As Nora Langdon reached retirement, she started to realize just how out of shape she was. The 65-year-old struggled to climb up and down stairs while showing houses as a realtor – so she reached out to a friend whose husband is a personal trainer for some guidance.

⏭️ Fast-forward 16 years... and 81-year-old Nora is now considered one of the best senior powerlifters in the world, with over 20 national and world records to her name.
