Start Your Physical Glow-Up — At Any Age

There’s no glow-up without wellness.

We live in a world that still treats women differently based on how they look. And while we don’t have to agree with it — we have to understand the rules if we want to play smarter.

In The Private Edit, we deal with reality — not ideals.

Your energy, your health, your strength, your appearance… they shape how you experience the world.

And how the world responds to you.

The truth is: a more refined version of yourself starts with a well-functioning body.

And yes, at any age.

Let’s begin with the foundation. 👇

✧ Fitness Made Easy

Walking is one of the most underrated and powerful tools to upgrade your physical self — and it’s accessible.

Aim for 30 to 90 minutes daily.

Not just for the fat burn — but for your mind, your energy, and your nervous system.

Studies have shown that moderate-intensity walking reduces belly fat, improves mood, boosts cardiovascular health, and increases oxygenation — which regulates cortisol and supports digestion.

Whenever possible, walk outside. Breathe. Process. Expand.

If you have time, add a short dumbbell session when you return.

You don’t need to go to a gym.

I prefer working out from home — it’s less disruptive, more efficient, and no one tries to flirt with me mid-set.

✧ My Weekly Training Routine (for reference, not imitation)

Monday: Walk 30 min + Inner/outer thighs (my “hard to lose” area)

Tuesday: Long walk 1h (cardio focus)

Wednesday: Walk 30 min + Back & glutes

Thursday: Walk 30 min + Biceps & triceps

Friday: Walk 1h + Shoulders & abs

Start with full-body workouts if you’re new.

Later, when you reach a plateau or want to shape a specific area, split your workouts by muscle group.

And no — you don’t need a $300 program to start.

Head over to my Pinterest board GLOW UP BIBLE — it’s filled with free, curated routines for home or gym training.

Stick to the basics. They work.

✧ Eat Smart, Look Sharp

You can’t out-train a bad diet.

And most “healthy” meals are still too high in sugar, processed carbs, and seed oils.

Here’s what I recommend as suggestions but in doubt, go to a nutritionnist :

Cut sugar as much as possible.

Prioritize protein at every meal.

Stop eating by 6:00 PM (unless your lifestyle doesn’t allow it)

Minimum 3 cups of vegetables a day (raw or cooked)

Drink 2L of water daily — minimum

Reduce dairy if you feel bloated

Minimize gluten, especially if it makes you foggy or inflamed

Nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all, but inflammation and instability are universal enemies, so listen to your body.

✧ Supplements recommended by age (suggestion but it doesn't replace medical advice of course) :

This isn’t medical advice — but general, supportive recommendations based on real needs by decade.

In your 20s:

Omega-3

Magnesium glycinate

Vitamin D

Iron (if tired or menstruating heavily)

Probiotics

Collagen peptides (prevention)

In your 30s:

All of the above

Ashwagandha (for stress/adrenals)

B-complex (for hormonal balance)

Protein powder (to hit macros efficiently)

In your 40s:

Add CoQ10 (energy, heart)

Calcium (bone preservation)

DIM or inositol (if hormonally imbalanced)

L-glutamine (gut & lean muscle support)

In your 50s:

Omega-3 & calcium (increase doses)

Vitamin K2 + D3 (bone support)

Magnesium malate (energy + sleep)

Adaptogens (like Rhodiola)

In your 60s+:

Omega-3 & turmeric (joint health)

Collagen & vitamin C combo (skin elasticity)

Fiber supplement

Ginseng or lion’s mane (brain + memory)

You don’t need 15 bottles on the counter. But 4 or 5 solid ones — daily — will support everything else you do.

✧ Final Thoughts

Your goal is not to chase a specific number.

Your goal is to build a body that works for you, not against you.

A body that reflects how seriously you take your life.

No matter your starting point. No matter your age.

And when your energy sharpens, your posture changes, your clothes fit differently — you’ll see it.

The world will, too. 💗
