With one of the largest Summer holidays taking place next week, many of us have a number of activities that we will partake in for the 4th of July! Whether it’s a rooftop party, a backyard barbecue, or laying out on the beach - the options are endless! We tend to find ourselves taking in our local fireworks as well as those that are presented via Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks which will be live from the Brooklyn Bridge (that includes fireworks off this iconic bridge and 4 barges that are on the lower East River in the Seaport District)! If you’re watching via broadcast, you can catch them on NBC at 8pm ET (the encore presentation will air on 10pm ET) or stream it on Peacock!
For the 49th edition of this show there will be an array of acts prior to the big show in the sky which will include the Jonas Brothers, Eric Church, Lenny Kravitz, Ava Max, Keke Palmer, and Trisha Yearwood. This year’s event will be hosted by Ariana DeBose and the musical score for the fireworks is created by Ahmir Questlove Thompson and James Poyser.
This year’s show will have more than 80.000 shells, 30 vibrant colors and of course effects that will include state-of-the-art projection mapping on the Brooklyn Bridge. We all have our favorite pyrotechnic effects such as the crackling crown jellyfish, atomic rings, yellow and green sunbursts and so much more!

Entering your 60s presents a unique opportunity to embrace wellness with intention and wisdom. Most women at this age often discover that focusing on what truly makes them feel strong, mentally sharp, and comfortable in their own skin becomes a priority, redefining what women's fitness means for this stage of life.
The beauty of wellness at this stage lies in its simplicity. You don't need high-impact movements to see real benefits—small, consistent habits tend to create the most meaningful changes. A morning walk in fresh air, a nourishing breakfast prepared with care, or a few minutes of quiet reflection can set a positive tone that carries through the entire day.
Whether you're starting fresh on your wellness journey or looking to maintain momentum with existing healthy habits, these approaches can help you create a sustainable routine that honors where you are in life while supporting where you want to go.
Embracing physical activity can help support healthy aging and improve strength, balance, and mobility. For women over 60, low-impact options like walking or water aerobics are easy on the joints, making them particularly beneficial for those dealing with joint issues. These activities can also support heart health and reduce stiffness without being overly demanding, which is especially important for those managing medical conditions.
Muscle-strengthening activities are also crucial to have in your exercise routine. Light resistance training, yoga, or bodyweight exercises can help maintain muscle mass and keep the body strong and steady. These movements can help support posture, make daily tasks easier, and reduce the risk of injury. Installing a fitness app can help you stay consistent.
Joining a local wellness center is another option. For example, at the Wollongong-based health and wellness clinic SAVVY, their physiotherapists provide holistic, targeted treatment plans that support recovery, prevent injury, and optimize physical outcomes. Professionals and personal trainers help ensure your wellness approach supports your body's current capabilities while working toward your goals.
Mornings can set the tone for everything that follows. Waking up at a regular time and starting the day with light activity, for example, can help the body and mind feel more alert. Some women find that a few minutes of stretching helps loosen stiff muscles and improve circulation, while others prefer stepping outside for a short walk to breathe in fresh air and ease into the morning.
Creating a calming ritual—whether it's practicing deep breathing or simply enjoying a quiet cup of tea—can provide mental clarity before daily responsibilities take over. These morning practices don't need to be long or complex. The key is starting with intention and building a rhythm that feels both consistent and nurturing.
Caring for your mental and emotional well-being is important, too. While strength training and nutrition support the body, small daily practices can help calm the mind and ease emotional tension. Simple habits like journaling, practicing gratitude, or sitting quietly for a few minutes can offer a chance to slow down and refocus.
Building healthy relationships can also strengthen emotional well-being. Regular chats with friends, joining a community group, or participating in an online fitness coach-led class can help reduce loneliness and lift the spirit. These connections offer encouragement and remind women that wellness is easier when it's shared.
Eating well plays a major role in feeling energized and maintaining physical fitness. Meals built around colorful fruits, leafy vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains provide the essential nutrients needed for strong bones and overall health. These nutrient-dense foods fuel the body while delivering steady energy that lasts throughout the day.
In addition to eating well, staying hydrated is just as vital. As people age, the sense of thirst may become less noticeable, so it helps to be more intentional about fluid intake. Drinking enough water can feel easier when it comes from a mix of sources. Soups, herbal teas, and water-rich foods like cucumbers or oranges can all contribute to daily hydration without adding extra effort.
Stress can take different forms, such as tense muscles, poor sleep, or changes in appetite. Calming activities may offer a simple way to help the body relax and reset, which is a crucial part of staying well. Deep breathing, gardening, or spending time outdoors, for instance, can bring a sense of peace and help quiet the mind.
Creative tasks can also offer relief from daily pressures. Engaging in hobbies like painting, writing, or listening to music can shift attention away from worry and encourage a more relaxed state. A few quiet minutes each day can help you feel more grounded and better prepared for the day.
Sleep can affect your energy, mood, and even the body's ability to recover after physical activity. As women age, however, getting consistent rest can become more challenging. That's why building a calming evening routine and following a regular sleep schedule becomes even more critical.
To support this routine, avoid screens before bedtime and choose relaxing activities instead. Gentle options like reading, listening to soft music, or taking a warm bath can signal to the body that it's time to rest.
In addition, keeping the bedroom cool, dark, and quiet can help create an environment that encourages quality sleep. With time, better rest can improve focus, lower stress levels, and greater physical resilience.
Building a wellness routine in your 60s is about creating good habits, supporting your health, and bringing balance to each day. Whether you're walking for strength, eating to nourish your body, or setting time aside to rest and reflect, every choice adds to your overall well-being and helps maintain your passion for life.
With consistency and care, wellness can become something older adults can grow into. Even small changes can lead to more energy, a better mood, and greater confidence in moving through each day.
