The best anti-aging workout for women 40+ look very different than workouts recommended when you were 30. For living longer stronger, you've want to have:
strength (and power)
mobility
optimal V02 max (cardiovascular fitness)
mobility
balance (really, stability)
agility (reaction skills)
It doesn't have to be a "day job" either! You can tuck balance and agility into VO2-improving HIIT or into a strength training day.
The key here is to exercise in a way that allows you to MOVE more all day, and to REDUCE OXIDATIVE STRESS that just "more exercise" can cause.

I’ve been watching awhile now and I agree with you! And you look fabulous!
I would love to know what supplements you take as you mentioned in the video.
I’ve been doing your 20 min full body weight routine followed by your 15 min arm routine at least 2-3 times a week and definitely feel like I’m getting stronger! Love your follow along videos, thank you!
That was really fantastic, Debra. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Debra, I am so excited when your videos come out. I am learning so much, but I wanted to ask you about the men in our lives too. My husband and I exercise together at the gym, but he thinks doing cardio all the time is the way to go. So we do have some friendly banter now and again when I watch your videos. I understand this is for women over 40 but I think that men could follow this as well and I am thinking after this last video, may be able to get him around to not doing as much cardio as he is getting injured around his hips and knees. But I wanted to check with you as well, before I showed him this video. We both go to our local gym as we feel that the social aspect is good, just being around others and sometimes go out for coffee and a smoothie after. I would also love to see what supplements you take or recommend. Appreciated what you are doing, thanks.
Such great information – thank you!
