How these women over 60 are setting fitness goals to inspire

Veteran actress Zeenat Aman (72) is setting a new trend in fitness for women over 60 as she recently shared photos of herself working out on a treadmill at home. With a caption that read ‘no more excuses’, Zeenat Aman is inspiring many to prioritize their health and embark on a fitness journey regardless of age.

According to Dr P Venkata Krishnan, a senior consultant in internal medicine at Artemis Hospitals in Gurgaon, regular exercise not only helps in weight management but also reduces the risk of chronic ailments like diabetes and heart disease. Additionally, exercise promotes mental well-being by releasing endorphins, reducing stress, and improving sleep.

Zeenat Aman is not the only one in the spotlight for her dedication to fitness. Ayesha Shroff, entrepreneur and mother of two, is also making waves at 63 with her weight training routine. She recently shared a video of herself doing a 95 kg deadlift, impressing many including her daughter Krishna and actress Disha Patani.

Other fitness icons in their 60s and 70s include Pinkie Roshan, Anita Raaj, and Sangeeta Bijlani, who all prioritize strength training, cardio, and other forms of exercise to stay fit and healthy.

While it is inspiring to see these women crushing their fitness goals, experts like Dr Shubhangi Kanitkar and Dr Kritika Bolia emphasize the importance of consulting healthcare professionals before starting a new fitness regime. They also stress the need for a balanced workout routine, adequate nutrition, and rest to prevent injuries and maintain overall health.

So, if you’re on the other side of 60 and looking to improve your fitness, take a cue from these inspiring women and prioritize your health and well-being. Remember, age is just a number when it comes to staying fit and healthy.
