People think that if one has to start their fitness journey, they have to start young. That exercising and weight lifting aren’t for older people. However, there have been many examples of elderly people working out like a pro. For example, Milind Soman’s mother or actor Sharat Saxena who continue to work out proving that age is just a number.
Another person on the list is Pinkie Roshan, Hrithik Roshan’s mother, who at the age of 68 continues to hit the gym and performs difficult workouts in her backyard. She lifts weights, practices her mobility, and doesn’t miss her cardio.

Sharing a couple of videos of his mom’s workouts, Hrithik took to Instagram to write how she gives him hope and reminds him that age is just a number. Just like everyone else, his mom has bad days too, but when that happens she starts all over again.
“To see her giving her all to fitness and wellness at the age of 68 gives me hope that we all can continue to get better no matter what the age. A big hug to all of you out there for supporting and sharing this relentless, joyful passion with my mom. I know she has bad days, we all do, and time and again I have seen how hard it is for her to get into the gym and get started.”
He further revealed that his mother started working out at age 58 and that parents should remember that it’s “never too late”; they should take care of their health for their children.
“My mom started working out at 58. Just thought I should add that fact for other parents who feel it’s too late for them. It’s NEVER too late. Do it for your kids. They will love you for it.”
