A 54-YEAR-OLD woman shared her unbothered response to haters who criticise her active hobbies.
The fitness fanatic explained that she enjoys gym sessions and practising her acrobatic moves.
In her viral video, the TikTok user who goes by Kerry Gold (@kerrygoldfitness) showed off her impressive core strength.
She explained that people often tell her to act her age when she shows off her impressive body.
In response, the TikToker demonstrated some of her moves on a circus hoop.
She did so while modelling a sequined skin-tight bodysuit that showed off her toned physique.
The acrobat, who also enjoys pole dancing, used her upped body strength as she hung from the hoop.
At one point, she let go with her hands and held on using her muscular legs.
She explained that she would continue doing what makes her happy despite what her haters have to say.
“I love getting older,” the fitness fan told her followers.
“My aim now is, as long as I’m not hurting anyone, to have as much fun as possible,” she wrote in the clip’s caption.
She regularly shares content showing her unique workouts, including dancing moves.
The TikToker revealed that it is her goal to inspire other older women to pursue their own fitness journeys.
Her followers shared their thoughts on her impressive hobby in the comments section.
“You are a freaking queen,” wrote one impressed TikTok user.
“You are so beautiful and look very happy having fun!!” said another viewer.
“Thank you for inspiring women of all ages everywhere! BOOM!!” commented a third person.
As we age, maintaining physical fitness becomes increasingly crucial, and weight training plays a pivotal role in promoting overall health and well-being. One of the primary benefits of weight training for older adults is the preservation and enhancement of muscle mass. Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, is a common issue that can lead to decreased mobility, increased risk of falls, and a general decline in physical function. Engaging in regular weight training helps to counteract these effects by stimulating muscle growth and improving muscular strength, thereby enhancing an individual’s ability to perform daily activities with greater ease and independence.
In addition to its impact on muscle mass, weight training also significantly contributes to bone health. Osteoporosis, characterized by weakened and brittle bones, is another prevalent concern among older adults. Weight-bearing exercises, such as lifting weights, promote bone density by applying stress to the bones, which in turn stimulates the production of new bone tissue. This can help reduce the risk of fractures and other bone-related injuries, fostering a more active and injury-free lifestyle.
Weight training also offers substantial metabolic benefits, which are especially important as metabolism tends to slow down with age. By increasing muscle mass, weight training boosts the resting metabolic rate, meaning the body burns more calories even at rest. This can aid in weight management and reduce the risk of metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, weight training has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, enhance lipid profiles, and reduce inflammation, all of which contribute to a healthier metabolic state.
“I’m 46 and out of shape the last 10 years. You have just inspired me,” said another commenter.
“Jaw dropping! GO GIRL!” wrote one viewer.
“My dream is to be like this in my 50s! I’m starting now in my early 40s, inspiring,” commented another person.
“I don’t know you but I’m so proud of you!! You are goals!!” said one follower.
“Good lawd, girl! Brava!!! I’m 53 and I’m not sure I could hang from that bar, sadly. So beautiful,” wrote another viewer.
