Since then, Rischko has uploaded more than 100 videos of herself
doing exercises like planks and pull-ups, as well as dancing, to
encourage others to remain active during lockdown.
"Move and do something! Don't just sit in a corner and mope.
That's just the worst," she told Reuters.
She has amassed around 125,000 followers and more than 2 million
likes on the TikTok app, which is hugely popular among teenagers
and is best known for dance and lip-syncing routines and viral
challenges.
In some of her clips, which her daughter shoots for her, she
trains by herself and takes on fitness challenges set by people
who are decades younger than her.
In others, she and her husband, whom she met in a dancing event
years ago, do synchronized dance routines.
Rischko said she was especially encouraged by the comments that
young people post in the app, cheering her on.
"I'm really happy. I've never been as self-confident as I am
now," she said.
