Life is a journey, and after you've hit the big 5-0, like me, it can be challenging to get and stay in shape. In this list, I'll share with you some tried and true ideas, plus some affordable fitness equipment to help you meet your fitness goals. Now that I'm past 50, I can honestly say that keeping fit is not easy at this age. Of course, you'll want to be sure to check with your physician before undergoing any diet or fitness routine. I hope this will make your Fit After 50 journey a little easier to achieve as it has for me.
