This 63-Year-Old Fit Grandma Will Inspire You To Work Out Today

My plans for tonight included finishing up that pizza in the fridge and catching up with my DVR, but after learning about Ellen Ector, I think I’ll be hitting the gym.
This 63-year-old mother of five and grandmother of four proves that there is no one holding you back from having your ideal body except you.
After 20 years as a social worker, Ector quit her job and pursue fitness training in 2009. “I said, ‘Either you’re gonna do this fitness thing or you’ll be working for someone else for the rest of your life,’” she told BuzzFeed Life.
Now, she co-owns Gymnetics Fitness and gymJUICE in Atlanta, GA and has released a fitness DVD series, Black Girls Workout Too!, with her daughter Lana. So much respect.
Check out these photos of your fitness inspiration for the day, then meet me at the gym.
