Navigating Social Media Instagram Tips for Women 40+

I’ve got Instagram tips for women! What if we could make social media more midlife friendly for you? What if it was more than a rabbit hole, something that made you feel bad or fill in the blank not ________ enough? What if you were the boss of it? This is such an off topic. Stay with me.

Social media is here to stay. It can be midlife friendly if you know how to use it. Today we talk Instagram, with a woman also flipping 50 who no doubt has our backs. She’s an expert’s expert. That is she trains entrepreneurs and business owners and influencers how to use Instagram better.

So I thought, why can’t she also train you? I asked her to share a few tips for using it wisely, for information you do vs the time-waste you don’t.

Sue B is one of us… and and literally THE GOAT for IG tips so it’s going to continue to ‘age’ for us and more and more of our audience are on Instagram. It’s pretty, it’s quirky, it’s entertaining and it’s becoming more and more like a search engine.

More Tips for Walking Effectiveness and Comfort

How to prevent tightness in hip/low back? What would cause lower back pain while walking?
Lower back pain can be prevented with improvements in walking posture. Imagine a tall posture, leaning forward from the ankles. The biggest mistake is made leaning from the waist.
Your fascia – the layer of ligamentous tissue covering your muscles – essentially stiffens. Change the gait or stop and stretch periodically.
Find warmups at my Youtube channel.

Long strides or short?
Yes! Based on the previous response, you want to mix it up.

Best posture while walking up a hill? Saving our knees?
I’m not sure these are the same question or separate, so I may misinterpret in my response. You maintain the same forward angle from the ankle as when on a flat. Avoid bending forward from the waist or the neck.

Best walking routine to burn the most fat in a shorter period of time?
This one completely depends! If you want to burn fat you have to be in an optimal cortisol and insulin dance. I could tell you a routine that for someone would support fat burning but for you might encourage fat storage or adrenal fatigue.

For Osteoporosis – [This question is not quite clear but doing my best]
Walk, but don’t only walk. We are mobile during the day so more of the same load doesn’t overload bone enough to add more stimulus.
