Fitness and Aging

This was my favorite show ever. You answered every question I had. We keep hearing about how strength training is so important as we age, but what is it exactly? I loved hearing that yoga, walking, Pilates, planks, etc all count as strength training! Yay, I had already been doing those things, but thought I had to start lifting weights.

Looking forward to the menopause episode.

My Number One Podcast

I started listening in your radio days and I have not stopped…you are my number one podcast! Thank you Sisters for being who you are and making me a Satellite Sister.

My Weekly “Fix”

I’ve been listening since they were a radio show and they are now a fixture in my life. I look so forward to hearing the friendly voices, the silly banter, the issues that make me think (but not TOO hard!) and the discussions about topics that I can relate to personally. They’ve carried me through parenting my kids, parenting my parents, and starting and running a business with my son and spouse. If it’s Tuesday, I know my shoulders will relax and I’ll breathe a little easier. So nice to have friends you can count on, even if they’re a podcast away!
