First time I tried weight training at 45 years old. Now at 47 i am deep into it and loving it. Life changed before wright training and after are 2 different lives and me. Best thing for me. I feel and look better than 10 , 20 years ago. I also naturally stopped drinking alcohol over a year ago, cleaned up my nutrition and just feel more energetic, positive, confident. It’s transformative.
Interestingly, I am also 53 years old, and three years ago I started lifting weights... I have more energy and feel better and more vigorous than when I was twenty or thirty.
How is your journey going? I strength train 4x weekly & rest more than I did. Eat well. Mentally this has helped me as I age at 42 and am struggling with hormonal changes….game changer ❤
At around min 56, Annie is so on target: sugar is the problem; the culprit of inflammation, mental fog, slugginesh, weight problems, glucose intolerance, T2 Diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and so much more. Just giving up processed sugar can have such a positive impact on your health!
Processed foods and seed oils , actually. Sugar isn’t as bad , depending on how much you consume . There are recent studies that show sugar consumption hasn’t increased that much since early 1900’s but the processed foods along with seed oils have. This seems to be the greater contributor to much of the increase in diseases we are seeing today.
This is amazing and successfully experienced by myself. Im 53 years old and have been running long distance for more than 10 years , but I decided to incorporate weightlifting 3 years ago after I had a total hysterectomy, I never stopped cardio and running , but took strength training seriously. I have never felt this strong and active , the highlight if this life style is the results of my last bone density test, my number was similar to women in mid thirty.. this made me commit to my training even more . It’s a life style, not necessarily to live longer, but to live stronger and self sufficient mywhole life hopefully 👌❤️thank you for this inspiring video
Thank you so much for sharing, and we are glad to hear that you are feeling so strong and active! What does a week of training typically look like for you?
@@BodySmartPodcast 2 days strength training/ 3 days of running and hiit sessions+ swimming / 1 day mobility .. I do my best to rest once aweek 😬😬 Im an ultra runner, so this whole plan changes 3 months before a race : more running , less of everything else . I also always have short term goals , like being able to do a certain number of consecutive pullups or staying in my plank longer and so on .. 5-7 am is my sacred training time , won’t trade that for anything else
Gosh, I just saw a comment that this was 20 minutes talking about nothing and I couldn’t agree less. This is one of the best conversations I’ve heard. I was very interested in how this woman transformed herself and I loved that you asked so much detail about how she lives her life. I’m 70 and used to exercise a lot when I was young but after menopause, I gained a bunch of weight. I think I’m going to go back to the gym now. 😊
@@vernasweetpnw thanks so much for this comment 🙏 Annie is such an incredible inspiration as she shares such a positive outlook on exercise for its mental, physical and emotional wellbeing! ❤️
So inspiring! I'm 59, last cycle fall 2021, I have always felt the post meno fat explosion is not destiny. All of this makes sense. I especially love Annie's commitment to eat mostly whole foods and lots of protein, cooking at home. I'm getting that, what a great difference it makes! I've been resisting HRT but hearing it everywhere. Not sure if I'm going to do that but am willing to look into it. Blessings all!
I also agree, I'm lighter than I've ever been at 52 as I work out several times a week and eat mainly meat and veg, plus 90% choc and have a strange penchant for rice cakes with grass fed butter a few times a week. I have just started getting crepey upper arms though. Was using HRT patches, but ask my doctor for blood test to check they were working. Turns out they weren't working enough, so I'm now awaiting bio identical HRT products on prescription. I would definitely go for HRT as despite this I definitely notice better mood. Plus I would take it for bone density protection alone
Her face looks great and she doesn’t have makeup on and doesn’t need it. Everyone will age so please be kind as she may be reading these comments. She looks fantastic in face and body. Stop with mean comments everybody has feelings and think of how you would feel!
So, I got my metabolic rate set at 35 when I was 50 and I was fit, but nothing like Annie. My husband who is same age as me got his put at 54, and although lean and muscular does not take same measure as me (vapes, drinks, poor diet). So that shocked him! I got told by the instructor at the gym that the machine will only take 15 years off the actual age, so it’s plausible that Annie is lower than 36. Like Annie I have never felt fitter but I have a way to go until I build muscle like her.
