I just turned 61 and I have finally learned that my walking time is something I am invested in. It’s important for me to feel confident and empowered. It’s not exercise. It’s my quiet time. My me time. ❤
I’m on this journey with you! I’m 68 and fear not being able to take care of myself due to the extra weight. I joined a fun and fit class at our community center. It is designed for seniors and uses a chair for balance and we do some weights while sitting in the chair. I have met some wonderful and fun ladies in my class, they help to make the class fun and keep me coming. I do confess to being a clock watcher since I’ve never really enjoyed exercising. I also joined a Zumba class, can’t do the whole hour and just keep up the best I can, but not alone in that. Many other seniors struggle, also, but I do enjoy the dancing and just put my own spin on it. I also walk the indoor track each day I go to class, making the whole exercise routine equal an hour. It has really helped strengthen my legs and core which we all use to stand, get up and walk. Plus the core strength helps to keep one from falling. I’m now checking into a ballroom dance class! All the best to you and I really enjoy your videos. Ps, I also try to accomplish at least two house chores each day and feel good about getting them done.
Hi. Cathy. I just loved your walking video. You did really 👍 good. And it was nice to see someone who looks like me. 😊❤ i do my daily walking everyday. Since this is really the only thing i can do right now for excercise. For im waiting for knee replacement surgery. And the walking some days. Prevents the night leg cramps and knee pain. I take my B12 and vitamin d in the morning. Magnesium at bedtime. your very encouraging to me. And i want to thank you. For your awesome cooking and the grocery shopping 🛍 videos. And the clothing also. It is so cold here. No snow. Thank goddess. But i always walk at the mall. I can usually handle 1 hour at most. If i overdo it. My knee aches very bad. So i know my limit. When my weight is down. My knee doesnt get much pain. So i do want to get my weight down somemore. Happy to say i found some leggings. I wear a longer shirt or t shirt or sweater with mine. My knee brace doesnt show. Which is a plus. Also. I have difficulty. Putting my sneakers or shoes on. I invested in some sketchers hands free slip - ins. I got a pair of sneakers plus a pair shoes and a very low cut ankle boot. All slip - ins. Now i dont struggle getting any of the 3 mentioned. Because there hands free. Slip on easily. I decluttered my closet. Only keeping what i really wear.and happy to say i bought some new clothes also. It sure makes you feel better about yourself. My husband always tells me buy yourself something. You're losing weight. I dont notice it but he does . Noticing. Im always pulling up my old pants. your encouraging words. I've been going to hair salon. They color hightlight my hair. I dont do it on my own any longer. To hard standing. With my knee the way it is. So this makes me feel better about myself taking care eating healthy . Looking forward to whatever is next with your videos. Thanks beautiful lady Cathy. Pretty 😎 you are also. 🙏👌😉🙌🫶✌️🙋♀️ catch you later.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
68 yrs old,I’m down 100 pounds after three years of cutting out sugar, intermittent eating,I do the (yes 2 next )30 minute walking workout,it’s great,good luck on your journey 🎉
I love the way you have reframed exercise as an investment in your long term health. My hubby and I started about a month ago and we enjoy exercise now. I try the same with reframing of household chores as a way to move because house work is hard work, but I set a time limit to chores so that I have more time to do what I love! Win-win for me!
Great way to switch the mindset of exercise. I’m turning 60 in March and have decided to get on the same track as you!!! I’ve been doing pretty well this month!!! Even if I just do stretches on a day I’m doing something! It really is an investment and BONUS I’m realizing that I’m more flexible and don’t hurt as much 💃🏻
Cathy ~ You look radiant, just beautiful. You must be doing a lot of things right. : ) I've walked with Leslie for 7-8 years, but my favorite thing is walking alone outdoors...great prayer time, and I enjoy (and crave) the fresh air and scenery. It's worth the effort. Thanks for your openness and encouragement!
I’m 53 years old and I lost 13 kgs simply by watching Dr Jason Fung videos and books. I didn’t do any crazy exercise at all or any fad diets. Menopause caused weight gain but Dr Fung was my last resort and I’m so glad I stumbled upon him, once I was educated, I was able to lose weight.
Thank you Cathy I would love to see more exercise videos we can do this together ❤ I have one question when do you like to exercise in the morning or evening?
