FOR 25 YEARS I PUT MYSELF LAST. I raised three children and somewhere along the way I got really good at taking care of everyone else — and forgot to take care of myself too. Then I reached my 50s and decided my strongest healthiest years didn't have to be behind me. Today I'm 53, dancing next to my 20-year-old daughter. I'm not trying to BE 30 again. I just want to be the strongest version of myself I can be. These 3 things became non-negotiable: 🏋️‍♀️ 1. Build muscle, not a smaller body. I strength train because I want to stay strong and capable through my 50s, 60s and beyond. 🔋 2. Support healthy aging from the inside. NAD+ plays an important role in energy metabolism, so supporting my NAD+ levels became part of my daily routine alongside training, nutrition and recovery. 😴 3. Stop treating rest like something I have to earn. Sleep and recovery are part of taking care of myself now — not something I squeeze in last. If I could tell my 40-year-old self one thing: START SOONER. Not because getting older is something to fear. Because the woman you'll become at 50, 60 and 70 is being shaped by how you take care of yourself today. My daughter is still young. And I hope when she's my age we're still doing ridiculous dances together 😂💛 Click the link in my bio to grab exactly what I use and swear by 💛 Follow me first so it doesn't get lost! I'm not a doctor, I'm just your average 53 year old. Just sharing what personally worked for me. Move more. Live fully. Age fearlessly. 💛 #womenover50 #agelessbeauty #fitover50 #healthyaging #usa🇺🇸 - @ageless.ari
