María Moya is 60 years old and decided to play with everyone’s expectations.
In her video, she first dances in a long skirt with a demure expression. Then comes the twist: a blue backless dress reveals toned arms and a physique that made thousands of people rewind to check whether it was the same woman. She summed it up on Instagram: “There’s no right or wrong version. There’s the version that makes you feel good”.
The curious thing is that it all started at 30, when María, a physical education graduate from Brazil, began weight training. During the pandemic, she had just 600 followers; today she has over a million, and her video has already amassed more than 8 million views. She is not trying to look younger. She wants to show that at 60, it is still possible to build the body and confidence she wants for herself.
