Fitness Over 40: How Women Can Stay Strong, Confident & Healthy

Jese Gary Season 2 Episode 10

Looking for realistic ways to stay strong and confident with fitness over 40? In this episode of Life Over 40 with Jese, we explore how women can embrace healthy aging by focusing on strength, mobility, and sustainable habits.


Fitness after 40 isn’t about chasing perfection — it’s about building the strength, energy, and confidence to live life on your own terms. In this episode, Jese Lewing Gary shares her personal journey of reframing fitness from aesthetics to wellness, and how women can approach health in a way that feels balanced and sustainable.


We’ll discuss why small, consistent changes matter more than quick fixes, how to set realistic goals that actually stick, and the importance of community support and accountability. You’ll also hear practical tips like meal prepping, hydration, and listening to your body to avoid injury — all while keeping mental health as much of a priority as physical health.


Whether you’re just getting started with your fitness journey or you’re ready to redefine what health looks like in your 40s and beyond, this episode will inspire you to create habits that support your long-term wellness.


Key Takeaways:

  • Fitness over 40 is about strength, mobility, and confidence
  • Goals should be realistic and sustainable
  • Mental health and physical health go hand in hand
  • Community and support matter for accountability
