When I hit my 60s, my mum—who was about 27kg overweight and had some health problems—needed assistance from healthcare workers to move around. As I watched her over the years, I feared I'd end up in the same boat. That motivated me to continue to keep myself at a healthy weight to stay mobile throughout my life.

The article from Women's Health UK discusses the body transformation journey of a woman in her 70s, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of fitness at an older age. It details how she overcame age-related stereotypes and physical limitations to achieve significant improvements in her health and physique. The narrative includes her motivation stemming from a desire to remain active and independent, her training regimen tailored to her age group, focusing on strength, flexibility, and balance, and the emotional and physical benefits she experienced. The piece also touches on the importance of nutrition, community support, and the psychological boost from setting and achieving fitness goals, inspiring others that age is just a number when it comes to personal fitness transformations.