You're over 50. Quit coping and trying to act like you're in your 30s. Nothing wrong with being healthy but you sound like a total nutjob. The woman in the video looks every bit her age. The skin on her face, neck, arms and hands etc doesn't lie. I'd argue she looks older than she actually is.
Gosh 20 min talking about nothing...this small talk oooo she went to the gym and my neighbor and friends.seriously who has time nowadays for this? Can you just come to what is really important and not discussing some women that you know and how they make friends
I’m on my 7th year! It is true about having accountability and a community. It helps so much. I do beach body workouts online. But I have so many friends to that motivate me to get better and be stronger. 😊
Sick of fitness promoters/doctors talking about age like it’s not a factor of time. You cannot ever reduce age, be younger, have a x age body that is not your age. The only way to do that is to time travel. You can live longer or be fitter but age by definition is measured by time!
Think it just means things like blood pressure etc is same as younger person not that you are going to live longer. Only that you are not putting so much strain on your vital organs etc due to accumulation of years of bad living.
If at the age of 30 you drank a lot of alcohol, had a large body weight and did not have physical activity, then by correcting all this you can be better at 40 than at 30.
Annie definitely isn't talking about time travelling, but is it a pretty standard practice to record how your metabolic age (how many calories your body burns at rest,) compares to the average for people of their chronological age in the general population.
@@BodySmartPodcast like I said - metabolic age is bs. It’s the length of time an organism has been alive. You can be fitter and have a higher quality of life and maybe live longer but I will bet anything that nothing will change the age of anything (living or dead) except possibly time travel. If that can be argued. No kidding being fit, active and strong prolongs lifespan…It’s kinda been known for ages. Should be common sense.
Yes I do more body weight training, like pushups, squats and all kind of things and I also started using light weight dumbbells like 12 and 15 pounds with my bodywieght workouts as well. Thanks
I would love to go to the gym but I'm put off because I don't know what to do or where to start. The classes are intimidating because they seem to be for people who are already fit and in shape. I currently do walking and try and do little work outs at home.
Everyone has to start somewhere & honestly I love to see new starters and most gym goers are happy to help/give advice. It is a good place to meet people, clear your head and generally good to get out of the house!
Her metabolic age is 36 Thank gosh she hasn’t resorted to Botox because of horrible comments like yours @keyliving No wonder women get depressed after 40
You passed the vibe check 🙌 I mean not only does Annie look great, but she also never claimed to look 30 or not age? So some of the comments are just wildly angry for no reason.
How does this work for people with osteoarthritis? I just got diagnosed. I have pain in my knees and find it hard to get up and down from the floor. I also have it in my hands. I can imagine lifting weights involves holding heavy weights.
@treelore, consider the Isomax or just do plain overcoming isometrics exercises without equipment-they also stimulate the central nervous system the same way heavy lifting does, they build strong bones, and it’s much, much easier on joints, tendons, etc. ❤❤
I'll be 69 in Sept. 5 ft, 120 rock hard. I'm sorry. I do spend 2 hours in the gym 6 days a week and I look closer to her a descent 53! but my body is like a bodybuilder competitor. I'll take it. It's a life style. I eat healthy. I cook all my food. i don't like restaurants that are overly expensive and you still see a lot of plate. I'm not sugar coating anything. I am toast when I am done But, what a good time to read a book...imagine that, "reading". Let's do this.
