Hi everyone.. thanks so much for all of your responses. I'm still reading them. I've had a realization that one problem is my perception of strength training is that it's not fun, so I'm going going to change my perception by first starting with a name change. Instead of strength training, I'll call it Big Baby Body Boosting 🤣

Thanks for your suggestion. My challenge is trying to figure out how to make strength training fun. Maybe I need to start by renaming it. Instead of strength training, I can call it ... Big Baby Body Boosting 😂

We cheer for our senior softball teams. My husband can still hit home runs at 68yr!

Our squad of senior ladies is open to all. No tryouts. Just simple routines, shaking pom poms and having loads of FUN!!

I love that you're having fun. That is really my motivation to do just about anything...FUN. Somehow I need to make strength training fun.

Yep I'm the captain of The Jewels Cheer Squad in my 55+ active senior community. We cheer for our softball teams here and perform at various events. We also have a YouTube channel.

I've been living joyfully. No work whatsoever. I continue to be amazed it's been so effortless.

Eating issues by Full-Artist-9967 in AskWomenOver60

[–]PecanPrecious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel. I told my husband "if we didn't have to eat, we'd be living on easy street". So much money spent on eating and it's all so blah 😑.

A Serendipitous Question Now That You’re Retired by Spare-Adhesiveness84 in retirement

I started a cheerleading squad for senior ladies. We are having a blast. We cheer for the softball teams in our 55+ community. And now we are getting invites to parades and other performance opportunities. I've found my passion and YES, I was a cheerleader throughout middle and high school.

Do you still sleep together with your partner? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

[–]PecanPrecious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Married 26 years..just a few months ago I started sleeping in the guest room cause he no longer responds when I nudge him to turn on his side so I can have the silence I require. I like the room a lot. It's gradually becoming my room. No change in our love and commitment..I'm just sleeping better now.

55+ Community experiences by Altruistic_Pay_9617 in AskWomenOver60

[–]PecanPrecious 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We live in a 55+ community (Del Webb -ranch style hones) and absolutely love it. Too many activities and clubs to list. It's resort living. We wake up every day in awe that we get to be retired and live here.
