Tackle weight loss in the new year with these supplements, workout clothes, and equipment!
When the clock strikes midnight on December 31 and the New Year begins, many people are thinking about their goals and resolutions for the next 365 days. For some, that might be eating a more balanced diet. For others, those goals are weight loss. If you’re an older woman who wants to lose weight in the new year, we’ve found some tools that can help including supplements, workout clothing, and at-home workout equipment. Get started on the right foot with the right tools and tackle weight loss with ease in 2024!
Importance of staying active for women
Being active doesn’t solely have to be about losing weight. As we age, we can lose mobility and other abilities we once had. Staying active can help combat that! Sticking to a workout routine can help prevent certain health conditions and reduce the risk of falls, all of which can allow you to maintain your independence longer later in life.
Supplements that may help with weight loss
While not backed by the Food and Drug Administration, many people incorporate supplements into their weight loss plan because they may improve overall health and help manage some health conditions like heart disease and vision loss, among other things. Before starting on any kind of supplement, consult with your doctor first to see if they’re right for you.

Workout equipment and recovery tools that can help on your weight loss journey
No gym membership? No worries! There are plenty of free workout programs you can access through YouTube and other online platforms and apps. But you’ll need the right equipment. Before you choose the workout equipment that’s right for you, consider the following:
How to choose at-home workout equipment that’s right for you
- What are your goals? Do you want to tone muscle, lose weight, or both? After talking with your doctor about your fitness goals and any limitations you might have, you’ll be better equipped to choose the equipment that’s right for you.
- How much space do you have? Consider where you’ll be working out, as this will impact the kind of equipment you invest in (as well as how much!).
- What is your budget? You don’t have to buy expensive equipment to stay in shape, but if your budget allows for it and you prefer equipment with all the bells and whistles, there are plenty of expensive options out there!
Below are some of our favorites to make working out at home fun and easy. Plus, we’ve included some of our favorite tools for recovery, too!
