Chennai's 'rockstar' grandma lifts weights with grandsons, netizens say 'she is awesome'

A video showing an 82-year-old grandmother in Chennai lifting weights along with her grandsons has caused a stir on the internet. Shared by a fitness enthusiast in Chennai, Chirag Chordia, to emphasise that “everyone can train”, the grandma wearing a saree can be seen enjoying the activity during the little at-home workout session. Not only lifting weights but there are multiple videos posted on Chirag’s Instagram that shows the 82-year-old doing fitness training.

Through the caption, Chirag has even attempted to explain to his followers how his grandmother leaves many visitors surprised. However, the 82-year-old has continued to amaze the onlookers and never give up training. The Chennai fitness enthusiast talked about the myths that are related to senior citizens lifting weights and said, “A lot of myths surround senior training because well, it's uncommon for them to lift weights. Just like it was uncommon for women to lift weights in the 90s.”

Refuting the claims of age impacting the workout, Chirag said, “Age is like BMI. Both are perceived to be useful indicators but rarely, if ever, do they give us the entire context.”

“Everyone CAN train. The kind of training they do differs based on factors more important than age,” he added.
