It is never too late to achieve the goals that we have always pursued. Sometimes it takes many years to reach the top, but the taste of victory will be just as sweet, because what matters is the effort invested in the whole process. A Chilean woman can be cited as a perfect example of this philosophy of life: she is Gladys Bravo, a 69-year-old Chilean athlete who won a national bodybuilding championship and who will now travel to compete against other bodybuilders in South America. Try telling her that at her age, she should just be a cooking granny!

“Some activities can be done when you are young”; “At your age, it is better to give up”; “You have to know how to face the passage of time”.
How many times has Gladys Bravo heard herself say these phrases? Such.
And yet, she never gave up . Not even for a moment. So at the advanced age of 69, she became a bodybuilding champion in an international competition. Despite her advanced age, Bravo is in great shape and on Facebook and Instagram she documents her workouts , gives nutritional advice and encourages those who think they are … too old! “I’m not special, I just want you to believe in the great mental toughness that we all have,” she said. His intention is to be a source of inspiration for the many followers who follow his training.

“The victory in my master fitness category for the national team allowed me to represent my country at the competition held in Buenos Aires,” she wrote in a post on her Instagram account.
” It is a participation which I carried out in all” unconscious “: I certainly did not know what awaited me! I only had the conviction that I had to work very hard and the objective to be able to represent my country, gave me the strength not to give up. The three months I spent in the gym were difficult once the restrictions due to the pandemic had passed. I prepared myself, based only on my own experience . “
