Geraldine 'Jerry' Leo, soon to celebrate her 100th birthday, maintains a remarkable level of fitness that rivals many young adults, exemplified by her ability to hold a plank for three minutes. Participating actively in aerobics and weightlifting at the Great South Bay YMCA, Leo attributes her longevity to consistency, positivity, and movement. Recognized as an inspiration by both her peers and fitness instructors, her journey showcases the impact of community and personal commitment to health at any age, prompting celebrations from the YMCA and local authorities in Bay Shore, Long Island.
It's not just aerobics. Leo also takes a weightlifting class on Fridays, but this week for her birthday, both the YMCA and the mayor of Babylon are celebrating her.
Her impressive stamina and form were carried out just three days before her 100th birthday.
Be consistent, be positive, and keep moving in whatever you do. That's very important," Leo said.
"Jerry is an inspiration to everyone who meets her," Grant said.
