Fitness Motivation for Females 50 and Over
I have fitness motivation for females 50 and over. But if you don’t want to work hard then skip this advice. Fitness goals, along with anything important, require effort. I lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks for my eldest son’s wedding. I promise you, it was not easy, but it was achievable.

Walking in the Wind

Against the gusts, the gales slow you
At your heels, it propels you

Yet somehow you arrive at your destination.
How do you choose to get there?
