Whether you hate exercise or you like it but aren’t getting results now that you’re over 40, you might wonder if you can just skip it and lose weight without exercising. So let’s talk about whether it’s possible to lose weight after 40 without working out, and if so how and is that advisable anyway?

Even though aches and pains and injuries are common over 40, they aren’t a guarantee. There’s so much you can do to eliminate or drastically reduce them.

After turning 40 I felt trapped in steady weight gain, health issues, cravings, and out of control eating. I wasn't doing anything differently to cause this, and nothing I had tried in my younger years worked anymore. If you're trying to figure out the puzzle of weight loss for women over 40 - THAT LASTS, isn't restrictive or miserable, and doesn't demean you as a human being... this video takes you through my weight loss journey, and I share my diet secrets, diet tips that really work, and gives you weight loss inspiration. You'll learn how to lose weight and keep it off in a diet-free, non-diet approach. If you're sick and tired of yo yo dieting or feeling out of control with food, here's how to stop that. Learn how to make peace with food, experience real food freedom instead of always tempted. This is weight loss the healthy way. You got this!

When one of my clients (we'll call her Ann) recently said the words "I love it" about going to the gym, I almost jumped out of my chair and screamed in excitement.

I'm guessing you can probably relate to this: Ann was tracking her steps but hadn't exercised or stepped foot in a gym in a long time. In her case it had been years. And as much as she knew she "should" exercise for her health and weight loss goals, she felt so self-conscious and nervous about being out of shape and working out in front of people that she felt like she couldn't do it.

Fast forward a month or so and she's telling me she loves it.

Want to get there too? Here are three steps:

I'm guessing you've been there: working out and sweating like crazy but seeing no results. No weight loss, no endorphins, none of the health benefits everyone says you're going to get from exercise.

The problem is that you need to choose the right kind of exercise.

As always, my goal is to give you the simplest, most potent and sustainable ideas. I gave you two steps and one condition for deciding what to eat and I'm giving you two steps and one condition for how to exercise as well.

As I told you in my last post ["How to Decide What to Eat (Whether You're Trying to Lose Weight or Not)]", nutrition makes the biggest impact, but exercise is a key component, and the right kind of exercise is a must.
