Kick-Ass Kim
In the beginning of May, I posted a video of my Mom (age 62) performing her weekly workout HERE. The video was very well-received, and it seems that older women get inspired from watching training videos such as these. Therefore, I decided to film some footage of my stepmom Kim (age 60) performing a recent workout. Kim used to train with me at my gym Lifts back in the day, but she hasn’t trained hard since them. She’s now been training with me twice per week for three months and her strength has already far surpassed what she could do several years ago. She’s setting PR’s every week, which is very fun to witness as a trainer.
Currently, Kim can do:
10 hip thrusts with 155 lbs
30 deadlifts with the 106 lb kettlebell
5 goblet squats with a 50 lb dumbbell
10 back extensions with a 40 lb dumbbell
12 military presses with a 45 lb barbell
10 bodyweight push ups
Hopefully this video provides some evidence that women can gain plenty of strength and improve their fitness even in their 60’s. Thanks for watching!
