At 55 I started sitting on the edge of the bed to put my socks on, and I never said out loud why. By 59 the job I had done unofficially for 2 years went to a woman of 34, and my manager said they wanted somebody with a bit more energy in the room. I asked for HRT that year and was denied, and I was told to eat less and move more. Then a woman from my Thursday class stopped me by the cars: "It was my hormones being starved. Somebody told me to feed them, and I did." These are the things I do every single week 👇 1. LONG LUNGE HOLD 🦵 Back knee down, front foot far forward, 2 minutes a side. The front of the hip lengthens when it is held, not bounced. 2. NAD 🧬 NAD is part of my daily routine to support cellular energy as I age, alongside movement, nutrition, hydration and sleep. The exact one I use is linked in my bio 👉 ✅ 3. SIDE TO SIDE SQUAT 💪 Holding the worktop, 10 slow ones each way. It loads the inside of the hip at the end of its range. 4. UNCROSSED KNEES ✨ Both feet down, knees apart, everywhere now. A hip kept in one narrow position all day gives you back that much and no more. 5. SLOW STEP DOWNS 🚶‍♀️ Off the bottom step, one leg, 5 seconds down. The hip controls the lowering, and that is what goes first. 6. THE BATH STRETCH 🔥 Last 5 minutes in hot water, soles together, knees dropped. Warm tissue moves further, so I take the range while it is there. Last Tuesday I stood in a room of people for 20 minutes and never looked for a chair. Which sentence were you handed, that it is your age, or that you should eat less and move more? I am not a doctor and this is what works for me. So comment GLOW and I will send it straight to you. Follow me first, or I cannot send it to you. Save this so it is there tomorrow morning, and send it to one woman who says she is just tired all the time. See the link in bio for the NAD I recommend. #fitover60 #FitAt55 #HealthyAging #WomensHealth #Perimenopause — TikTok di @healthyagingwithlisa
