I’m a fit grandmother at 54 – trolls say I shouldn’t lift weights as I’ll ‘bulk like a man,’ I think I look pretty good
AN age-defying grandmother has hit back at critics who say she shouldn’t lift heavy weights.
Leisha (@liftingwithleisha) often flaunts her washboard abs and bulging bicep muscles in sports bras paired with skintight leggings in videos filmed at the gym.
She has garnered over 6,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares the grueling regimen that has helped to sculpt her enviable figure.
The 54-year-old grandmother who works as a pediatric pre-op/post-op nurse enjoys exercising for fun and hasn’t tried to monetize her hobby.
She has flooded her social media feed with posts showing the epic results of her time spent in the gym.
However, she claims not everyone is impressed with her dedication to fitness.
Leisha filmed herself performing heavy upper-body workouts including bicep curls and lateral raises.
She revealed her ripped physique doesn’t stop her from being feminine as she also showed herself wearing a selection of glamorous outfits outside of the gym.
The text over the video read: “Women shouldn’t lift heavy.
“You’ll bulk up like a man. At 54, you’re too old to lift.
“Prove them wrong!”
She captioned the post: “‘They’ are wrong!”
Leisha added hashtags including #strongman, #womenwholift, #over50women and #liftheavy.
The video went viral with commenters encouraging the ageless grandmother to ignore online trolls.
One person wrote: “Way to show them the way. A true stunner.
“Keep on putting in the time. Much respect.”
Another said: “YES GET IT, GIRL!”
A third added: “You’re a 10/10.”
