Fit With Shaver

🏌️‍♂️ I might not be Jack Nicklaus on the course (yet 😉), but I definitely hope I’m still out there swinging when I’m his age! Watching Jack (84), Gary Player (88), and Tom Watson (75) tee off to open The Masters is hands down my favorite part of the tournament. They may not be crushing it like they did in their prime, but they’re still showing up—and that’s the whole point.

That’s why I keep showing up, too. Most days you’ll find me in the weight room (because muscle matters, especially in midlife), but I still make room for cardio—gotta keep the ticker ticking and the legs climbing!

So today it was me, the StairMaster, and The Masters on TV. Sweating it out one step at a time while daydreaming about fairways and greens. Not a bad way to spend a cardio day.

What are you doing today to make sure you’re still in the game—and loving life—down the road?

🎵 So don’t be surprised to see me back in that bright part of town
I’ll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
I’ll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in 🎵

💪✨ Home, Sweet Gym ✨💪

After some time away, I’ve rejoined the gym I called home from December 2001 to March 2022. Walking through those doors felt like a heartwarming déjà vu—memories of workouts, setting new goals, and even my kids growing up in the daycare came flooding back. And yes, I even parked in the same spot (because let’s be real, losing your car is the last thing you need after leg day! 😂).

While my home workouts have been fantastic, I’ve officially outgrown my weights and decided it’s time to level up! 💥 I’m so excited to take on new strength goals this year and can’t wait to get back in the pool. 🏊‍♀️

This step forward reminds me of why I created the Strong for Life Workouts. Whether you’re working out at home or in the gym, these quick, effective routines (as little as 15 minutes a day!) are designed to help women in midlife build strength, stay consistent, and feel amazing—on your own terms.

Fitness is about finding what works for you—at home, at the gym, or a mix of both. The most important thing is showing up for yourself, embracing the journey, and celebrating every step forward.

Here’s to a strong start to 2025, heavier lifts, and deeper dives into the pool of possibility. 💪✨

What’s a fitness goal you’re working on this year? Let me know in the comments—I’d love to cheer you on! 🙌
