Hoda Kotb Lifts Heavy at 60: Embracing Fitness and Family
Hoda Kotb Shows Off Her Buff Figure and Reveals the Real Reason Behind Her Shocking Exit from The Today Show
In a shocking turn of events, Hoda Kotb, the 60-year-old star of NBC's Today Show, has been making headlines once again - but this time it's not for her journalism skills. Instead, she's showing off her buff figure and impressive workout routine on social media.
The mother of two posted a series of videos on Instagram that have left fans speechless, showcasing her incredible strength and agility as she lifts heavy weights, squats, and even pushes a weight sled. But what's more interesting is the story behind these fitness posts.
As it turns out, Hoda's decision to leave The Today Show in January 2025 after an impressive 17-year run was not just about pursuing new opportunities or taking care of herself physically. According to sources close to her, Hoda made the difficult decision to step down from her role as co-host because she wanted to spend more time with her two adorable daughters, Haley Joy and Hope Catherine.
In a candid interview last October, Hoda revealed that she struggled with the guilt of not being able to be 100% present both at work and at home. She confessed that it was hard for her to juggle both responsibilities, admitting that something had to give if she wanted to excel in either area. "There's this guilt you carry because you can't be 100% at work and 100% at home," Hoda explained. "Something has to give if you want excellence."
But it seems that Hoda has finally found the perfect balance between her career and family life, judging by her impressive workout routine. Her trainer, Brian Harrington, shared some of her fitness videos on his Instagram page, praising her dedication and enthusiasm.
"5:30 am is never too early when you bring the energy and excitement that she brings each morning," he wrote. "Go check out the new health and wellness app that she launched @joy101."
And speak of Joy 101! Hoda has recently launched a customizable app that offers guided meditations, courses to grow your joy, retreats, JoyFest, and more. The app is designed to help users prioritize their well-being and happiness, something that Hoda clearly knows a thing or two about.
So what's next for the beloved TV personality? With her new app taking off and her fitness routine in full swing, it seems like Hoda is all set for a bright future - one that's filled with joy, love, and lots of sweat.
