Liz Fillipone and the Five Ages
Mon May 05 2025
🌟 Busy women, reclaim your time with a FREE home workout – your shortcut to strength and confidence! 💪✨ https://workwithjenshaver.com/
In this episode of the Fit News podcast, host Jen Shaver, a triple certified fitness expert specializing in midlife, welcomes back special guest Liz Fillipone. Liz, with 20 years of diverse experience in movement practices including yoga and strength conditioning, now focuses specifically on helping women and men aged 45 and over who experience physical discomfort. Her journey to this specialization was inspired by her own return to dance and observing older students thriving, leading her to research and educate herself on aging and movement. The episode introduces and explores the concept of the five ages: chronological, biological, functional, psychological, and social. While chronological age is fixed, the other four can be supported and shifted through lifestyle choices.
The discussion delves into how functional limitations, such as difficulty with daily movements like getting up from a chair or floor, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of a car, can profoundly affect the psychological and social ages, potentially leading to anxiety, embarrassment, or social withdrawal.
