She credits post-surgery lifting with restoring confidence and mobility.

Overview

  • On Jan. 29, Oprah Winfrey shared an Instagram video of herself performing deadlifts during a birthday workout.
  • In the reel, she jokes that she once "didn't know what a deadlift was" and stitches in a 2021 interview clip where Adele talks about heavy lifting.
  • Her caption explains she added lifting after double knee replacements, emphasizing the need to maintain muscle as people get older.
  • She encourages followers to "go try something new," presenting the routine as a path to feeling stronger rather than pursuing extremes.
