Nicky Stryis shares her top fitness tips for staying strong over 50, including the importance of mindset and facing life’s challenges.

We also hear from Eugene Bareman of City Kickboxing about his new charity, The Walk Without Fear Trust, and how it’s helping people feel safer in their communities, as well as the role social media plays. 

Plus, Brodie Kane returns to talk about managing her mindset and staying grounded in the present.