I‘m sure she has no glutes at all! The reason are the super sets. If you wanna build your upper body it might work. But not for legs/glutes. You are so exhausted you need the time in between sets. Otherwise it wasn‘t hard enough and therefore you won‘t grow. So don’t listen to all of what she is saying, unlesse you just wanna have a toned armes
@@dibe889 If you are looking to build large glutes super setting might not be super beneficial for you. But there are plenty of benefits to super setting and can definitely help you develop muscle in your lower body. Would be happy to take a look at any sources you would recommend that show otherwise! Always love a good discussion 💪
@@BodySmartPodcast Muscle yes…but the glutes are a big muscle and it needs a hard training. If you wanna build it in a way most women want to have it, super sets are a limiting factor. That’s for sure. Do RDL with 90-100kg for reps and the a super set afterwards. No way
@@dibe889 if the goal is to build the glutes for athletic or aesthetic goals you’re right you probably wouldn’t be doing too many supersets to build them. And while we can’t speak on behalf of Annie’s goals from the conversation we had overall health, energy and enjoying the process seemed to be her focus. 💪
for those who are crtiquing her face ...yes...its natural for caucasians to ahve wrinkles early and it does not mean they are less healthy than asians or africans who have firmer skin even if you have cut out processed food also my mum looks younger without makeup and less wrinkles and no grey hair despite being 50. HOWEVER SHE admires this lady because she says jsut because she has no wrinkles or HER face looks younger does not mean shes healthy(she has bone problems and her body is not in good shape). She admires how you europeans are confident despite having early grey hair or wrinkly skin some people say weight lifting strained annies face to look old....THTS NOT NECESSARILY TRUE REMEmBER MOVE WITH NICOLE THE PILATES AND YOGA QUEEN?...SHE HAS A YOUNG BODY BUT IVE NOTICED HER FACE AGING RAPIDLY DESPITE STICKING TO GENTLE YOGA AND PILATES ITS NORMAL FOR FACE TO AGE WELL BUT CAN BE HEALTHY BY HAVING A FIRM BODY AND STRONG BONES
i disagree I am WAY older than her and have NO wrinkles....and her hair is horrible.....she is not all that healthy .....she has muscles but is not healthy
So many important informations,thank you for the podcast.She is so radiant,feminine and full of good energy.Her body and face in her 50's ...wow just congratulation and keep inspire people 🙏🥰
I'm 58 energy of a 35 yr old been going to the gym and kept fit for yrs going to the gym is not the main fitness regime , too much info we don't need to know the obvious 🙂👌
53 is still young. My personal opinion being g too built as a woman takes feminine softness away. Lifting weights for bone health is good and hiking swimming walking just being active will keep you in shape. Low carb whole foods helps as well.
you cant simply start exercising and lifting weight and end up looking like this lady lol even a lot of men dont have arms like hers guaranteed shes on some steroids, and esp after 50, its impossible for a woman. The main issue for ppl with long term fat issues is because of inflammation which is caused by eating the wrong foods. So much lack of information, disinformation and misinformation in this area.
I have arms like hers and I am 42 year old female who eats right, trains right. It is not impossible to gain arms when you have low body weight. She may have small glutes and completely different lower body (she also may have amazing lower gains) but this is not steroid gains. You’re either jealous or not educated
This makes no sense because your metabolism doesn’t change in your lifetime, unless your body mass and muscle mass change. You do not have an “age” on your metabolism.
Hey @sunnygirl9691, Metabolic age is a way to compare your basal metabolic rate (BMR) with others your age. It can provide a general idea of your metabolism so you can take steps to manage your weight and improve your health! It's a very widely used measurement! If your metabolic age is lower than your chronological age, that's a sign of good physical health. Conversely, a higher metabolic age may suggest that you have health issues. A lower metabolic age is typically found in people with more lean muscle, a healthier diet, and a more active lifestyle.
@@BodySmartPodcast It would be more accurate to say she is outdoing her 53 year old counterparts because folks accumulate damage over their lifetime with their poor lifestyles. "Fitting in" with your age would never be good because average folks are unhealthy.
For 53 yo and being that lean, she actually looks great, her face is full, it can probably fillers but I don’t think so because of her lips, she doesn’t have much make up neither. Do not confuse beauty with age.

for me She doesn’t look that young 😂maybe she drink wine too with her workout regimen. I’m 54 I look younger than her and I walk a lot . I walk 20000 thousand steps in a day and I don’t eat out at the restaurants 😂 I eat whole food and I cook and I love cooking.
@@parisaparis6229 Annie doesn’t state that she looks younger than 53 but testing showed that with the lifestyles changes she’s made, her body functions at the rates of people in their 30s rather than 50s. We don’t need to tear other women down to celebrate our own successes. Annie is stunning, kind and fit 💪 It sounds as though you are doing great with daily movement and whole cooking so amazing work 🙌 Do you also strength train?

