People at my gym, health care professionals and my health obsessed friends. Not ONE of them could tell me how or even where to start with a workout program to get me moving in the direction of my goal which is to be an older competitive body builder. You nailed it! It has never been as clear to me as you made it for me! Thank you so much! You have answered a multitude of questions that I’ve been carrying around for years! Now I can get started! Wish me luck!

I really never exercised prior to this. Let me tell you my body has transformed dramatically, even without much cardio. I do try to eat healthy as well. I couldn’t be more pleased and am now a total believer weight training is the best way to get the body you desire and get healthier.

Lisa,
I’m SO happy to hear you find my advice helpful! I have to say, while reading your comment I was thinking about my mom all the time – she got diagnosed with osteoporosis just few months ago (she’s 51).
She started working out too and she’s feeling a lot better and stronger now. It was a real struggle convincing her to start working out in the first place, since osteoporosis sounds scary enough so she was a bit frightened about doing more harm than good “What if I break my leg again? Shouldn’t I be resting rather than putting myself to a risk of getting hurt?”.
But fortunately, she finally to overcame her fear, so she started working out. Pared with the right diet, her muscles got much stronger, helping her increase the support overall.
She feels much better now, and looks better too :)
So, keep it up Lisa and if you have any questions or concerns about anything at all, please feel free to contact me at any time – I’m more than happy to help!
Love, Monica

I am 57 and started working out about 7 years ago after discovering I had the beginning of osteoporosis (Drs. orders).
Initially it was a struggle, but soon I felt stronger and was sleeping better.
Was always thin with narrow shoulders. I’ve gained weight (now am 145). Working out 3-4 times a week has given me strength and definition in my shoulders and arms, hips and legs. Most importantly, I’m off cholesterol meds and sleep medication. Bra straps no longer slide off and clothes look and feel better on me.
Your advice is similar to how I have patterned my personal plan…ractical and simple. More real food, less processed.
Thank you for affirmation and good advice.

Lisa,
So glad you like my article :)
Yes, I have a workout program you can check out for some guidelines, here it is: https://fitgirlsdiary.com/2016/01/15/breaking-fat-formula-the-best-weight-loss-program-for-women/
I still believe working out with heavy weights is the best way to achieve your full body potential and build lean muscle mass.
However, I’m working on my personal diet program in a form of e-book and as soon as that’s out I’ll start working on my new workout program for building muscles and getting fit.
You’re going to love it, so make sure to subscribe and get it in your inbox as fast as it’s done :)
Love,
Monica
