“It's never too late, and you're never too old to do anything.”

–Fiona Lambert

We don’t have to become invisible as we age. We don’t have to gain weight, lose fitness, slow down or stall out. What if you could be in the best shape of your life at 60?

Fiona Lambert, author of Invincible Not Invisible, set herself that goal just nine weeks before turning 60. I love her energy and the belief that it’s not too late and you aren’t too old. I got inspired to transform my health again before my 50th birthday.

Fiona believes in having a purpose driving you and 21 day habit resets. And like we do in FLOW, she believes in 90-day goals and lifestyle changes made up of consistent small changes. Can’t imagine changing your diet or finding time to exercise? Listen in for how she did it — and check out our Doable Changes to start your own wellness shift at any age.

We talk about:

Breaking stereotypes about our ideas of wellness, fitness, and what’s happening in our bodies as we age
Having a purpose and deadline for an end goal
The power of HIIT training for transforming your body and fitness — even when you don’t have a lot of time
The challenges of making a change like giving up sugar or alcohol — and how the challenge diminishes with time as it becomes your norm
Shifting to more protein and less carbs as you age — and stocking your fridge with foods that fit your goals
Fiona’s 5 Ps—Purpose, planning and preparation, perseverance, people to support you, and positivity

ABOUT FIONA

Just nine weeks before her 60th birthday, successful fashion businesswoman Fiona Lambert decided to get into the best shape of her life consciously exercising more and being mindful of her diet.

By cutting out alcohol and eating more protein than carbohydrate, she lost weight, gained muscle, and more importantly, she was sleeping better, feeling confident and full of energy, laughing in the face of the common presumption that we slow down as we get older.

Through Fiona’s personal story of being a senior executive at major UK fashion brands over 35 years, mothering two children, working up from a designer and going on to successfully transform brands in the industry for years, she's a fearless entrepreneur and has now used her passion and energy to become a fitness idol and author.

Fiona’s new book, Invincible Not Invisible, proves you don't need to feel invisible in later life and shares her message that it is never too late to get into the best shape of your life. Drawing on her own experiences and business background, she provides practical insights, effective strategies, and actionable tips for anyone looking to achieve their best shape and reclaim their vitality, irrespective of age.

DOABLE CHANGES

At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action.

Sometimes action gets a bad rap. You can be kind to yourself. You can practice being AND doing, but for change to happen you have to take steps. The way we take care of ourselves is making the steps doable and focusing on one thing at a time. We take time to integrate the change and then move on to the next one. And don’t forget — having a bad day doesn’t mean you are done! Pick a Doable Change that resonates with you the most to start from.

Here are three Doable changes that we chose from this conversation.

TRY HIIT WORKOUTS. HIIT workouts are high intensity interval training. HIIT workouts can help you lose weight and boost your metabolism. You can do them at a gym, with a personal trainer, or even at home. Book a session with a trainer, sign up for a class, or find a HIIT workout video online. Start with 15 minutes to start your day. See how it feels.
MAKE HEALTHY SNACKING EASY. Fill your fridge with foods that are better for you to snack on. Include veggies and foods high in protein and fiber. Watch out for extra or expected sugars. Have veggies cut or of snacking size to make it easy for you to eat the foods you want to be eating.
FOCUS ON ONE OF THE Ps. Fiona lists these 5 Ps as part of her plan: purpose, planning and preparation, perseverance, people to support you, and positivity. Pick one to focus on this until you feel like it is set. Then pick another P.
