Ever feel like you’re too old to keep doing what you love?

Here’s a story to give you something to think about.

Eight women, ages 77 to 85, competed this month at Boston's prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta. They're the first all-women's crew averaging over 80 to compete in it.

The Californians have been rowing together for more than 30 years. They hope their example encourages others to keep moving, competing and pursuing new goals.

"You can start in your 50s, and you can still be going on 30 years later,” Kim Coggan told Spectrum News. “We are trying to inspire and empower all women."

Their training includes rowing twice a week, strength training, and workouts on indoor rowing machines.

Lindy Edward, 81, a former marathoner, told National Geographic that she's learned to accept her body's limitations while remaining grateful for what she can accomplish.

The nearly three-mile race is another milestone in a remarkable athletic journey.
The friendships are just as important as the fitness.

"We've been through thick and thin together, and we're just so happy to be here," Arlene Killpack said.

Come find this kind of spirit and support with us: fitness, friendship and more go hand in hand.

But lifting weights should be on that list, too.

A major study published this year in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that women who regularly performed strength training had a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

Researchers followed more than 117,000 women for an average of nearly 15 years. Those who performed at least two hours of strength training per week had a 20% lower risk of major cardiovascular events than women who did none.

Their risk of heart attack was 44% lower.

The findings don't prove that weightlifting directly prevents heart attacks, but they add to growing evidence that strength training benefits far more than muscles and bones.

And the benefits weren't limited to women who skipped traditional cardio exercise. Those who combined strength training with aerobic activity showed additional advantages.

Researchers also found that women who met recommendations for both kinds of exercise and spent less time sitting had the lowest cardiovascular risks overall.
Cardio and weights both belong in a well-rounded fitness routine. Federal guidelines recommend strength training at least twice a week, along with 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity.

That's a combination that can help you build strength, maintain independence and support your heart for years to come.

Potato salad doesn’t have to be heavy to be delicious. This French-inspired version skips the mayo and uses a light Dijon mustard vinaigrette, fresh red onion, and peppery watercress for plenty of flavor without weighing it down.

It’s a simple reminder that healthy eating isn’t about giving up the foods you enjoy. Sometimes, it’s just about choosing a lighter way to prepare them. Small changes can make everyday meals both satisfying and supportive of healthy aging.
