One simple habit that can make a difference? A walk after dinner! 🚶‍♀️

Taking just 10–15 minutes to walk after a meal can help your body regulate blood sugar and support better metabolic health.

In Italy, the tradition of an evening stroll is known as *la passeggiata*. It's a wonderful reminder that staying healthy doesn't always require an intense workout.

Small steps add up!

Strength isn’t just about lifting weights at the gym. It’s about being strong enough for everyday life.💪

Carrying groceries. Lifting a suitcase. Pushing a heavy door open. Pulling something toward you.

These simple movements require strength, balance, coordination, and stability—and they become even more important as we age.🔥

In my latest blog, I’m sharing why carrying, lifting, pushing, and pulling should be part of your fitness routine and how functional strength helps you stay capable and confident in everyday life.

Too hot to play pickleball today, so I’m taking a day off. ☀️🥒

Exercising in extreme heat isn’t a badge of honor. Our bodies get less efficient at cooling themselves as we age, and we often don’t feel thirst as quickly. That raises the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and even heat stroke. Warning signs include dizziness, nausea, headache, a racing heartbeat, and cramping. If you feel any of them, stop, get into the shade or AC, and drink water.
If you must be active in hot weather, go early in the morning or after sunset, and drink plenty of water.

Rest is also part of the training. Your muscles, bones, and brain get stronger while you recover, not while you’re pushing. Skipping recovery leads to fatigue, poor sleep, and injury.

So today I’m putting my feet up, sipping my Swedish tea and recharging. Listen to your body. It’s smarter than your calendar! 💛

✨ Women 50+, this one’s for us! 💪

As estrogen declines with age, we may experience changes in muscle strength, bone density, recovery, and mobility. But we’re not powerless — strength training can help us stay strong, capable, and confident as we age.

That’s why Jane Fonda’s Trainer, Malin Svensson, teaches a LIVE Strength Workout Online every month.

Next class: Saturday, October 3 at 9 AM PST

You’ll get:
• 9 strength-building exercises designed for the 50+ body
• 3 levels of difficulty so you can work at your own level
• Guidance on proper form to help prevent injuries and reduce aches
• The Nordic Body Dynamic Drill of the Month to improve balance, coordination, mobility, flexibility, speed, and reaction

“Weird Al” — what a showman! “Weird Al” Yankovic 🎵

Impressive stamina and flexibility to pull off a 2-hour show packed with costume changes. At 66, he’s still got it! 👏

Such a fun experience, and the seats were amazing — 5th row! Thank you, Suzanne Yankovic and Al! 🙏

The opener was Puddles Pity Party — amazing voice and such a fun act!

It was a night full of celebrities — we even sat next to Dan Povenmire and his wife.
