info_outlineCold Weather, Warm Muscles: Smart Winter Fitness Tips for Adults Over 50
As the seasons change, so do our routines â and for many older adults, colder months bring more than just snow and chilly mornings. They bring stiffness, aches, and a steep drop in motivation to stay active.
Thatâs why Iâm thrilled to share our latest Live Long Better episode featuring Dr. Sabrena Jo, Director of Science and Research at the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Dr. Jo is a nationally recognized voice in fitness science and healthy aging, and in this episode, she gives clear, compassionate advice for staying strong and steady through winter.
We discuss how cold weather affects muscles, why older adults need to warm up differently in winter, and what simple indoor exercises can improve strength and balance â without requiring expensive equipment or a gym membership.
Even more importantly, we talk about the emotional side of fitness during winter â how loneliness, low energy, and dark days can create barriers, and what role the 6 Pillars of Wellness play in staying mentally and physically well.
Whether youâre caring for aging parents, guiding clients over 50, or simply working to age well yourself, this conversation is full of takeaways:
⢠Science-backed movement tips
⢠Real-world stories of transformation
⢠Winter-specific warm-up routines
⢠Practical advice for daily strength and confidence
