30 YEARS APART… AND STILL GOING STRONG AT 70. 🔥
Betty Pariso has been part of the women’s fitness and bodybuilding world for decades — long before strength training for women became as mainstream as it is today.
She says she began training with weights in 1986, when she was often one of the only women in the gym — and sometimes the only woman using free weights.
Now, at 70 years old, she is still living the lifestyle.
The first photo shows Betty at 40.
The second shows her today at 70.
And perhaps the most impressive part isn’t simply how she looks.
It’s the 30+ years of consistency behind it.
Betty says she now looks around the gym and sees younger generations of strong, fit women training — and instead of feeling like her time has passed, they motivate her to keep going.
That may be one of the greatest lessons about aging:
Fitness doesn’t have to be something we finish. It can become part of who we are for life.
At Aging Evolution, we believe longevity isn’t about trying to stay 40 forever. It’s about doing everything possible to remain strong, capable, confident and engaged with life as the years pass.
Betty Pariso at 70 is an extremely remarkable example.
What impresses you more — the way Betty looks at 70, or the fact that she has stayed committed to fitness for nearly four decades?
