Exceptionally Fit Instagram Couple in Their 50s and 60s Refuse to Simply Sit and Grow Old (3 of 3)

Their social media content consists of their morning stretches along with cooking videos.

In a recent interview, Mr. Kim offered some insight into the couple’s motivation, the challenges they face, and their overall well-being. 

Mr. Kim, 61, observed that as the couple has aged, they have begun to make their health a priority. He pointed to signs of health issues like prediabetes and worn-out knee cartilage, which means his walking routine must be done in short durations. In fact, he believes it’s only a matter of time before he’ll need to go under the knife for artificial joint surgery. Meanwhile, Mrs. Kim, 56, experienced all of the postmenopausal symptoms such as facial flushing, palpitations, and panic disorder in her 40s. They were initially resigned to their fates, seeing all of this as simply a natural part of aging, but as time went on, they came to discover that strength training could prolong their health. 

Mr. Kim further discussed one of the biggest obstacles that he has faced during their health journey, particularly as it related to staying disciplined when making the right eating choices. Being the CEO of a company and teaching at a university means he’s often conducting business meetings and engaging with his students. As a result, the temptation to eat something quick and convenient at the expense of healthy – high-quality food – is great. However, he had made a promise to himself that he would remain committed to staying in shape, and this is a promise he has clearly kept! 

Their remarkable fitness is only matched by their fashion.

As for their final thoughts, Mr. Kim expressed his delight over the fact that so many young followers – those between 25-34 make up the majority of their social media audience – are inspired by their fitness journey. The couple take the time to read comments from their fans and are pleased that so many of them are working on getting into shape thanks to the example set by the Kims. Mrs. Kim added that if their life as a couple helps others to experience healthier, more fulfilling lives, they are grateful that they have a platform upon which they can make a difference.
