Grit is Prescribed: Strong at 40 and Beyond
Description
“Nothing great is going to come from your comfort zone. Some days 30% is all you have—but if you give that 30%, that’s 100% of what you can do that day.” -Ash Solorio
What if the most powerful “anti-aging” prescription for women in their 40s and beyond isn’t a cream or a supplement—but a barbell?
In this episode, Kylie sits down with neighbor and friend Ash Solorio, Air Force veteran, former San Francisco 49ers cheerleader, and founder of GritRx, a fitness gear brand built around one core belief: grit is prescribed. Ash shares how strength became part of her identity from childhood dance classes to military training at 4 a.m., and what it really took to earn a spot as a professional cheerleader on Monday Night Football.
Together, they break down why resistance training is non‑negotiable for women as we age—think bone density, balance, heart health, body composition, and staying active with your kids and grandkids. Ash offers practical, judgment‑free ways to start strength training (even if the weight room terrifies you), simple at-home movements, and recovery tips that help you feel strong instead of “old.” They also dive into the mindset side: why grit often looks like giving 30% on a hard day—if that’s 100% of what you’ve got.
