Are you interested in building muscle?  Have you been worried about how to lose weight? In this episode I talk with Debra Atkinson. Hormone Balancing Exercise Coach and 39-year Fitness Expert Debra Atkinson has helped over 275,000 women “flip” their 2nd half with vitality and energy they want. Bestselling author of You Still Got It, Girl: The After 50 Fitness Formula for Women; Navigating Fitness After 50 and Hot, Not Bothered, Debra hosts Flipping 50 TV and The Flipping 50 Show, and She Means Fitness Business podcasts, with more than 3.5M downloads. She’s a prior Senior Lecturer in Kinesiology and a Subject Matter Expert recognized by the American Council on Exercise, AARP, Washington Post, Prevention Magazine, and USA Today to name a few. Her TEDx talk is titled Everything Women in Menopause Learned About Exercise May Be a Lie.

Flipping 50’s message is there is no bigger health influencer in the world than a midlife woman. Most women get hurt just when they begin getting into a routine.
