In Episode 228 of the Six Weeks to Fitness podcast, we had the privilege of welcoming a true force of nature—Carol Glasgow. At 61 years young, Carol is shattering stereotypes and proving that strength, elegance, and age can absolutely co-exist. A 4th Degree Black Belt in Hapkido, self-defense and kickboxing instructor, and founder of Kick Fever Fitness, Carol embodies what it means to age powerfully and purposefully.
Born and raised in London, Carol was an athlete from an early age, later relocating to the gritty streets of Brooklyn, New York. There, she honed her craft in the martial arts world—an arena often dominated by men—and emerged as a respected leader and inspiration for women of all ages.
During the interview, Carol shared how martial arts gave her more than just physical strength. It taught her discipline, perseverance, and self-belief. From earning her first black belt in 2001 to her 4th degree in 2024, she emphasized that the journey was never just about the belts—it was about personal growth, patience, and becoming the best version of herself.
Carol also delved into the mental and emotional benefits of martial arts for women, especially in a world where self-defense is more critical than ever. Her insights into confidence-building, body awareness, and emotional resilience resonated deeply. And yes—she even revealed her secrets to maintaining her chiseled six-pack abs, proving once again that age is merely a number.
With nearly 30 years in the game, Carol continues to change lives through her fitness brand, Kick Fever Fitness. Her passion for helping women embrace both their femininity and fierceness is contagious—and her message is clear: You’re never too old to start, and you’re far stronger than you think.
If you’re seeking inspiration, empowerment, or just a reminder of what’s possible with heart and hustle, don’t miss this episode. Carol Glasgow is living proof that powerful women never age—they evolve.
