8 Health Tips to Staying Fit | Fitness Over 40

[@nyeemajohnson7924]

Excellent tips, especially eating clean, intermittent fasting, and minimize alcohol!👍👍👍I’m also in my mid fourties and have maintained my size 2-4 figure due to the way I eat and exercise! I’m a holistic nutritionist and agree that the key to maintaining your weight is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. I started to eat a Paleo diet in 2011 and actually lost about 10 lbs. I also eat small meals, don’t drink alcohol, eat gluten -free, and only eat a small amount of dairy once per week and rice-based pasta once per week. I eat at least 6 servings of low carb fruit and vegetables, and only drink water and tea. I also only eat when I’m hungry and walk about 2 miles a day for exercise.

I'm a personal trainer and I always tell my clients that want to lose weight that exercise just won't do it. You have to change the way you eat. No snacking! Real food. Seafood and Lots of vegetables. In fact, my first question to my clients is what vegetables did you eat yesterday? Exercise is important but for reasons other than weight loss.

[@ChrisGaultHealthyLiving]

I agree! Being at a healthy weight is about 80% healthy diet, 20% exercise/active.

[@simonethach7134]

it's so true diet is 80%... I've always been active but my diet was not good I eat real late and drink occasionally so when I turned 41 I started workout 6 days a week, do intermittent fasting, I eat alot of fruits, veggies, salad, salmon, avocado, complex carbs. For smoothie I put blueberry, strawberry, banana, kale, vegan chocolate protein powder and coconut water it tastes like chocolate shakes 😋. I've lost 25 pounds in 3 months 🙌.

[@MyNameIsAhalya]

I am 46 with 35 lbs to lose. I started eating clean and working out 5 days a week about 3 weeks ago. About 90% of the youtube videos on health, diet & fitness are geared towards women in their teens, 20s and 30s. It is so great to see women in their 40s taking charge of their health. You look 35-36! So glad there is a channel out there for women in their 40s.

[@TableForOne2025]

Wow, you look phenomenal! I just turned 44 earlier this month and haven’t been as disciplined as I was about a year ago. I’m slowly getting back on the healthy train because honestly, I like to look great in my clothes (for me). Thank you for this awesome video ❤️

[@sunshinegirl122]

Love this video! I actual planted a winter garden during quarantine-having veggies right in the backyard helps tremendously. Your videos are always inspiring-TY 🙏🏻

[@chubbyhicks128]

I'm 47 and over 147 pounds!! Please help!!!😊 My youngest is 15 years old. Snacks are not the problem, I love to have a little bubbling at night before I go to bed and that's a hard habit to break. I guess I can work on downsizing my portion sizes as well. Also good luck for all you ladies 40 plus. We got to do this and I know we can!! Thanks hun for the video. I love the advice.

[@Ternika100]

Thank you, Heather for your videos, you are so inspiring!!!! 🌹🌹🌹 have a good day! 😘

Good morning Heather, I enjoyed your video! Thank you so much! Have a Beautiful Day!!

[@HeatherAndersonFashionOver40]

Angela Crowder thanks Angela, you too!!

[@stiqbissyt6052]

Moderation is a good idea UNLESS you are a recovering binge eater, then you cannot have the unhealthy junk foods you crave..... once I give in to my craving, I don't stop!!!! Abstinence is key!

[@tanyawilliams138]

Thank you so much Heather for this video. You have motivated me to go for a walk.

[@KhosiF]

Wowwww your body is on fire 🔥 love love this video♥️♥️♥️well done you look stunning and honestly age is just a number💕💕💕love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@kristinam.p.5058]

Thank you for your honesty!

[@fireeye33]

85% of my results are definitely food and fasting. 25% from HIIT workout to tone up. I stay fit like yours even better than my 20ish

[@lindamcandrew1229]

Thank you heather .. you’re inspiring! For fun .. how about a video of you showing us a sculpt workout. I’d like to purchase but prefer a sneak peek on details of the workout first. Thanks.

[@majesticmountainliving5239]

Hi Heather, your skin looks really amazing.

[@DeliaNErik]

I’m 43 and the only way to keep my weight down by watching what eat and exercising

[@DeliaNErik]

Yes Thats the key exercise and eating healthy

[@terrycurtis2633]

Your insight to healthy living and looking fit is well deserving. You look fabulously 46.

[@HeatherAndersonFashionOver40]

Terry Curtis - thanks so much and thank you for watching!

[@daffidalswuli]

People complain about their weight and how they tried this or that and nothing worked in the end. The truth is u don’t need to try this or that to begin with. All u need to do is to control your mouth! Have discipline and control how much u eat and what u eat. They say, if u can’t control your weight, how can u even control your life? I am 43 years old, 5’5”, 110lbs, 32c bra, 24” waist, 34” hip. I am loosely following what she said in the video. If u follow strictly what she said in the video, oh mine! I can’t even imagine how bony and skinny each of us can be!

[@labornurse]

Your routine sounds great. But bony and skinny is not necessary for health. My hubby likes slim-thicc so...it allows more leeway with calories.

[@daffidalswuli]

T M H Hi! I concur! That’s why I said I am loosely following her tips. Imagine we all follow some kind of health and fitness tips and everyone would be healthy and fit! And no one would complain how fat they are.

[@kimhough7753]

Enjoyed this video Heather! I drink tons of water but I’m not as active as I should be. Hopefully you’ve inspired me to get off my lazy butt! 😊😊

[@mikeprzlomski2092]

Great job Heather

[@kayb1656]

I feel the same about alcohol. It just ruins the next day. I hardly ever drink anymore, just special occasions.

[@angeladmager7464]

That smoothie sounds delicious, and what a clean and healthy protein powder! Nice!

