Cold Weather, Warm Muscles: Smart Winter Fitness Tips for Adults Over 50

As the seasons change, so do our routines — and for many older adults, colder months bring more than just snow and chilly mornings. They bring stiffness, aches, and a steep drop in motivation to stay active.

That's why I'm thrilled to share our latest Live Long Better episode featuring Dr. Sabrena Jo, Director of Science and Research at the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Dr. Jo is a nationally recognized voice in fitness science and healthy aging, and in this episode, she gives clear, compassionate advice for staying strong and steady through winter.

We discuss how cold weather affects muscles, why older adults need to warm up differently in winter, and what simple indoor exercises can improve strength and balance — without requiring expensive equipment or a gym membership.

Even more importantly, we talk about the emotional side of fitness during winter — how loneliness, low energy, and dark days can create barriers, and what role the 6 Pillars of Wellness play in staying mentally and physically well.

Whether you're caring for aging parents, guiding clients over 50, or simply working to age well yourself, this conversation is full of takeaways:

• Science-backed movement tips

• Real-world stories of transformation

• Winter-specific warm-up routines

• Practical advice for daily strength and confidence

Live Long Better, The Not Old Better Fitness Interview Series, featuring Dr. Sabrena Jo

Too many older adults think rest means giving up. It doesn't. It means you're in this for the long haul.

In this episode of LIVE. LONG. BETTER, I talk with Dr. Sabrena Jo of the American Council on Exercise about why recovery is not a pause from progress—it's part of it. We cover how rest fuels resilience, how to avoid burnout, and why smarter training—not harder—leads to better aging.

This is for anyone who wants to stay active, strong, and sharp well into their 60s, 70s, and beyond.

Smarter Homes, Safer Seasons: Practical Home Advice from Dan DiClerico

Good Housekeeping's Good Better Best interview series from The Not Old Better Show

Welcome to another episode of Good Housekeeping's Good Better Best, on radio and podcast, where we bring you trusted voices and real-world advice to help you live smarter, safer, healthier and better at home — no matter your age or stage of life.

I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today's episode is brought to you by Longevity Mitopure Gummies: The First-Ever Longevity Gummies, powered by Mitopure. A delicious, easy way to put more energy into your day!

And today we're digging into the nuts and bolts of home life with someone who's spent over two decades helping homeowners get the most out of their spaces — Dan DiClerico, Director of the Home Improvement and Outdoor Lab at the Good Housekeeping Institute.

Dan's tested thousands of tools, gadgets, and appliances — and written just as many reviews — all to help families like yours figure out what's worth your money and what's just collecting dust. He's a former roofer, a lifelong remodeler, and a full-time dad, keeping up a century-old Brooklyn brownstone that's seen it all.

Today, Dan's giving us practical advice for getting your home fall- and winter-ready — including whether solar generators are a smart move, what makes a good air purifier actually good, and why rain barrels and gas generators might deserve a second look.

This episode is for the doers, the fixers, the proud owners who want their homes to work for them — especially if you're part of our 50+ community looking to age safely, wisely, and comfortably in place.

So stay with us — you'll hear what to do now, what to plan for later, and maybe even a few tools Dan thinks every homeowner over 50 should have in the garage.

Let's get into it with Dan DiClerico, right here on Good Better Best.

That's going to wrap up our conversation with Dan DiClerico, and I hope you took away as much as I did—like why a solar generator might be more practical than you think, or how something as simple as sealing your windows could save you a bundle this winter.

Dan's advice is full of common sense, tested knowledge, and just enough gadget talk to keep it fun—and useful—for every homeowner, especially those of us looking to stay safe and comfortable in the years ahead.

If you'd like to hear more from Dan or check out his latest reviews and recommendations, head over to GoodHousekeeping.com, and of course, you can find this episode and all our previous conversations at notold-better.com.

Until next time—stay curious, stay well, and remember: it's not about being not old—it's about being better, as well as fully alive.
