• To rebuild my strength and mobility
  • To feel good in my body again
  • To age with power, not fear
  • To play 90 minutes of soccer
  • And to inspire others—especially women over 50—who are ready to do the same

Hi and welcome to my very first post!

I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Gina, and I’m a woman in my 60s who’s on a mission: to rebuild my strength, energy, and joy through soccer and fitness—and to bring others along with me.

For years, I was an active woman. Soccer, weight training, surfing—you name it, I loved it. Movement was a natural part of my life. But somewhere along the way, life got heavy. A high-stress, full-time desk job consumed my time and energy, and before I knew it, fitness wasn’t part of my daily routine anymore. I felt disconnected from myself and from the strong, capable body I once trusted.

Now, I’m hitting restart—not to chase who I was, but to create something even better.

This blog is where I’ll share my honest journey of coming back to fitness after a long break. The good days, the hard days, and everything in between. My goals are simple:

  • To rebuild my strength and mobility
  • To feel good in my body again
  • To age with power, not fear
  • To play 90 minutes of soccer
  • And to inspire others—especially women over 50—who are ready to do the same

I know how overwhelming it can feel to start over. The fitness world often overlooks people our age or expects us to settle for less. But I believe it’s never too late to get strong, healthy, and energized—and that we deserve more than “gentle stretching and light walks” if we want more.

Whether you’re restarting after years away, recovering from injury, or just feeling stuck—I want you to know you’re not alone. I’m right there with you. I’ll be sharing workouts, motivation, mindset shifts, and real talk about what it takes to reclaim your health and confidence in your 50s, 60s, and beyond.

Follow along here on the blog, or join me on Instagram @ lp_soccer.fitness where I’ll be posting regular updates, videos, and behind-the-scenes moments of my journey.

Let’s show the world what strong at any age looks like.

Thanks for being here—and I hope you’ll walk and kick (and squat!) this path with me.

With strength and gratitude,
Gina
