How to Become a Fit Women Over 40

Who Am I?

Hi, My name is Deborah Dennis and I have been an athlete all of my life. Most notably as scrum half playing for the USA National Women’s Rugby Team. Read more here >>

I CREATED THIS SITE because most fitness websites are tailored towards younger women, and most show only lean, fit young women’s bodies. I am constantly scouring the internet to find fit older women who are quietly and passionately living a fitness and strength training lifestyle.

My intention is to bring together as a community all of you amazing women out there who have worked hard for your amazing bodies. Come meet these women who have a DESIRE to do the work it takes to be strong, fit and healthy as we age. It’s not always pretty, nor is it always easy but it seems to be worth it. WE are each others inspiration and motivation to keep moving, to keep working out and to keep on track towards our goals, whatever they may be. WELCOME, and come join us on our journey.

What Exactly is Fitness After 40?

There are many significant benefits to exercise and getting and staying fit. Exercise reduces your risk of diabetes and heart disease, helps you get a better night’s sleep, fights fatty liver disease, helps you manage your weight, and helps you look and feel younger.
