I’m a 103-year-old woman who still lifts weights, staying healthy in old age is about doing things that make you happy
A WOMAN in California continues to hit the gym which she calls “her happy place” at the age of 103 years old.
Teresa Moore goes to the gym in Camarillo three or four times every week.
The phenomenal woman ensures that she looks good while completing her workout.
Teresa arrives at the fitness facility with a full face of makeup and jewelry.
Photographs show Teresa working out her legs on a leg extension machine with a red lip, a necklace and perfectly styled hair.
The centenarian does a mixture of strength training and cardio.
She can be seen lifting weights and using strength machines or walking on the treadmill.
Teresa proves that age is just a number as she stays dedicated to her favorite hobby.
She told Fox11 that going to the gym every week “gives me energy.”
Meanwhile, Teresa’s daughter said that the facility is truly her mother’s “happy place.”
She added that her mother’s adventurous and “curious” nature lead her to the gym.
Sheila Moore said: “That’s where she meets her friends. I think my mother is a curious person.
“When she left Italy, she lived a vagabond life and I think curiosity was a big motivating factor.”
Teresa was born in Italy before she became what she calls a “military bride” to her late husband in 1946.
She lived in various locations across the world before choosing to settle in Southern California.
While Teresa works hard at the gym, she also makes the most of her downtime, with her favorite pastimes of playing bridge and going to the opera.
With over 100 years of life experience, Teresa was asked what advice she has for others.
She told people to “try to be happy” adding: “Try to think of good things – to think everything is beautiful, to think beautiful things.”
