We have several women at NUMA who are in their 50’s and 60’s. Sometimes I get asked shyly, “Nikki, am I the oldest person here??” Sometimes maintaining fitness while aging can bring a sense of hesitancy or lack of confidence. It can cause women to compare and question if they can “fit in” or keep up with the younger women. Ladies, this is not important! I think women of all ages need to KNOW their SIGNIFICANCE in a community like NUMA. To me, our variety of ages adds so much VALUE to NUMA!
At NUMA, we have members as young as in their early 20’s and on up through their 60’s. We have singles, newlyweds, married couples, parents, and grandparents. Multigenerational classes have so much to offer!
If you are mature women worried if you will be able to keep up with the young ones, you need to know just how important you are to all of us watching! We are looking to you for POSITIVE examples of how to live a healthy life no matter what age. We think and say things like, “As I get older, I want to live like HER!” We are INSPIRED!! In a world that is full of sickness and excuses, having healthy role models to look up to encourages us! You show us that we can do it, too, and that there is a lot to look forward to!
So, if you are not feeling like a spring chicken anymore 😉 I hope you are reminded of your VALUE! Your life is an example to all of us you are ahead on this journey. Your maturity, life lessons, stories, advice, wisdom, encouragement, strength, optimism, dedication and discipline are soaked up by us all who want to learn how to live our lives WELL…just as you are!
Much love!
Nikki
