She revealed that she struggled with her health after giving birth to her children but finally took matters into her own hands.

"I spent 20 years overweight after having my two sons then I hit menopause," she said.

"I thought I'd never be slim again."

In another video, she revealed during menopause she was experiencing hot flashes, depression, and low energy.

After she decided to focus on her fitness, things changed for the better: "I overcame the menopause and so can you!" she said.

Sporting a tank top and gym shorts, she exercised in her kitchen as she motivated her viewers to do the same.

"With determination and consistency, anyone can do it — I did!" she encouraged.
