Exclusive Interview With IFBB Figure Pro Julia Aragon!
Our next Rx Girl was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, and is currently living in El Paso, Texas. She works as a personal trainer and competes in Pro Figure events. Julia started lifting weights when she was 21 years old. She began because she felt she wanted to start doing some exercise and she really appreciated the gym training.
Women and Weights Over 50...
It's Never Too Late and It's Never Too Early to get started!
Happy 2014 RxGirls! Now that the holidays are over, it's time to get back on track with your workout routines!
I want to address a segment of women that may feel their needs may have been unaddressed or ignored in the past. As one of those tail end of the Baby Boom Generation (1946-1964) and as a personal trainer, I've found that many women approaching, in or past their 50's are more eager than ever to embrace exercise and maintain a certain level of fitness, health and energy.

Part I: Exercise-Induced Amenorrhea
Exercise-induced amenorrhea refers to the lack of monthly periods caused primarily by intense exercise. It occurs when a woman doesn't have a regular period either because she exercises too much, eats too few calories or both. In order to have regular periods women need to consume a certain number of calories and maintain around 16 percent body fat or more. If a woman has too little body fat the ovaries stop producing estrogen and the woman stops menstruating.
