You may have heard the adage “it’s never too late to learn something” frequently. Well, this woman also provided proof of it. An online video of a woman from Chennai exercising in a saree at the gym has gone viral. Not only that. The woman talked about how she overcame obstacles to maintain her fitness, and the video also showed her working out with her daughter-in-law.

A page on Instagram called Humans of Madras posted the now-viral video. The 56-year-old woman’s tale was told in the video. Her son conducted research to find a solution when she first started experiencing leg and knee pain. He urged her to work out each day. So, at the age of 52, she began working out at her son’s club, Madras Barbells, with her daughter-in-law, performing power lifts, squats, and other exercises. She also exclusively exercises while wearing a saree.

“She’s 56. So what? She wears a saree and casually does powerlifting & pushups! Age is just a number – rightly proves one of the powerful, (young by heart), inspiring mothers-in-law. Her dedicated & supportive daughter-in-law works out with her regularly too. Isn’t this called growing with each other?” reads the post’s caption.
