I was showing my 20-year-old niece around South Beach when we came upon Muscle Beach, right by Ocean Drive. We had been walking in the heat all morning and had just eaten lunch before I decided to try a few pull-ups. I immediately started making excuses to her, saying I could only do three instead of my usual five. And she said, “I’m 20, and I can’t even do one.” Of course she could if she trained. But that wasn’t really the point. The point is that it feels exhilarating to come across a bar anywhere and know I can pull myself up, especially when just two years ago I was only begi…

When I set out to get an unassisted pull-up, I was 60, soon turning 61, and coming out of a two-year ordeal with a torn rotator cuff. I had run a half marathon in my 40s and learned a freestanding handstand in my 50s. I wanted another goal for my 60s, but pull-ups were not even on my radar until I interviewed @ginnymaccoll and started wondering whether that could be my next thing. I had never done a pull-up in my life. It wasn’t even in the realm of things I thought I’d ever want to do. I started training little by little, and this is the result two years later, two months shy of 63. I …

I honestly didn’t feel my pull-ups become a full-body, lat-first move until I found a way to fire up the lats that actually worked for me. After a certain age, I do think the brain-body connection can take a little more intention than when we were younger. And I had zero muscle memory for pull-ups because I had never, ever even wanted to try one before I was 60, and that’s after working out most of my life. I kept trying things like lat pulldowns, doing pull-ups first thing before any other Exercise, and scapular pulls, which I still do, but now as part of a more comprehensive warmup. T…

I’ll be turning 63 in late August, and I still sometimes hear, “Wait till you get to my age.” But here’s the thing: people have been saying that to me since I was a fitness instructor at 21. I don’t say that to younger people because I don’t want them to fear aging. We do have some agency over how we age. Not total control, of course. Illness, freak accidents, congenital conditions, and life itself can change everything in an instant. But we can still do something with the cards we’ve been dealt. That’s why I do my best to follow women older than me who keep shattering stere…

Most people wouldn’t guess this by how I show up in the world, but I have battled major depressive disorder and anxiety for most of my life. I still do, to an extent. I’ve had episodes that landed me in the ER, thankfully, a long time ago. As a kid, I was painfully shy and introverted. By 16, I was clinically depressed and had a full-blown eating disorder that lasted two decades. My first book, published when I was 30, was about that part of my life. Therapy, along with self-help books, helped. And most definitely, my lifelong quest to find the right meds for me helped. I found them at 4…
