Professional bodybuilder and Miss Olympia champion in 2017 Sheryl Grant will be competing for the 2023 title at the age of 61 and hopes she can inspire people that anyone can reach their goals.
“On this journey to Ms. Olympia at 60+, my goal is to reach 50 million people around the globe, letting them know that age is just a number and that they can achieve their goals at any age!” she wrote on Instagram.
Grant Doing Something Positive For Others
In a world filled with so much negativity and toxicity, it’s refreshing to see someone do something with the goal of inspiring others.
Grant has been posting her workout videos and tips to her success on TikTok and has built a community of people looking to improve their fitness. Her official FIT for Life community helps individuals transform their bodies and minds.
“Starting the journey to Ms. Olympia for the second time is difficult, but it has opened my eyes in ways I never thought imaginable,” Grant wrote in a separate post.
There are six female divisions at the Olympia — Bikini, Figure, Fitness, Wellness, Women’s Physique, and Women’s Bodybuilding.
In a video posted on TikTok Grant said a strong core is her secret to more effective workouts.
Core Is The Key To Grant’s Success
The core is the central part of the human body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach muscles. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work together.
Anyone that has trained for a sport or participated in any athletic activity has heard the word core. If you’ve ever had an injury as a result of your sport or activity and done physical therapy to recover, core was likely discussed. Grant’s right, it’s the key to ensuring you’re using your muscles properly and that the body is in sync.
“My secret to more effective workouts is a STRONG CORE!” Grant said. “A strong core allows me to do more exercises and maintain the form to maximize each movement’s effectiveness.”
Grant’s core workout includes: Russian twists with a medicine ball, 90 degree twisted leg lifts, reverse crunches, and regular crunches.
The Miss Olympia 2023 competition will take place on Nov. 3 in Orlando, Florida.
