I was at my heaviest weight a year ago, now I’m in the best shape of my life at 50, I don’t want to reverse age
A WELLNESS coach has championed aging after getting in the best shape of her life at 50.
She was at her heaviest weight and battling hormonal issues just a year before she decided to overhaul her lifestyle.
Tania Baron (@officialtaniabaron) has garnered over 9,900 followers on TikTok, where she shares her love of dancing and fitness.
The exercise enthusiast took to the social media platform to speak candidly about how she feels about aging.
She had a youthful glow as she stood in her home gym wearing a pair of shorts with a crop top.
“I was having a conversation with one of my friends about aging backward,” she said.
“I’m like you know what, I’m gonna stop saying that because I have no desire to go backward ever in life.
“I don’t wanna age backward. I wanna age forward, I wanna age gracefully.
“I wanna age feeling my best.”
Tania revealed that she unashamedly uses cosmetic procedures to reduce the signs of aging on her skin.
However, she explained that her beauty treatments are about making herself feel good rather than trying to stay young forever.
“I’m all for a glow-up,” she said.
“Yes, I get Botox. I do it once a year and I think some people do it more often.
“Whatever, it’s not because I want to look younger. I like to feel youthful but that’s a feeling.
“I just don’t like the way lines and wrinkles look, they have nothing to do with being younger.
“I feel really good and that’s what it’s all about.
“Not aging in reverse but aging forward and aging gracefully, just being truly happy and confident.”
The video went viral with over 13,000 views and hundreds of likes from people who were grateful that she was advocating for embracing aging.
Many viewers took to the comment section complimenting Tania on her age-defying look.
“You look fabulous, you are aging gracefully,” one person commented.
“You are beautiful and you don’t seem 50,” another chimed in.
The video came after Tania revealed that she overhauled her lifestyle one year before she turned 50.
She left many viewers inspired as she showed herself lifting weights and flaunting her physique in a bikini.
“My hormones were off and I was at my heaviest,” she explained. “So I got to work, changed my diet, and worked on my gut health.
“More weight training, more rest and recovery days. I feel my freaking best!”
