Wellness Strategist Shares How To Stay Slim After 50 - Ellen Barrett and Lily Patrascu



Ellen Barrett, a globally recognized women’s wellness strategist, holistic fitness advisor, and pioneering leader in mind–body movement, has built an international following through her bestselling fitness DVDs—including Crunch Fat-Burning Pilates and Yogini Workout—as well as her major visibility on Fit TV’s All-Star Workouts. She is the creator of Fusion Fitness and the founder of Let’s Move, a thriving online movement studio dedicated to helping women achieve long-term vitality, alignment, and confidence at every age.

Ellen teaches that staying slim and strong after 50 is not about harsh workouts but about creating sustainable habits that support the body’s natural rhythms—hydration, early dinners, daily aligned movement, and restorative sleep. She explains that soothing disciplines such as Pilates, yoga, walking, dancing, and moderate cardio nurture the metabolism, protect joints, and calm the nervous system. Her philosophy emphasizes mindful movement, lighter weights, and functional flow to prevent injury and maintain energy for life. Through her work, she shows women that a slim waist and vibrant health after 50 come from consistent lifestyle alignment, self-kindness, and movement that strengthens rather than stresses the body.
