This 91-year-old is fitness goals
Edna Giordano still lives on her own and goes to the gym almost daily.
Radke, 60, said the first video she ever posted showing her mom's level of fitness left her followers \"amazed.\"
\"They never, I think, could imagine that someone even into their 70s could do what she does,\" Radke told \"GMA.\" \"And if I didn't grow up with my mom and have a mom who at 91 does what she does, I would think the same way.\"
Radke said that as a personal trainer herself, she notices that it is the little things her mom has done and continues to do consistently every day that allow her to live so well in her 90s.
In addition to not over-indulging when it comes to food, Radke said her mom always takes the stairs, is active throughout the day, works to keep her mind sharp and does activities she enjoys that help her mobility and fitness, like gardening.
\"That's my message, that you don't need to be in a gym to be fit,\" Radke said. \"You don't have to do all the extreme workouts. Just stick with the basics.\"
Radke said that watching her mom age so well has taught her that \"age is just a number.\"
Giordano said she has the same mindset, noting that she rarely thinks about her own age and is surprised when other people point it out.
\"I don't think it's amazing, and that's why I'm rather astonished when people point that out to me. I just think this is normal,\" Giordano said. \"The best present you can give to yourself is your health and the fact that you can move ... you can do all the things that you want to do.\"
