In Fitness at Midlife for Health and Longevity, Amanda Thebe will explore how movement in midlife can be one of the most powerful tools for long-term health, independence, and quality of life.

This talk focuses on what actually matters as we age—building strength, protecting bone health, supporting metabolic function, and reducing the risk of chronic disease—without chasing unrealistic fitness ideals. Designed for women navigating midlife and menopause, the session offers practical, evidence-informed guidance on how to train smarter, adapt to changing bodies, and use fitness as a foundation for longevity rather than punishment.

Empowering, realistic, and deeply motivating, this conversation reframes fitness as an investment in future health—helping women move through midlife with strength, confidence, and resilience.
