Episode 121: Fit is Freedom with Kelly Howard

Staying fit and strong as we navigate the midlife transition can be a challenge. Our default is often to put ourselves last and to take our bodies for granted.

In this episode, Jo talks to fitness expert, Kelly Howard and about consistency, and the 5 “consistency killers”:

1. Perfection
2. Not anticipating road blocks
3. Going beyond your tipping point
4. The “all or nothing” mentality
5. Your personal kryptonite

Kelly identifies our tendency to wait for external things to change before we are able to make the changes in our lives we need to make and discusses how habit stacking and habit shifting can help us to get strong and live long rather than fading away.

About the Midlife and Beyond Podcast Like all transitions, midlife can be messy and sad and glorious all at once, leaving many midlife women feeling rather alone and somewhat invisible. But what does this transition we are experiencing lead to?

I'm Jo Blackwell, a photographer, author and coach for women who want more from their lives post 50 and I'm here to remind you that if we manage our health and embrace it, growing older can lead to one of the greatest periods of growth and transformation of our lives.

The Midlife Movement was created to change minds about midlife and growing older, one story at a time. Because we only become invisible when when we stop seeing ourselves.
