In this episode, host Lisa DuPree shares what it’s like to be six weeks out from her first-ever bodybuilding competition at 59 years old. The moment it got real when she hit “submit” on her registration and realized she’d be competing against women decades younger. Cue the mini meltdown (understandably), but instead of backing down, Lisa leans into what she teaches: mindset, perspective, and the power of showing up for yourself.
She breaks down the difference between outcome goals (like winning a trophy) and performance goals (like staying consistent, and training with intention). Whether you are new to strength training, chasing a big goal, or just trying to stay energized in midlife, this episode delivers some no-nonsense talk with practical takeaways. It’s proof that midlife isn’t the end of the road, it’s just getting interesting.