I’m in!! I just have to get through this awful upper respiratory stuff. I’m 67 work fulltime in a hospital lab. I get at least 6000 steps in each day. I just need to build more muscle.
I’ve been walking outdoors alone, with my dogs, or with a friend. Even when I don’t really want to do it, like this week when it’s been 20 degrees F or lower, yet I feel much better when I’m finished and have enjoyed the fresh air.
I don't like to exercise also. But my friend told me to join her at a center for free to workout. It's a chair cardio class. I started on my birthrate over a year ago. Lost 19 pounds, I remember you said not to get discouraged. I love going, met very nice people. Age starts 50yrs and our oldest lady is 98! Well next week she will. I'm 73. You are an inspiration.
I am with you, turned 56 Jan 14. I did this 2023, lost 35lbs. I got to Fall of 24 and I just stopped. No idea why, except I simply got tired of the daily "gotta do it" and I gained it all back. I had made it safely into " onederland" , so mad at myself. Starting all over. Joined WW Dec 29, need that tracking right now. Exercised every week at least 3-4 days. Well, today is Thursday already and I have not exercised yet, this video just inspired me to keep moving. I can still get 3 days in if I just stop procrastinating. I hear the struggle, know it well. Thank you for your inspiration
Hi Cathy- Thanks for sharing your WLJ. Nutrition is #1, but exercise helps to tone your body and is great for your mental health & mood. It’s important for women over 40 to ‘lift heavy’ (whatever is heavy for you) for bone & muscle health. This is going to be an AWESOME year! ❤❤❤
Thank You Cathy!! I am going for a walk today it’s going to be pretty outside brining in the rain in Oklahoma we need it but I sure love being able to go outside and get that “Sonshine” on me He helps me get my mind right Keep up the videos so inspiring and helpful You L👀k fantastic ❤🎉😊
I’m going to start in the morning as it’s 10:30pm. Your talk helped me think about how i view exercise (usually I can’t be bothered), but I need to look at it as really worth doing to help my health and weight loss. I owe it to myself. I’m 61, I have rheumatoid arthritis and Type 1 diabetes. I’m ready to do this xxxx
Yes! I can attest to this - I made a habit of walking every day and love it so much that I miss it if it’s too icy. If I can’t get out for a walk I use the treadmill but outside is more my thing. I tried your workout video and it is indeed very effective, more fun than the treadmill for sure. Thanks for making that video 😊
I'm definitely being motivated by you and practicing that positive self-talk...I haven't really loved myself for a while now and it's about time I changed that!🥰
Hi Cathy l am 58in July I have started going to a lecture centre and I am doing. Classes Monday yoga. Tuesday tone and after tone I do Pilates Wednesday fif for life and Thursday fat burn exercises thanks for sharing this video I will be watching it again with the you I really enjoyed the last video Cathy ❤xxx
I’m totally on board! I have always enjoyed exercise but last few years have been tough on me for several reasons. But this is the year to get re-motivated. You inspire me for sure!
I try to remember that some people aren’t well enough to exercise and I’m lucky that I can still move my body. My mom died young with many health issues as did my brother so I think that helped me view exercise in this way. My mom couldn’t walk a block without stopping to catch her breath. I workout almost daily now, sometimes only for 20-30 minutes but I know that it will help me age well.
Thank you for saying this, because with having Rheumatoid Arthritis and so bad in my feet. My Rheumatologist advised me to not walk anymore than 10 minutes for exercise. To save my feet. I get on my recumbent bike and that helps! I'm so glad you can exercise!
@@karenquick8737 Thank you! Good for you that you were determined to exercise and found a way to get some movement in, despite having RA. I had knee surgery recently for a while so I used the stationary bike instead of walking which aggravated my knee and continued to workout using my upper body. There is almost always a way to get some movement in.
I totally agree with your first comments, I dont enjoy exercising and yes if I can pass on it I will 😊 but listening to you kathy is really motivating. Thankyou yet again for another inspiring video you're a real star. xx👍🥰
Take up line dancing. It’s fun, not work. And it gets you moving! Join a class at your local rec centre. I’m 61 and just started a couple of weeks ago.
