8 Days Before Her Bodybuilding Competition, 71-Year-Old Bodybuilder Pens Inspiring Note on How She Proved the Nay-Sayers Wrong

When it comes to the world of bodybuilding, age is just a number. All you need to succeed is the right amount of passion and zeal for the sport. Renee Landers, who embarked on her fitness journey at the age of 69 and started competing as a professional nearly at an age when most athletes seem to retire, is a standing testament to the fact.

The 71 YO fitness influencer recently survived a horrific injury while she went cycling on the beach. She had no broken bones or fractures, just simple pains and she credits it all to her fitness regime every day. Now that she has finally recovered completely, she is all set to grace the stage with her presence once again. Before setting foot on stage, she unveiled how she proved all those who did not believe in her wrong.

Renee Landers pens an inspiring note

The 71 YO fitness athlete shared a check-in post on her Instagram account where she was seen posing for her upcoming competition, which is to take place in just 8 days. Taking to her unconventional journey, she shared a rather inspirational note that will surely help people to take a step towards their dream. She wrote, “POSING Practice! practice makes progress…”

Renee Landers thinks that perfection only drives you crazy, and it is better to just practice rather than aim for perfection. She is prepping for The Porter Classic this year and writes, “This will be my 8th competition in the past 2 years… of course, I’m nervous, but also, proud that I had the guts to step on stage at 69 years old. I’ve come a long way… Although I’m still a work in progress…”

Who would have thought that the 69 YO athlete who was once scared to compete is now ruling the fitness world?