Great conversation guys. So so important to get the message out there particularly for Gen X / Baby Boomer women that strength training, eating enough “real food” protein sources and enough natural fats will improve both health and body composition . I understand why you guys are talking about “loosing weight” but the bigger picture is prevention of diseases the most prevalent being, Diabetes type 2, Alzheimer’s and Cancer. 🫶🏼
Thank you so much for this comment 🙌 One of the things we take great pride in is that typically our clients find us when they are at their wits end and want to lose weight and by the time they graduate our program and share their accomplishments weight is the last thing they mention. The physical, emotional, and mental transformations that come with nurturing your body never gets old to us 🧡

She may have small glutes and completely different lower body (she also may have amazing lower gains) but this is not steroid gains.
You’re either jealous or not educated
@@darnitthelma4247 then its good genetics. Ive been researching health and fitness for decades
She looks 53.
@@gerafinali4384 she sure doesn’t move like your average 53 year old 🤷♀️
@@BodySmartPodcast I'm not sure which kind of 53 years old you have met. The one I know move like her...They are not 70.
She never said she looks 30s..her metabolic age is 30s..its different from appearance.
This makes no sense because your metabolism doesn’t change in your lifetime, unless your body mass and muscle mass change. You do not have an “age” on your metabolism.
Hey @sunnygirl9691, Metabolic age is a way to compare your basal metabolic rate (BMR) with others your age. It can provide a general idea of your metabolism so you can take steps to manage your weight and improve your health! It's a very widely used measurement! If your metabolic age is lower than your chronological age, that's a sign of good physical health. Conversely, a higher metabolic age may suggest that you have health issues. A lower metabolic age is typically found in people with more lean muscle, a healthier diet, and a more active lifestyle.
@@BodySmartPodcast It would be more accurate to say she is outdoing her 53 year old counterparts because folks accumulate damage over their lifetime with their poor lifestyles. "Fitting in" with your age would never be good because average folks are unhealthy.
Her body is awesome,but her face hasn’t Aged well.moderation is the key for everything.
👍👍👍👍
For 53 yo and being that lean, she actually looks great, her face is full, it can probably fillers but I don’t think so because of her lips, she doesn’t have much make up neither. Do not confuse beauty with age.
@@candidal5352 huh?
for those who are crtiquing her face ...yes...its natural for caucasians to ahve wrinkles early and it does not mean they are less healthy than asians or africans who have firmer skin
even if you have cut out processed food
also my mum looks younger without makeup and less wrinkles and no grey hair despite being 50. HOWEVER SHE admires this lady because she says jsut because she has no wrinkles or HER face looks younger does not mean shes healthy(she has bone problems and her body is not in good shape). She admires how you europeans are confident despite having early grey hair or wrinkly skin
some people say weight lifting strained annies face to look old....THTS NOT NECESSARILY TRUE
REMEmBER MOVE WITH NICOLE THE PILATES AND YOGA QUEEN?...SHE HAS A YOUNG BODY BUT IVE NOTICED HER FACE AGING RAPIDLY DESPITE STICKING TO GENTLE YOGA AND PILATES
ITS NORMAL FOR FACE TO AGE WELL BUT CAN BE HEALTHY BY HAVING A FIRM BODY AND STRONG BONES
Oh brother
for me She doesn’t look that young 😂maybe she drink wine too with her workout regimen. I’m 54 I look younger than her and I walk a lot . I walk 20000 thousand steps in a day and I don’t eat out at the restaurants 😂 I eat whole food and I cook and I love cooking.
@@parisaparis6229 Annie doesn’t state that she looks younger than 53 but testing showed that with the lifestyles changes she’s made, her body functions at the rates of people in their 30s rather than 50s.
We don’t need to tear other women down to celebrate our own successes. Annie is stunning, kind and fit 💪 It sounds as though you are doing great with daily movement and whole cooking so amazing work 🙌 Do you also strength train?
@@BodySmartPodcastyes what she really means that her body strength is like a 36 y. o.It could be measured with your activities in gym.
When a woman insults another woman, it's the lowest.

they slow your age, stop inflammation, make you look and feel younger.
You lose a pound of muscle every year after the age of 30. Muscle gives you energy, makes you agile, protects your bones
and eats calories.

Great conversation guys. So so important to get the message out there particularly for Gen X / Baby Boomer women that strength training, eating enough “real food” protein sources and enough natural fats will improve both health and body composition . I understand why you guys are talking about “loosing weight” but the bigger picture is prevention of diseases the most prevalent being, Diabetes type 2, Alzheimer’s and Cancer. 🫶🏼