[@HeatherAndersonFashionOver40]

Angela D Mager - thank you Angela!!

Thank you so much! I would like to try drink some protein shake during morning! Best wishes from Croatia!

[@sonianunez2916]

Heather, what an incredible informative video❤️. I am workout 🏋️‍♂️ junky. It keeps fit and sane, but like you said, nutrition is number one. You look incredible from top to bottom. I love the blue outfit. In another note, I’m a Dental Hygienist and work in scrubs, I would love for you to do a video on how to look good in scrubs. I love fashion, but I find it very difficult to pull it off in scrubs. Stay safe😍!

[@HeatherAndersonFashionOver40]

Sonia Nunez - thank you so much! What a great video idea!!:))

[@DeliaNErik]

I stop eating around 8 pm and I don’t eat again until the next day at 12pm

[@wendyp8488]

Thank you for sharing your secrets for staying so thin and fabulous ⭐️

[@misscychilds]

These were awesome tips! Love your channel ❤

[@kamidmisra4107]

Spot on with the alcohol/wine, more prone to mindless eating or eating junk. I always pair mine wine and ports with cheese and jam. Yikes! P.s great tip on the black swan yoga. Thanks a million xo

[@HeatherAndersonFashionOver40]

Kami D Misra - I love having it with cheese and jam too lol!

[@monikakress3867]

totally agree with you, especially on the alcohol. People should think of a glass of wine or a beer or cocktail as the health equivalent of a huge slice of cake. You gonna eat that every day? gonna have two? that will show on your face and on your body. Cake is probably less bad for you. It’s the year 2020 people. Alcohol is right up there with smoking - outdated, bad for you, and overall a poor fashion choice.

[@HeatherAndersonFashionOver40]

I totally agree!!!

[@lucyi1202]

Great tips!! Staying fit really is 90% what you eat! I have become gluten and alcohol intolerant over the years and have IBS so there’s a ton of vegetables I can’t eat 😞 I also can’t eat dairy because I break out instantly. By the way, the links to the Alo yoga are not working

[@ChrisGaultHealthyLiving]

Nice health tips!

[@Jamysticgirlg]

It’s so funny if I close my eyes I swear it sounds like I’m speaking in. I’m 48 and I live the similar life style as you I try to educate my friend on all these things to help them. In a nutshell thanks for the vid

[@debbiesid3165]

These are great tips - that’s why you look amazing! How do you keep from snacking from 5 PM until you go to bed? That is my tough hour !

[@HeatherAndersonFashionOver40]

debbie sid - I stay out of the kitchen and brush my teeth early too! Thanks for watching!!

[@angeladmager7464]

The evenings were my tough time too. Brushing my teeth, as Heather said, definitely works. That and making the decision that I was not going to snack in the evening. I started small, by cutting back to fewer evenings per week. That made it a lot easier for me.

[@debbiesid3165]

Angela D Mager Thank you both - I will try the tips!

[@childofthemighty1341]

If you eat enough during the day and eat whole foods you dont get hungry. Drinking water during the day helps too

[@kristinam.p.5058]

@@HeatherAndersonFashionOver40 Haha yes, brushing my teeth always helps cut cravings SO much!

[@jennawilsey5796]

You are absolutely right about alchohol!!!

[@nestakorine]

I am wondering if the plastics leaching from the Essentia bottle cancel out its alkalinizing effects?

[@ThuyTran-tk4mm]

hi the alo outfit you had on what color is yours cause the website has different blue color version. blue moon or blue jean?

[@christinaschonhof2716]

You look amazing 😍 I will definitely try this shake

[@childofthemighty1341]

I need to loose some weight. So I do appreciate this Video.

[@childofthemighty1341]

What? 47...no way gal! Am happy I found you.

[@soniasantos9575]

what are your body measurements

[@aboutfacemua]

Can you share your almond flour banana bread recipe?

[@PaigeKennedy]

So inspiring 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😻

[@krissywilson8660]

Drinking alcohol will wake me up in the middle of the night also.

[@yamilehernandez2362]

I like the snake print leggings!

[@123cindyb]

Do you drink tea or have anything after 5? Night time is toughest for me. Great video, thanks!

[@HeatherAndersonFashionOver40]

123cindyb - I really try and just drink water but will have hot tea on a rare occasion. I think that would be totally fine:)) thanks for watching!

[@sharonmedran6999]

Great advice! Do you ever wear your hair up? I think you would cute!

[@kathrynp7595]

Wine gives me a headache to so I just don’t drink at all

[@ST-xg3gy]

Kathryn!

[@ST-xg3gy]

Those blue leggings are very flattering.

[@soniaibarra3895]

Hi Heather. Are you aware of this? This is on a package if you live in the state of California. Q:The label says causes cancer and reproductive harm and birth defects. Can you please explain this!? Answer this question A: In the state of CA there are stricter labeling requirements as outlined by Prop 65. This required any company selling a product in CA that has trace amounts of heavy metals (i.e. Cacao powder, lacuma, etc) to label the product with this warning. If you don't live in CA you probably have not seen this message before as it does not apply in other states (many companies just sticker the warning on packages sent to CA) see less

[@labornurse]

Yeah, Taco Bell has this warning too, on their website. That warning is so overused. I am suprised anyone pays attention any more. Its a joke now.

[@ChrisGaultHealthyLiving]

I think the more you can eat organic raw vegan foods the healthier you can be. Just in my humble opinion!

[@giselleb5357]

Aren't you hungry later on when you eat dinner that early?

[@AlanaL3]

Bacon is not red meat:)

[@rubykaur4242]

hi i love the shape of your face

[@user-nj1nc8di5j]

Just don’t eat when you are not hungry.
