Staying Active and Healthy after 50 is vital for longevity and ageing in a positive and well balanced way.
In this episode, my guest is Jennifer Jones from The Retirement Phase. I first met Jennifer about 9 years ago. We were both Australian bloggers and have maintained a blogging friendship since then.
A fun fact – we have never met in person and I had never heard Jen’s voice until this episode!
I’ve long been inspired by Jennifer and her commitment to her health and wellbeing and now at 70 she is still going strong. She is a powerhouse but equally a beautiful soul and I enjoyed chatting with her.
Jen is also a co-host for our monthly Wellness Reimagined Link Up. A place for us to write about our own health and wellness ideas as well as sharing our goals to help us stay accountable.
During the episode we discussed:
- Jen’s background with health and fitness
- Her current workout routine now that she is retired – what changes she has made to her exercise program.
- Wisdom that she has developed about staying fit and healthy in aging
- What being a Woman Living Well After 50 means to her

Meet Jennifer Jones
I’m a lifelong exerciser who started my fitness journey at age 30 and, at 71, I’m still going strong. As a mum of adult children, with a busy lifestyle, even in retirement, I have always made exercise a priority, no matter what it takes. Over the years, my approach to fitness has evolved, but my commitment to staying active has never wavered.
I love weight training, cycling (both indoors and outdoors), and walking my toy poodle, Oscar. This stage of life is my time to focus on myself, and I am living the active, fulfilling life I always aspired to after retirement. Staying happy, healthy, and fit allows me to do just that.
Through my journey, I hope to inspire midlife women to realize their potential and embrace an active lifestyle. I truly believe that exercise can enhance well-being, boost confidence, and open the door to new possibilities, at any age.

Jen has so much knowledge and wisdom to impart. I think I will as her to be a guest again as we only touched on ways we can stay active and healthy. x
We all need this kind of encouragement that life isn’t over just because we’re aging. Thanks for sharing Jennifer with us!
Hi Lisa, Jennifer is so wise and has a great depth of knowledge. I really enjoyed our conversation. x
What an inspiration! I loved the making lists. I think that may be just what I need to get started on my fitness journey. I’ve lost the weight (or at least most of it). Now, I need to get my body stronger. Thanks, Sue, for another wonderful podcast.