I love that you are sharing g exercises and including is in your journey. So motivating that we all get to share our successes and failures to help each other see what is working and what isn't.
Good for you fitting exercise into your routine - it really is what we do every day that counts! 👏👏👏 Two things - if indoor walking doesn’t thrill you, try dancing! 💃🏻 Just put on some favourite music and jive around your living room. Dancing burns lots of calories! Also, eat veggies first at every meal 🥦🥬🥒🥕 (if you’re having something where the food groups are mixed, like lasagne or stew, eat a veggie appetizer) - it slows down glucose absorption and reduces cravings. I saw the suggestion on a Glucose Goddess video, and it really works! Finally, you look fabulous! Your healthy habits are clearly paying off!
Oh Cathy….you are so right about kidney dialysis! My Dad did it for four years and it was so hard on him. I know he did it for my Mom. I’m trying to just walk on the treadmill for 15 minutes a day. I average about 5000 steps on a normal day so I’m not totally sedentary. I used to work out all the time but I never seem to have time now. Every day is a new day so I’ll just keep trying.
I'm 75 and also on a weight loss journey. I know what you mean about January! I caught the respiratory bug going around. The first time I've had one of these for 6 years!! So I haven't stuck by the eating plan, because some days I didn't feel like eating much of anything. I'm still snorting and coughing after a round of antibiotics and Prednisone! I'm hoping that Feb I'll be getting back completely on track!
I’ll be 60 in February and I’ve worked my way up to an hour a day. I do walking videos every day and light weights 3 days a week. I started out a few years ago having to sit in a chair and work out 10-15 min a day. I have a lot of health issues. My problem is I still overeat and eat bad. 😢 I had lost 23 pounds and have sadly gained most back. I’m cheering you on, you’re such an inspiration to us all.
Hi Cathy🎉 Hey girl, don’t knock on being 67 in ten years, I’m 67 NOW😅 and I’ll be 77 in ten years! Still hanging in there and I hope I’m still watching your videos🎉 I’m in for your Jan. 31 video. As I told you on IG, I joined Weight Watchers and have lost 3.5 pounds! I joined at a great price and am loving the app. Your videos ARE encouraging and I can’t wait for the next one ❤ Susan
Hi Ms. Cathy! I am the Dr. pepper addict. I have failed this month on this front for sure...one a day😪 I have however changed my nightly desert to an apple with peanutbutter, hopefully better for me. I still exercise about 3x a week😃
As another one who doesn't like exercise, the reframing really is helpful. Ever since you did the recent walking video, I realized I can do this, and have been staying with it, 15 minutes (a mile) a day for now. I'm doing it inside and often with hand weights in a controlled way. It's such a short time investment, and it's working. I'm older than you are, and I think as we age movement becomes increasingly important, so along with deliberately getting more calcium and vitamin D, I'm doing this for overall health. It helps me to know that it's beneficial and important. The short walks are helping to develop the habit you talked about. One side benefit of exercise is warming up on these frigid days we've been having here! Keep these coming, they are encouraging!!
Make time for your wellness, or you will be making time for your illness. I tell myself this every morning when I'm trying to talk myself out of exercising.
I need to lose 50 pounds, I’m 65. Now, I do walk my dog twice a day no matter how cold it is. I struggle with depression especially in the winter. Well, I need the sun so walking my dog has shown a great improvement in my moods. I just need to get my eating under control I need low carb to lose.
I’m turning 67 in May 😢. Having problems with my knees which does limit exercise. Leslie Sansome Walk Away The Pounds videos are great also. I am restarting my weight loss journey after losing 12kg last year I try not to put more than 2kgs on over the holiday/ Christmas season
I have PCOS which has made losing weight difficult. An endocrinologist prescribed a medication but it wasn’t really working. Once I started walking for an hour each day and going to some cardio classes I began to lose weight. Hardest part is getting out the front door.
I have been exercising consistently for 6 months as if my life depends on it, because it does. After my open heart surgery, I realized the importance of cardio vascular health. However, I have not lost any weight so I’m disappointed. My own fault though for not carefully monitoring my intake. Trying to improve the diet now and thinking about joining WW. My only hesitation is that there are no group meetings near me and that face to face contact keeps me on track.
