I got them on sale on Black Friday so that was even better ;all of us love a sale
@@jjmarchand360 so glad you're enjoying!
Love this video. I have been looking for something like this that is sustainable.
Thank you Serena! This is so so very helpful! The exercises don’t look hard to do and the sample menu looks delish as well! 😊
Great video! I know for sure low or no carb diets melts the fat right off. But for me, it is not-sustainable. I enjoy potatoes, pasta and rice and I do want them to be in my life to a degree. But I appreciate the exercises you shared and will give it a go. Thank you!
If you listened to my video, I said I am following this 90% of the time, which leaves opportunity for those things I crave. That way I don't feel deprived. I can't follow super strict "diets" either. This plan is sustainable for me. I still eat pizza on Friday night with my family, a small piece of chocolate here & there, etc.
Great idea to not feel deprived!!
You have become one of my favorites on UA-cam. You are so real and down to earth. I love your fashion videos, and I’m loving the fitness ones also. It’s very uplifting. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much!!
I just subscribed because of this video. My tummy is my problem area also. And I just bought weights a month ago and a rebounder last week during Amazon prime days. I'm ready for good exercises that are easy for beginners. You show and explain very clearly how to do each exercise. I'm grateful to discover your channel and looking forward to this series along with your other content. Thank you so very much ! Have a blessed day. 😊
Welcome & thank you!!!
Thank you for your honest and helpful video. I have lost 28 pounds over the last 9 months and now I am having difficulty maintaining my weight. I know that I need to refresh my eating lifestyle and start weight lifting and walking. You have been motivating.
Great video. Plan to start. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep it coming.
Finally, advice tailored for women my age-this is so helpful!
Great video Serena! Love these videos! Thanks for all you do to keep us stylin!😃
Hi Serena I know I dont eat enough protein. My problem is the lower belly and would love to get rid of it. Thanks for a great video. ❤❤❤❤
The marching exercise is great for lower belly!!!
I've followed him for years!!! I have a couple of his books. I've been in the keto/carnivore community for 6 years
Good tips Serena, thanks for the encouragement. Yes please keep adding them in!
Hi Serena, I’m so glad that you put out a video like this! I eat salads and fruit but I know I’m not getting enough protein which is bad. My energy runs out. I can see how the exercises you shared could really help too! Thanks so much!
Thank you for the help.
That belly fat is very hard to deal with.❤
Loved this video!! Yes please provide more exercise and diet content. This is so helpful ❤
Loved this video Serena! Please do create more occasionally. I started "high protein, low carb" dieting about 45 years ago, and followed it when needed. Let me assure everyone that it works! I didn't count calories, I counted carb grams. Anyway, your exercise demo is exactly what I need at the moment! I'm 72 and need to focus on strength. Thank you so much ❤
Thank you Serena! This is very helpful. It’s nice to hear from you your struggles and success!
Thank you, Serena! Protein is my biggest challenge because I detest meat for the most part, but I will check out those pages you highlighted and take your advice. Currently on Day 4 of no flour, sugar or weekend night alcohol. Don’t have much to lose but sick of this menopausal body that, as you said, hit overnight when I turned 60, 2 years ago. I’m done with it! 😊
Protein isn't only found in meat! Plain greek yogurt, cottage cheese, fish, salmon, shrimp, etc. are all great sources of protein!
Love it! You inspired me to get back to it after enjoying a vacation/break. This is exactly what I needed to jump start me with the high protein, low carb eating plan and the workout routines. Thanks! I will be following your progress!
Thank you so much. You are so encouraging. I love all your tips. Please continue to make these videos.
Thank you, I will
This is such a greet video Serena!! Thank you for an encouraging & informative video!
@@kristarandall34 glad it was helpful!

Loved this video! Thank you so much! This fitness journey is not an easy one but it is so worth it! Any help is much appreciated.

@@LakeOuachita more like 10,000!
Thank you for sharing your diet and workout tips. Would love to know what stretching exercises, before and after, you’d recommend. Thanks again for sharing what you have been finding helpful for you.
This is a great video. This is exactly the target areas I want to work on. Thanks so much Serena for the great information❤️
Thank you!!! Just so happened to have come across your channel and immediately subscribed!!! Lord knows I need this!!! Great information for those of us that are menopausal. We need this info prior to going through this crazy time in our lives!!! 😊
@@catherineprince5345 welcome!
Hello Serena, I have been trying to lose my belly fat and this sure sounds like a great way to do it. Thank you for all tips and exercise ideas. Sounds great and hopefully this will really help me with this belly fat. Thank you! Connie
@@connien7690 remember it's 80-% what you eat. And do some walking/jogging/swimming for cardio and then these ab exercises.
I'll definitely try this move! Thanks for the encouragement!
Thanks so much Serena!! You always inspire me! 🤗
Hi Serena, I’m a new subscriber after viewing this video so please make more like this. Currently I’m swimming 2x a week and taking 2 Pilates classes a week but I need to do more and I definitely need to change my diet. Meal inspiration and weight bearing exercises are requested so I can lose that menopausal belly before my daughter’s wedding next summer.
@@alisonpena4577 all the exercises in this video are for your belly!
Yay! Great job Serena!
Good, interesting info!
Great job Serena! I am in PT for my back right now as hurt when trying to lift Harley our boxer when he was sick up from the floor when his legs got weak. He tried to help me but sometimes it got intense. Each time it got almost well i pulled it again until I finally went to the doctor. Some of the exercises were too intense on the mat for my back too. So dropped out for now till I get well but still a member. We did the leg march with abs and arms overhead too. Now I have PT exercises to do. ha! Be careful and ease up slowly on the weights. You are slimming up - doing the happy dance for you!
@@bonniee5849 so sorry you got injured, Bonnie!
@@StylewithSerena , Thank you. I am getting alot better lately.
Thank you for all this dietary guidance and the exercises. I appreciate you sharing the 2 followers on UA-cam , I will check them out! You are looking great!
Thank you for this video. Very encouraging and great tips. And yes, keep sending us more videos like these. Great video!❤
I exercise enough and in the correct ways, but I need work on my diet. Have people in my home that don’t eat the way they need to, and the way I need to. So, the lack of support makes it difficult, not impossible, but difficult. I’ll keep working towards it because the alternative is not an option. Thanks for your video. I loved it!!
@@terrifuentes4323 Terri, I understand completely. I get derailed by those around me so easily. My husband & son are very picky eaters and not interested in eating the way I want to.
I plan on following your diet and workout tips, as well as following the two channels you mentioned. Thank you for this video ! 👏🏼😄
Hi ! I live in Southwest Georgia. Hurricane Helena is expected in this area, in about an hour. Your wonderful video gave me something positive to focus on, while I wait on Helena to pass through. I also sent it to friends who are awake and waiting on tne storm. You are ALWAYS so inspirational and fun ! Thank you a thousand times for all of your wonderful videos!
