I’m 63 and a fitness fanatic – here’s my secret to looking younger every year

A 63-year-old fitness fanatic has revealed her secret to remaining youthful in mind, body, and spirit.

Gym Tan, a mother from California who is known as @californiaistoocasual on TikTok, continues to wow followers with her go-getter attitude as well as her young appearance.
The fitness enthusiast shared a video with fans recently where she explained she believes she is aging like a fine wine, stating: ‘I said before that I actually think I look younger this year than I did last year.’
But what is the 63-year-old’s ultimate beauty secret to unlocking a Benjamin Button-esque aging process?
According to Gym,  it all boils down to a positive outlook on life as well as one key ingredient – not thinking about your age.

Gym Tan, 63 (pictured) told her followers that she only gets more youthful with every year that passes because she avoids mulling over her age and has a positive outlook on life

She urged to her followers not to fear age and that it ‘is just a number’, telling them that the best is yet to come. She stated that she is fitter in her 60s than she ever was during her 20s
Dressed in an elegant blacked dress coupled with color coordinated yellow, black and white jewelry, the mother told her fans: ‘Age is just a number.
‘I have said it before but more than that just focus on what makes you happy.  Focus on what makes you feel good.’
She stressed the importance of surrounding oneself with people who appreciate and love you and who can also teach you different aspects about life.
The middle-aged influencer has amassed a TikTok following of a round 247,000 and has continually reiterated over the years that the best is yet to come as she ventures further into her 60s.
At the age of 61, Tan posted a video joyfully running along a street with a Cheshire cat grin from ear to ear.
In the video with nearly 150,000 likes, the fitness fanatic divulged that she was in ‘the fittest and best shape’ of her life, inspiringly adding: ‘I’m running further and stronger than in my 20s.’
She urged fans to not fear aging but to embrace it, pressing that life ‘really can and does get better’.
Viewers were positively left in awe of the California mother who does not feel yoga and puffer vests are a ‘vibe’.
One fan wrote: ‘Love this message! Getting older is a privilege that many do not have.’
Another quipped: ‘This is amazing. Our bodies don’t deteriorate because of age, it’s because we discontinue our younger habits. Killin’ it!’
And the floods of compliments did not end there – with one person commenting: ‘So graceful and elegant even when running!!! You slay!!!’
Another individual chimed in: ‘You’re honestly one of the sunniest brightest creators I follow. Love you.’
Others shared how the then 61-year-old’s enthusiasm for fitness spurred them on, with a person saying: ‘I am 42 and I think of you every time I run.’

While one commenter added: ‘I can’t tell you how happy I am to have tumbled on our page!

Admirers flooded the youthful 63-year-old’s comment section with compliments, with many revealing she is inspired them with her positive encouragement and mantra
‘I need to show my mom ASAP in hopes it’ll encourage her and lift her spirits! Thank
Others immediately hit the follow button, with one keen new follower writing: ‘Just found your page, immediate follow. I love your attitude and energy!’
Despite urging her followers not to fear getting older, Gym has disclosed she too once shared those worries.
She confessed as she journeyed through her fifties she too felt there was ‘an expiration date’ were she would ‘become almost invisible.’
She wondered what would happen when she turned 55 and had the same thoughts on her approach to 60.
She added: ‘I turned 60 and then I turned 61 and now I realize there is like nothing to be afraid of’
