Paulina Porizkova, aged 61, is feeling the positive effects of regular exercise. She recently shared her gym routine on Instagram, providing insight into how working out has benefited her life.
Despite long-standing dislike for exercise, Porizkova began routinely working out in her 40s when she discovered it alleviated her anxiety and improved her appearance. She admitted her preference for lounging and reading but acknowledged that physical activity brings different benefits to her body.
In her Instagram post, Porizkova explained her thrice-weekly gym visits, focusing alternately on upper and lower body workouts, with one session dedicated to full-body exercises. Heeding advice from doctors and social media influencers, she ‘lifts heavy’ and incorporates Pilates.
The video showed Porizkova performing various exercises like hammer curls, deadlifts, and lunges. She noted the workouts have not only reduced anxiety and enhanced her appearance but also strengthened her physically. Despite gaining ten pounds, she confidently dances and mingles with younger crowds.
She shared a video of herself dancing at her son’s friend’s wedding, highlighting her ability to out-dance the younger attendees. Porizkova expressed that she and her husband train under professional guidance to prevent injuries and feel at peak fitness even post-surgery.
After her bilateral hip replacement and dealing with menopausal weight gain and joint issues, Porizkova feels comfortable and content in her body. Fans reacted positively to her post with supportive messages, viewing her journey as inspirational.
