Not too long ago, I wrote about a workout More Magazine had specifically for women over 40. Now, some More Magazine readers have stepped forward to show that they're over 40 and fitter than they were in their 20's.

Some of their tips:
  • Manage stress eating by making healthier, conscious choices.
  • See a trainer to develop a strength training routine.
  • Limit red meat and eat more fruits and vegetables.
  • Exercise daily.
  • Shove self-doubt to the side and don't shy away from a challenge.
  • Try a new activity.
  • Even if you have a hectic schedule, be sure to take time to focus on yourself. Treat your health like the priority it is.
  • Practice weight-bearing exercises to maintain healthy bone density.
