Teresa Burkett, who shares inspirational videos doing pull-ups and strength exercises on her @silveristhenewstrong TikTok account, is on a mission to change the narrative of what older people, especially women, can look and feel like.with over 4 million views, Burkett looks like she would be ready for a night out on the town in a halter-neck leopard print dress and black pumps but she’s also hanging on her home pull-up bar.

At 65, Teresa Burkett is on a mission to inspire others to get active and build strength, even in their later years."I had a lightbulb moment once and I thought, it is not my silver hair and my wrinkles that's going to age me, it's the loss of or lack of muscle and strength, and that's something I have some control over. And that is my message especially to younger girls," Burkett said.

"Here I am – 65 years old – and I'm lifting heavier than I was 10 years ago," the mom and grandmother said."A lot of it is mindset also – I think you can be 65 and feel like you're 20, and you can be 20 and feel like you're 65," she continued."Once you change your mindset, it's almost like you start liking yourself.

"My hope for others by watching me would be that they realize you're never too old and it's never too late to get stronger," she added.
