Strong at 65. Stronger at 70.

What Ellie Hickey found instead got her back on the water — rowing out of Cohasset Harbor at 66, pressing 25 pounds overhead with the arm she once couldn't raise, and winning the gym's body composition challenge she was nervous to even weigh in for. Bobby and Maria talk with Ellie about strength training after 60, her husband's comeback from bypass surgery, four generations of an active family, and why her plan is simple: strong at 65, stronger at 70.Chapters:0:00 Meet member Ellie Hickey1:03 Rowing at 62, joining at 652:49 Rowing out of Cohasset Harbor3:53 From runner to rower4:37 Googling "gym for older people"5:58 Shoulder comeback: 25 lbs overhead6:26 Bypass surgery & why strength matters9:04 Four generations of movement10:30 The "young gram" motivation12:48 Muscle up, fat down14:22 Processed foods challenge16:16 You get to go to the gym17:57 Saturday mobility class19:19 Stairs & grocery bag wins22:47 First-day nerves24:48 How new members start27:29 Wrap-up & contact infoThe Big Day Fitness Show helps adults over 40 move better, get stronger, and live bigger.
