She started lifting weights at 43. She’s 53 now.
Before weight training, she had already lost a lot of weight through under-eating and excessive cardio. She had great cardiovascular endurance, but very little muscle.
When she first came to the gym, her goals were simple: get stronger and get rid of her joint pain.
Then she fell in love with lifting.
10 years later, she’s stronger, has built an incredible amount of muscle, competed on a bodybuilding stage, and lives a completely different lifestyle.
And the best part? She started at 43.
So if you think 43 is too old to start, it’s not.
53 isn’t too old.
75 isn’t too old.
That’s one of the most beautiful things about the gym. You don’t have to be young, athletic, or experienced to walk through those doors.
You can start where you are, lift what you can, and get stronger from there. ❤️ 💪🏼
