Stronger with Age: Empowering Women to Embrace Active Aging at We Are Fit Attitude
Krissy Vann | Host, All Things Fitness and Wellness
Looking for inspiration on how to stay fit and strong as you age? Look no further than We Are Fit Attitude, a community of fierce women who are breaking barriers and changing the narrative around active aging. In this exclusive interview, founder Anna Jenkins shares her inspiring story of becoming a personal trainer in her forties and empowering women to harness their strength.
As Anna explains, strength training has many benefits for older adults, including improving mobility, reducing the risk of injury, and increasing overall health span. But when she was looking for stock photos to represent the strong women she trains, she was disappointed to find that most images depicted older women as feeble and weak. So, Anna and her community staged their own powerful photo shoot, showcasing the strength and vitality of older women.
The We Are Fit Attitude community was thrilled to come together for the photo shoot and showcase the reality of working out as an older adult. Women in their 50s, 60s, and 70s showed that strength training is not only possible but essential for living a healthy, fulfilling life at any age. Jason Alfred-Palmer, the photographer and son of one of the community members, captured the raw power and beauty of these women in action. Their striking images have garnered the attention of The Guardian in the UK, catapulting We Are Fit Attitude into the spotlight as trailblazers in the active aging movement.
Now, Anna is on a mission to help women of all ages embrace their strength and live their best lives. So if you're ready to join the movement and unleash your inner power, tune in to this must-see interview with Anna Jenkins. Get ready to be inspired by the fierce women of We Are Fit Attitude and learn how you too can break barriers and redefine what it means to age actively.
