Many people have a usual idea of what it looks like to get older. We imagine droopy skin, a weaker body, and wrinkles as common signs of aging. However, there is a Korean couple who are defying these negative stereotypes about old age.
He’s 61 and she’s 56 years old.
The couple from Seoul, known as @okdong_fit on Instagram, mainly shares posts about staying fit and their daily life. This type of content usually doesn’t include older people.
However, despite their ages of 61 and 56, this couple embraced the challenge and embarked on a fitness journey together. Now, they are the most amazing and inspiring senior couple you’ll ever come across!
In a video narrated by their daughter Grace, she shared the story of her parents’ fitness journey. Grace mentioned that her father got motivated by a popular trend in South Korea, where people would exercise for six months and share their body changes on the internet.
Their life before they started working out.
In an Instagram video Grace shares that her mom was overweight but at the same time, her dad was extremely skinny due to being an amateur kickboxer. Her mother started swimming a year after she gave birth to her son and she swam for the next five years.
After Grace’s dad quit kickboxing he started going out to play soccer every week, so he has always been active. But this activity caused him a knee problem which resulted in him not being able to walk more than 30 minutes at a time.
When he decided to join this trend, his wife decided to join him as well. Grace explained that her parents have always been a team, and this journey was no different.
The couple began exercising and eating a healthy diet, and after six months, they took new profile pictures. However, even after achieving their initial goal, they decided to keep going and push themselves further.
Apart from their workout routines, the senior couple also shares updates about their everyday life. They post about going on dates, shopping for fashionable athletic wear, and even share their diet plans. The duo truly does it all and does it with enthusiasm!
The gym is their typical date spot.
Many of us wouldn’t even think of the gym as a date spot. However, they regularly go and have gym dates either in the evening or during the day.
The couple’s life is nothing we would expect from a couple of their age. They are just purely awesome, and they also share their joyful life in many perspectives.
Their children hold an equal place of importance in their hearts.
The couple lives far away from their children. Their daughter and eldest son reside in America. However, distance doesn’t stop them from getting together.
Every summer or winter, the whole family goes on a trip. Even though it’s a short journey, the time they spend together as a family is more precious to them than anything else.
The Beatles sang a song called “All you need is love.” But in real life, arguments, spending time alone, and disagreements are what really make relationships stronger and more interesting. When you have your first fight, you might feel upset and start questioning your partner. However, psychologists say that going through these challenges helps couples understand each other better and ultimately become stronger.

Chris Christie Loudly Booed Off The Stage – Watch It Here
During the fourth Republican primary debate, former New Jersey Governor Christ Christie used the event as an opportunity to attack former President Donald Trump.
However, the audience at the debate made it very apparent that they were not pIeased with Christie’s slights toward Trump as they ruthlessly booed him.
Christie opened his anti-Trump statement, cIaiming the former Republican president will be a convicted felon by the time the 2024 election occurs. While Trump faces several tense legal battles ahead of the election, he remains undeterred, promising voters that he will reclaim the White House from Joe Biden despite the litigation.
I want you all to kind of picture in your mind. So election day, you all be heading to the polls to vote. And that’s something that Donald Trump will not be able to do. Because he will be convicted of felonies before then. And his right to vote will be taken away, Christie said.
Following this claim, the audience loudly booed the former governor, forcing Christie to defend his statement. The primary candidate, who bareIy qualified for the latest debate, claimed the crowd was denying reality by continuing to support Trump.
