I’m 52 and fit – I started strength training in my late 40s, I thought life was ending but it was just beginning
A GLAMOROUS mom has claimed life starts at 50 after transforming her appearance and lifestyle in midlife.
Annamaria Kalebic (@annamariakalebic) explained that she spent her forties feeling like “utter crap” and expected her life to be over when she turned 50.
However, she said discovering weight training and adjusting her diet during lockdown has left her feeling “fit and on fire.”
The mom-of-three now shares her exotic trips abroad, nutritious meals, and beauty tips with over 66,000 followers on TikTok.
In a montage posted to celebrate her 52nd birthday, Annamaria looked ageless as she posed for snaps alongside her daughters and beamed alongside her husband who is 10 years her junior.
She showed her enviable figure as she frolicked on the beach and was all smiles as she sat in the stands at sports games.
The TikToker gushed about feeling “grateful” for having transformed her life in a series of posts.
She reflected, saying: “How did I go from feeling like utter crap in my forties to feeling fit and on fire in my 50s?
“It all started during lockdown when I was going out of my mind so I started weight training in the garden.
“As I got more confident and stronger, I then ventured out onto the gym floor and really started pushing myself.
“Strength training is so good for women.
“Feeling stronger makes you feel so much more empowered and you can maximize your results by adding protein to your diet and upping your calorie intake.
“All the while I was starting to feel like myself again, if a little more playful and I started to develop my own sense of style. Now I feel better than I did in my 20s.”
Viewers admitted they were shocked by Annamaria’s age due to her youthful appearance.
One person wrote: “Looking great. It’s amazing we start learning more and more about our bodies as we grow older and then look younger.”
Another commented: “Oh my God you look amazing!! I’ve just turned 40 and I hope I look as good as you in my 50s.”
A third said: “Leading the way hun! Such an inspiration.”
A fourth added: “Very hard to believe you are in your 50s.”
