Oprah's Extreme Fitness Journey: A Closer Look

Oprah Winfrey has been on a mission to stay active, and she's not doing it alone. Her favorite way to exercise? Hiking. She's been sharing her adventures on social media, often dragging her best friend Gayle King along. Her recent trip to Australia was no different. Oprah's social media posts show her enjoying the outdoors, but they also reveal a strict fitness routine. In one video, her social media director, Joseph Zambrano, jokes about their hiking schedule. He says his Apple Watch is asking for overtime. In another clip, he whispers, "She wants us to hike again, " after revealing their early morning plans. Oprah's stamina has left many surprised. Zambrano admits, "She even went to the gym after one of our hikes this week. I went to nap. " Fans have been quick to react. One Instagram user joked, "Oprah is literally torturing you guys. I’m calling the police. " Another said, "Oprah got new knees and ya’ll are paying the price. "Oprah's fitness journey started after a double-knee replacement in 2021. She shared her progress in an essay, saying she started with short walks and gradually increased her distance. A year later, she could walk over 10 miles up a mountain. In 2023, Oprah revealed a dramatic weight loss. She was a spokesperson for Weight Watchers but later admitted she also used a GLP-1 medication. Since then, she's maintained a slimmer figure. Fans have been supportive, with one saying, "At this point Oprah is just showing off this new body of hers and I can’t blame her. " Another commented, "I want what she’s taking. " However, not all comments have been positive. One user joked, "Oprah getting ready to set fire to another beach front community, " referring to a background in one of her posts.
