Join Flipping 50 Menopause Fitness Specialist® to become a coach! Flipping 50 Women's Retreats are each designed to challenge and stretch you. We challenge your fitness, your thoughts about aging, and menopause. We educate about hormones through exercise, nutrition and sleep choices. We always try to find motivation to move. Truth is if we don’t fix this issue, we’re not going to fix sarcopenia, obesity, and osteoporosis or Alzheimer's. This conversation dives into the science of motivation, the difference between exercise vs. daily movement, and why healthy longevity (healthspan) matters more than simply living longer. You’ll also hear how to build sustainable habits, avoid burnout, and find movement you actually enjoy—because consistency is the real goal. Movement—not just exercise—is the most powerful “medicine” for longevity. Despite decades of evidence, most people still struggle to stay active—not because they lack knowledge, but because they lack motivation to move. My Guest: Jordan D.
