In your viral videoTikTok user Harrah Brown (@harrahbrown) explained the circumstances that led to his lifestyle change.

She revealed that she got divorced at age 60 and dedicated years to getting in shape.

The author now uses her online platform to encourage others to achieve the body of their dreams, regardless of age.

“Lifting weights has renewed my strength, my spirit and my confidence at age 62,” she told the audience.

Harrah could be seen lifting a kettlebell over her head while posing in an olive green sports bra and matching leggings.

The grandmother’s toned abs were clearly visible as she performed the exercise with apparent ease.

In a second clipshe shared her plans to celebrate her upcoming birthday.

“Preparing now for my 65th birthday photo shoot, you’re never too old,” she told the audience.

Harrah posted the inspiring advice alongside a clip of her working out at the gym.

This time, the TikToker had her back to the camera, showing off her muscular back as she did a series of push-ups.

I’m fat and mean, trolls say I’m eating my life away, but I’m fitter than most people so I don’t care

In the caption of the video, she added that she exercises mainly for health reasons and said that achieving her dream body was an added benefit.

Harrah revealed that he does resistance training three times a week.

His followers shared their thoughts on his message in the comments section.

“Wow, honey, you look fabulous and beautiful [while] working out,” wrote one viewer.

“You make me excited to get older!! You are radiant and so inspiring, keep shining baby,” said another TikTok user.

How much exercise should you do and when?

There are guidelines issued by the NHS and the Government about how much exercise people should do each day.

People should be active daily and avoid sitting for long periods.

The NHS recommends that adults – those aged between 19 and 64 – should do 150 minutes of “moderate intensity activity” a week.

This equates to 21 minutes a day or 30 minutes five days a week.

Or they could do 75 minutes of vigorous activity a week, which could be less than 11 minutes a day or 25 minutes three days a week.

Adults should also do strength exercises at least twice a week.

Examples of moderate-intensity activities include brisk walking, water aerobics, cycling, dancing, playing doubles tennis, pushing a lawn mower, walking, or rollerblading.

Examples of vigorous activities include running, swimming, cycling fast or up hills, climbing stairs, sports such as football, rugby, netball and hockey, jumping, aerobics, gymnastics or martial arts.

Things like lifting heavy weights, climbing hills, spin classes, or circuit training are considered very vigorous.

What time should you exercise?

Exercising throughout your day, no matter what time of day, is a good idea.

But you may want to be more selective depending on your goal.

A 2023 US study of 5,285 middle-aged adults showed that exercising between 7am and 9am was the best time if you want to lose weight.

The researchers found that gym-goers who got up early had lower body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference than those who worked out later.

A 2022 study led by Prof Paul J Arciero, Skidmore College, New York, found that the ideal time of day to wear your kit can vary depending on your gender.

Professor Arciero said women looking to lose fat around their belly and hips would do better to hit the gym in the morning, but those looking to gain upper body strength or simply improve their mood may see more results with evening exercise. .

The results were opposite for men.

If you have trouble sleeping, it has been found that exercising in the morning can help, but exercising in the evening can help you stay asleep.

Exercise can generally improve sleep quality.

“Go girl!!! The 60s are a great place to be!” pointed out a third person.

“STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL! Your health is your best gift to yourself! You look amazing!” commented another viewer.

“Awesome!!! Work hard = good results,” said one follower.

“Fantastic job taking care of you! Aging like a fine wine, beautiful,” wrote another TikTok user.

“Weight training made me feel like a badass, it’s amazing for improving mood too,” shared one commenter.
