A BATTLE of the generations in a planking stand-off has seen a 25-year-old guy routed by a woman nearly six decades older.<\/p>\n
The 83-year-old gym granny easily saw off the competition. But then she rarely misses an opportunity to work out.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
If she's not thrashing weights then she gets into position on the beach to put her core muscles through their paces for even more planking moves.<\/p>\n
The astonishing feats of Erika Rischko (@erikarischko) have seen her grow a following 1.7 million on her TikTok. <\/p>\n
There she describes herself as an \u201c83-year-old fitness junkie and dancer.\u201d<\/p>\n
In one of her posts, an ocean-side venue became her temporary work-out space.<\/p>\n
\u201cHad to squeeze in a plank at the beach when you miss the gym," she said.<\/p>\n This lady seemed to barely shake when doing this exhausting maneuver – she was cool as a cucumber.<\/p>\n But would she stand up in a battle of the generations, when she was pitted against a young, fit man of 25? <\/p>\n \u201cWho will win? Who\u2019s the baddest of them all?\u201d was captioned across the video.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n As the clock ticked, she remained focused. He, however, wanted to know how long it had been: \u201cIt\u2019s going to be hard.\u201d<\/p>\n But at three minutes and 30 seconds, he gave signs of giving up the fight: \u201cI can\u2019t hold it any longer.\u201d<\/p>\n At four minutes he finally collapsed declaring Erika, still happily holding her plank position, the winner.<\/p>\n She even helped her younger competitor up. \u201cMy core hurts," he said, but not hers.<\/p>\n \u201cThis was fun," said this wondergran. "I guess now we know who\u2019s the baddest of them all.\u201d<\/p>\n Commenters were in thrall to this fit lady.<\/p>\n \u201cOmg, you are brilliant," said one person.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m inspired, starting today, right now," vowed another.<\/p>\n A third had only respect for her: \u201cWow, being fit really pays off even at your age. I\u2019m so happy for you. Love your energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/picture>happy families <\/span><\/p>\n
