66-Year-Old Fitness Trainer Does Squats Holding Granddaughter, Says Strength Is a Lifelong Standard

Renu Sidhu, a 66-year-old certified fitness trainer, has gone viral for performing squats and exercises while holding her granddaughter, emphasizing strength as a lifelong standard for her family. Sidhu, who began lifting weights at 54, advocates for home-cooked meals balanced with proteins, fats, and complex carbs. She has won a gold medal at the 2017 State Powerlifting Championship and was named Fittest Woman of Gujarat in 2019. Previously a homemaker raising three children, Sidhu now runs a gym. Experts caution that others should not imitate her child-holding exercises, as it risks posture damage and injury.
