Starting a Fitness Plan for Women Over 40
By Dawn Fritsch 4 years ago I was in that exact same place. While I wasn't over 40 I was only a few years away from it, I had just had my second child and was 25 kg's over weight. I decided one day after seeing a picture posted of myself on Facebook that it was enough. Before then I honestly didn't know how big I'd become. So my problem became what do I do now? Where do I start? I had never played any sport, never done any serious training in my life and had absolutely no idea what to do. After doing some research on the internet I attempted to do a home based program using some basic gym equipment my husband had. For support I did it with a girlfriend who also wanted to increase her fitness. How did we go? Terrible! Coffee and a chat was more often or not our workout.
