Many believe that with retirement, an active life comes to an end. The desire and motivation to take care of oneself diminishes, and simple, shapeless clothing along with comfortable shoes becomes the norm. Sitting on the couch in front of the television and watching over the grandchildren becomes the only entertainment available to those who have crossed the age of 70. Such stereotypes are justified only in part, and not everyone agrees to put a cross on their lives after 70. There are those who continue to move forward and discover new horizons, inspiring others.
Ignoring the age written in the passport and living life to the fullest is the position of 72-year-old Norma Williams from Italy. Despite her age, many young women envy her appearance and figure, and retirement has not become a sentence for her; it has simply given her more free time. Norma decided that it is never too late for change and became a fitness trainer.
Taking care of her appearance was not a priority for her in her younger years, and her lifestyle was hardly healthy. Over time, she gained extra weight, and with it, her health deteriorated. It was after the age of 30 that Norma began to think about the need for change and started looking for information on proper nutrition, as well as decided to befriend sports.
Not wanting to put her body under unnecessary stress, she did not make drastic changes; instead, she gradually eliminated unhealthy foods and worked on her figure.
The first results pleased Norma and became her personal motivation to continue what she had started. For many years, she monitored what went onto her plate and engaged in sports, and the result of such efforts was a beautiful, toned body.
Williams realized that she was not the only one facing the problem of excess weight, and her many years of effort and accumulated knowledge could help others. Thus, she came to the decision to become a fitness trainer.
For Norma, age is nothing more than just a number. Moreover, looking at the slender and beautiful woman, those around her also do not believe that she has been a retiree for over ten years.
Unlike other women her age, Norma does not hide behind shapeless clothing. Bright outfits that emphasize her figure, youthful styles—these make up her wardrobe.
Norma proves that age does not hinder one from remaining beautiful, active, and interesting to those around her, and such a position deserves nothing but respect.
