“Was About to Cry”: Everyone’s Favorite 66-YO Bodybuilder Granny Gives Fitness World a Mini “Heart Attack”

You are never too old to chase your dreams. Granny Guns is the biggest example of that. 66-year-old Marlene Flowers is setting a huge example for everyone in the bodybuilding world of achieving goals regardless of age. The popular social media fitness influencer started her journey at 58 and it wasn’t like she went on a treadmill running at 3 m/hr. She started with strength training.

Her life has been a rollercoaster ride with two toxic marriages and extreme body image issues along with an eating disorder. But after a colon surgery, her life changed forever and she decided enough was enough. She started exercising with her son Ryan who became her trainer. In a latest Instagram post, she chronicled her life and how it changed forever with just one decision. But the first picture of the carousel scared the daylights out of many fans.

Granny Guns shares her life story

She uploaded five pictures in the form of a carousel and the very first picture was of her on a hospital bed with pipes going inside her nostrils and she was holding a plushy teddy bear and looking very sickly. However, this was the start of her incredible journey. Flowers mentioned it in the captions saying, “The first photo was a turning point when I decided to take my health back. When I decided enough was enough and began my journey.”

The next pictures showed her working out in the gym, pumping her biceps, and also meeting famous bodybuilders on the way. She revealed that she had found her purpose and now it has been nine years since she started her great journey.