I had to laugh, you GenX-er you! I am 66 now (but not for much longer). I remember thinking I'd be 42 at the year 2000 and how old that was. One of my challenges is to not become diabetic. My mother never did, because she ate like a bird. But my Dad was full-on diabetic by 59. All of his brothers became diabetic by 52, and his father who became diabetic due to his alcoholism, died of complications of diabetes at 83. Now, I'm pre-diabetic so I have to get my act together. Thanks for the reminder!
I will be sixty six in less than six months. And I don’t like to exercise either. I’m trying to do more. But right now I’m sick. So I don’t have the energy to do much. I’m hoping to feel better soon. I do try to walk when I go out back with my dogs. One reason is it’s so cold out here right now. And it gets my blood flowing more.
I'm going to be 60 this year. I have noticed that I am losing strength so I pulled out my DVD's from The Firm and started using them a few times a week. it's kicking my butt but it will be worth it. as for diet I'm doing intermittent fasting. I read a book called Eat. Stop. Eat. you do two 24 hour fasts a week. I fast on Tuesday and Saturday. the other days I count my food like Weight Watchers points. so far it's paying off I am down 6 pounds this month. I keep telling all my younger coworkers not to let their workouts slide so they don't lose their strength as they get older
I will love myself despite the ease with which I lean toward the opposite....Poet Shane Koyczan I have to put myself first concerning my health. Since I started Zumba, aerobics, and swimming I have lost weight, gained strength, and no more asthma per my Doctor. I know how I feel now compared to 2 years ago. I love your channel,l Cathy.
Well recently we've had such a deep freeze here in Oklahoma that Arctic blast just hit us real hard I have not been out in the cold walking I just can't do it it's just too cold but it's starting to warm up more so I will start to go back out and do my 30-minute walk I do miss it but I just jump right in it and go on.

Good thinking - about being the best versions of ourselves. And as my chiropractor says, "Motion is Lotion!" You're right, keep moving!
Love that saying!

I average about 5000 steps on a normal day so I’m not totally sedentary. I used to work out all the time but I never seem to have time now. Every day is a new day so I’ll just keep trying.
15 minutes a day is great! 💖
Thanks for your inspiring videos. I walk around the house from bedroom to kitchen and get some simple exercise that way on some days.❤
Just ordered an air walker machine, hoping that gets me moving. Looking forward to your next video ! ❤
I'm 75 and also on a weight loss journey. I know what you mean about January! I caught the respiratory bug going around. The first time I've had one of these for 6 years!! So I haven't stuck by the eating plan, because some days I didn't feel like eating much of anything. I'm still snorting and coughing after a round of antibiotics and Prednisone! I'm hoping that Feb I'll be getting back completely on track!
I’ll be 60 in February and I’ve worked my way up to an hour a day. I do walking videos every day and light weights 3 days a week. I started out a few years ago having to sit in a chair and work out 10-15 min a day. I have a lot of health issues. My problem is I still overeat and eat bad. 😢 I had lost 23 pounds and have sadly gained most back. I’m cheering you on, you’re such an inspiration to us all.
Hi Cathy, I haven’t been exercising but you have put me in an exercise mood. Thanks a bunch, Love from Mississippi 🧚💞
You are so welcome Debra!
Please make another 10 minute exercise video. You are awesome! 👍🏼😊
Thank you!
Hi Cathy🎉 Hey girl, don’t knock on being 67 in ten years, I’m 67 NOW😅 and I’ll be 77 in ten years! Still hanging in there and I hope I’m still watching your videos🎉 I’m in for your Jan. 31 video. As I told you on IG, I joined Weight Watchers and have lost 3.5 pounds! I joined at a great price and am loving the app. Your videos ARE encouraging and I can’t wait for the next one ❤ Susan
Hi Susan, so happy to hear that the new WW plan is working for you! Have a great weekend! 💖
Hi Ms. Cathy! I am the Dr. pepper addict. I have failed this month on this front for sure...one a day😪 I have however changed my nightly desert to an apple with peanutbutter, hopefully better for me. I still exercise about 3x a week😃
Great reframe! Yes!
