How to Get Fit for 50. Tara, a mother of 3, began her Hitch Fit online personal training plan, knowing that the big 5-0 was coming up, and she wanted to look and feel her best as she started a new decade of life! Initially, she bought into the story that once a woman reaches a “certain age”, then it’s not possible to make great changes. It’s hormones, it’s inflammation, there’s nothing that can be done.
She chose NOT to accept this as true. And turned to Hitch Fit to change things around!
If you are in your 40’s or 50’s, maybe you’ve bought into the lies too. That when your hormones start to change, when you start to gain weight in areas that you didn’t when you were younger, that alas, there’s nothing that can be done.
If you think that, then check out Tara’s story. It’s one of many that you’ll find at Hitch Fit that show that those limiting beliefs are just not true. Your body CAN change and WILL change if YOU are ready to make changes!

Tara’s Hitch Fit Online Personal Training Story and Review:
I don’t feel as if I’ve been on a diet for the last six months (the time since I did my Hitch Fit plan and continued on), but instead have learned a new way of eating which has become my lifestyle.
The way the nutrition is structured allowed me to find foods I like that fit in my daily macros – I don’t feel like I have been depriving myself or like I have been eating a certain way because I am on the program – this way of eating has become my “new normal”!
I would add (because I think a lot of women my age find this) is that, I’ve always been relatively slender my whole life – but I have had to work at it.
I have worked out regularly most of my adult life and tried to make good food choices 80% of the time!
As a mother of 3 (ages 15, 19 and 21) as I approached 50 it seemed that what I had done in the past wasn’t working as well, my body was starting to change, weight was accumulating in places it hadn’t before…particularly my mid-section and my back!
When I saw myself from the back and saw fat rolls just below my bra line – I was literally disgusted and that is what made me seek out this program!
The internet and social media are flooded with messages that say its nearly impossible for “menopausal” (although I’m not quite there!) women to lose the weight. They say its hormonal, it’s inflammation and a handful of other reasons that make women my age think it just isn’t possible to get the body you want.
I wasn’t ready to accept that explanation. I bought into it for a while, even reached out to one of these hormone replacement therapy places.
But in the end I decided to go the Hitch Fit route. My goal was to have abs by my 50th birthday. And I’m happy to say, I accomplished that mission!
The program is simple, but not easy! I worked really hard, I said no to eating out most of the time, no to alcohol, and no to some of the foods I love – but in the end it was SO worth it. I feel great, I feel confident and happy! At the end of the day I would rather feel like that all the time instead of the short term happiness that comes from eating pizza or ice cream or that Pina Colada!!”
