Join Risa as she sits down with Shebah Carfagna, a remarkable 68-year-old fitness trainer and co-creator of the Ageless Workout Method, who proves that age is just a number. Despite having two hip replacements and raising an autistic son as a single mother, Shebah has built a thriving career helping seniors discover that movement and exercise can transform their golden years.
In this inspiring conversation, Shebah shares:
How she transitioned from corporate fundraising to fitness training at age 42
The simple "15-minute rule" that can transform anyone's health journey
Practical advice for seniors who haven't exercised in years or decades
Her honest experience with hip replacement surgery and recovery
Why she believes aging is a gift, not something to fear
How the broken healthcare system makes movement even more crucial
Whether you're in your 50s, 60s, 70s, or beyond, Shebah's philosophy of "better habits for a better quality of life for enhanced longevity" offers hope and practical steps for anyone looking to reclaim their health and vitality. Learn about functional movements, the importance of "prehab," and how small, achievable goals can lead to life-changing results.