Yes, I just set up my walking pad
Sounds like a plan!❤
As another one who doesn't like exercise, the reframing really is helpful. Ever since you did the recent walking video, I realized I can do this, and have been staying with it, 15 minutes (a mile) a day for now. I'm doing it inside and often with hand weights in a controlled way. It's such a short time investment, and it's working. I'm older than you are, and I think as we age movement becomes increasingly important, so along with deliberately getting more calcium and vitamin D, I'm doing this for overall health. It helps me to know that it's beneficial and important. The short walks are helping to develop the habit you talked about. One side benefit of exercise is warming up on these frigid days we've been having here! Keep these coming, they are encouraging!!
You are doing great Karen!😊
Thanks for sharing! I’m struggling with motivation and have started to regain some of the weight I have lost over the last 2 years!
You are so welcome!
Make time for your wellness, or you will be making time for your illness. I tell myself this every morning when I'm trying to talk myself out of exercising.
Love that!
I need to lose 50 pounds, I’m 65. Now, I do walk my dog twice a day no matter how cold it is. I struggle with depression especially in the winter. Well, I need the sun so walking my dog has shown a great improvement in my moods. I just need to get my eating under control I need low carb to lose.
January is a difficult month for me with the lack of sunshine, thankfully it's almost over! Can't wait for spring!!
I’m turning 67 in May 😢. Having problems with my knees which does limit exercise. Leslie Sansome Walk Away The Pounds videos are great also. I am restarting my weight loss journey after losing 12kg last year I try not to put more than 2kgs on over the holiday/ Christmas season
Thank you for this! I also thought your walking video was excellent.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have PCOS which has made losing weight difficult. An endocrinologist prescribed a medication but it wasn’t really working. Once I started walking for an hour each day and going to some cardio classes I began to lose weight. Hardest part is getting out the front door.
I have been exercising consistently for 6 months as if my life depends on it, because it does. After my open heart surgery, I realized the importance of cardio vascular health. However, I have not lost any weight so I’m disappointed. My own fault though for not carefully monitoring my intake. Trying to improve the diet now and thinking about joining WW. My only hesitation is that there are no group meetings near me and that face to face contact keeps me on track.
Yes I do think like that because I don't want people to have to take care of me
I had to laugh, you GenX-er you! I am 66 now (but not for much longer). I remember thinking I'd be 42 at the year 2000 and how old that was.
One of my challenges is to not become diabetic. My mother never did, because she ate like a bird. But my Dad was full-on diabetic by 59. All of his brothers became diabetic by 52, and his father who became diabetic due to his alcoholism, died of complications of diabetes at 83. Now, I'm pre-diabetic so I have to get my act together. Thanks for the reminder!
I will be sixty six in less than six months. And I don’t like to exercise either. I’m trying to do more. But right now I’m sick. So I don’t have the energy to do much. I’m hoping to feel better soon. I do try to walk when I go out back with my dogs. One reason is it’s so cold out here right now. And it gets my blood flowing more.
I hope that you feel better soon!
I'm going to be 60 this year. I have noticed that I am losing strength so I pulled out my DVD's from The Firm and started using them a few times a week. it's kicking my butt but it will be worth it. as for diet I'm doing intermittent fasting. I read a book called Eat. Stop. Eat. you do two 24 hour fasts a week. I fast on Tuesday and Saturday. the other days I count my food like Weight Watchers points. so far it's paying off I am down 6 pounds this month. I keep telling all my younger coworkers not to let their workouts slide so they don't lose their strength as they get older
Congrats on your weight loss! 6 pounds is great!
I will love myself despite the ease with which I lean toward the opposite....Poet Shane Koyczan
I have to put myself first concerning my health. Since I started Zumba, aerobics, and swimming I have lost weight, gained strength, and no more asthma per my Doctor. I know how I feel now compared to 2 years ago. I love your channel,l Cathy.
That's amazing!!💖
Well recently we've had such a deep freeze here in Oklahoma that Arctic blast just hit us real hard I have not been out in the cold walking I just can't do it it's just too cold but it's starting to warm up more so I will start to go back out and do my 30-minute walk I do miss it but I just jump right in it and go on.
Yes, it's icy and cold here too! Looking forward to spring.
Your such a sweetheart 💕 ❤️ 👍
😊 thank you
