Gloria Diaz will most probably be your next fitness goal at the age of 69!

Gloria Diaz is proving that 69 won't slow her down.

In an Instagram video, the former Miss Universe shared a snippet of her intense ab workout at home while listening to her favorite tunes in the background.

In the video, she says, “This is for the abs, mahirap ito.”

The posted video below was uploaded on April 4th, a day before her 69th birthday.

She wrote in the caption, “Tomorrow is my 70th birthday!

“Actually 69th but 'di ba the chinese don't celebrate 9's! But since we're all being quarantined, we have to eat only once a day, exercise, and wait for further instructions.

“I miss my kids, nieces, siblings, friends but ... staying home.”

In the comments section, family and friends commended the former beauty queen including Gloria's very own daughter Isabelle Daza to which she said, “69 is your number talaga,” referring to the year the former won the coveted title of Miss Universe.

Prior to the enhanced community quarantine, Gloria is already a self-confessed fitness buff.

She often posts videos of herself hitting the gym and doing strength training with life partner Mike de Jesus.
