I'm a 63-year-old fitness lover who's not afraid to wear sexy swimwear… it's never too late, silver is the new strong | The Sun

A 63-YEAR-OLD fitness enthusiast has reminded people that it's never too late to start their health journey, adding that ''silver is the new strong''.

At 63, Teresa Burkett, is stronger than some people half her age, effortlessly doing pull-ups and challenging weight exercises.

Since embarking on her fitness journey, Teresa, from the USA, has also become somewhat of an internet sensation on Instagram, where her page, @homebodytrainer, boasts close to 180k followers.

Here, you can regularly catch her working out either in gym gear or sexy swimwear – and she is also not afraid to inspire others to do the same.

Sharing her thoughts on ageing, Teresa said in a post: ''Silver is the new Strong.

''It’s not our silver hair and wrinkles that ages us, it’s the loss of STRENGTH and MUSCLE -and that’s something we can control!''

The fit 63-year-old added: ''You’re never too old and it’s never too late to get STRONGER.''

Posting the uplifting message, Teresa also casually performed some impressive gymnastics, fixing on her tight core and enviably strong upper body.

As well as doing weight lifting, she also enjoys her fitness pole – something that was gifted her on Valentine's Day.

Although she initially found it ''challenging'', Teresa recently revealed she was now able to gracefully balance on it, calling it one of her ''little victories''.

''What a skill, what an outfit, what a woman.''

A third penned: ''Fitter than most 20 somethings.''

''Do not talk down on this woman! You should be inspired! Most people can even do this at 30 years old!'' another agreed.

However, her page has also been found by some trolls, some of whom reckon Teresa's thirsty for ''attention''.

''Still dying for attention at 63? Had to do it in a bathing suit and share it. So sad and kinda pathetic,'' one meanie said.

''Just why? So everyone says she is amazing? At her age I would think she wouldn’t need that kind of attention. No class,'' someone else thought the same.
