Getting fit and strong as we age is possible—and it’s NOT too late to start! Just listen to 62-year-old personal trainer and fitness tutor Jacqueline Hooton. She’s the author of Strong: The Definitive Guide to Active Ageing, has appeared on the BBC, featured in and written articles for The Independent, The Huffington Post, and more. Jacqueline runs the popular Instagram account @hergardengym, where she empowers women over 50 to get strong with exercises specifically for them, and plenty of motivation! This mom of five walks the walk—she lifted her personal best in the gym this year! Jacqueline spoke to us about her approach to active aging, fitness challenges women over 50 face, overcoming physical obstacles (from broken bones to osteoarthritis), moving beyond the “get fit quick” goals that simply don't cut it, and why youth is not the gold standard.
