Look at grandma’s guns: At 97, she flexes her muscle at Tampa Bay competition

[@DJHazeJams]

She looks amazing at 97. Incredible what staying fit can do for you

[@DimiArt]

and still so well spoken

[@kriptionite8412]

Yeah, her eyes are so bright for her age!

[@jazzya7383]

I agree! She is an inspiration.

Staying fit and roids.

[@FallouFitness_NattyEdition]

Doesn't matter whether it's yoga, crossfit, martial arts, or lifting heavy, there's always a benefit to exercise at any age.

[@BrianJHilliard]

Facts!

[@victorsaltos5678]

What you put into your body goes along way as well

[@heidimiller5475]

Well, it does matter. Weight lifting is the one exercise that strengthens our bones. That really matters as we age. Most elderly people break bones at least once as they age. The nurses tell me they are a lot of elderly people in hospital after they fall and break their hips and arms. Weight lifting has the power to prevent that.

[@heidimiller5475]

@@victorsaltos5678 yes, of course. We have the power to heal our bodies with the foods we eat.

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

Incredible, living proof you are never too old to exercise and experience the benefits in body and mind.

LMAO....'that's the last time I went back to that doctor'....this lady rocks

[@sharks3010]

97?! If I didn't know any better I'd say she looks mid sixties max. Well done to her, she's obviously doing something right! 👏👍💪

[@Neophema]

She looks great, but let's not push it... hehe. I'd say more like mid 80s.

[@Brandiisbeloved]

I worked in a nursing home have seen mid sixties and seventies look like her. Also my roommate is 60 and has very aged skin in the face but her body is great.

[@clownboyyyy]

@@Neophema she definitely looks like she's in her sixties, my dad is about to hit 70 and they look comparable

[@jesussandoval8756]

@@Neophema nah my grandma is 74 and she looks like the woman in the video.

[@loriclark553]

I would guess 77 - 82 but still, no way does she look almost 100!!

[@improvementTime10.3.17]

2:05 injured back, doctor tells her no more weightlifting anymore, they set you on a sedentary path which is what steals years off your life She didn’t go back to that doctor, kept her desire and goals alive and looked fo those who could help her get there

[@iced8erg]

no more weight lifting lady, just go sedentary and keep coming back to me once a month i'll prescibe you some pills (that'll slowly/SOFTLY kills you, muhaha i dont care as long as you get addicted to it it's money for me!!) that'll ease your symptomps. and that very doctor for some reason is borderline or.. is obese. tldr theyre the best at suppressing symptomps but worst at prevention for their own gain $$$

[@fusspot57]

I love you, Edith! I'm coming on 64 and started powerlifting nearly 3 years ago. I love it. The pandemic hasn't helped but I so want to do a competition, on my bucket list so to speak, to participate for fun. Sadly there are not so many women my age who like to do this in the UK (it seems). All the competition entries are mostly much much younger (and stronger) but I just want to experience it and challenge myself!

[@ladyc9188]

Go for it! I’m interested in pursuing powerlifting, being of a certain age too.

[@raquelsilvaandrade7380]

Bora! Garota!

[@DrJPHD]

Great work.Keep pushing for a competition there in the UK, and plan to come for the Tampa Bay competition.

[@noutram1000]

This is very inspirational, at 54 and still going the gym I now feel like a 'youngster' again compared with this lot!

The fact that they have been together for 65 years is truly beautiful.

Elaine LaLanne, the widow of the Godfather of Fitness, Jack LaLanne, turns 95 this month and she is in great shape both physically and mentally. She posts on Facebook all the time.

[@Bubblegumswitch]

Awesome! Love that when she said after her accident she asked the dr when can she go back to lifting, and he told her “no no no, that is done”...she never went back to that doctor! 😂

[@Sushila..]

Yes, you're never to old to get in to powerlifting! 💪

[@asunraychan]

She looks much younger than 97 years old. When my great grandmother was 90 years old, she can barely walk. But this grandma can still lift the weight. I hope I can be fit as her when I am growing old.

[@righteousfroce1254]

yeah she dose look much younger then 97. I would think she was joking with me if she said she was 97. Sometimes old people exaggerate thier age.

Back surgery fixed it and since then I've turned my health trajectory around. I feel better now than I have in years and never plan to stop. Age is just a number! 💪

she def looks 20 years younger than her actual age...inspiring when she could make every excuse or even valid reason to not lift...but yet she was gettin it done

[@lilpoohbear653]

most seniors watch 8 hours of tv per day with little to no exercise...she is spending her time working on something else...something that empowers her and something that is strengthening her body and mind. She is a great example to those of us in our 60's who are fighting that mindgame!! Geezers of the world UNITE...no excuses do something...anything!!!

[@heidimiller5475]

The reason we do weight lifting is for ourselves. We don't do this for anyone else except ourselves. It's the one hobby we can do that makes our quality of life improve. It's no wonder our enemies get so angry at us for spending our time weight lifting because we do this just for us. We are not spending our time enriching them. So they get mad, because they are used to forcing us to take care of them instead of ourselves. Or they feel threatened because they are accustomed to hitting us until they get their own way. They are not accustomed to us being physically strong. Everytime I do weight lifting, my doctors tell me I have diabetes because they are afraid I will get strong. They try to force me to loose weight by frightening me with medical problems. It has happened every time I purchase a subscription to the gym. So I get really excited when I see elderly people weight lifting because I know I can continue to build up muscle as I get older, just like them.
