Valerie Bertinelli is feeling optimistic about her fitness journey. The 62-year-old recently posted a video on Tiktok, updating fans on her latest workout: walking on the treadmill.
In the video, the Food Network star takes fans on a walk, celebrating her journey to become more active.
“So just 12 years ago, I did a marathon. But you know what? You have to start somewhere, I’m not embarrassed,” Bertinelli said candidly as he was shown walking at a slow, steady pace on exercise equipment. She captioned the post “Day 1” and ended the clip by saying “Today is the first day of the rest of my life.”
At the end of the video, fans could see the joy in Bertinelli’s expression at the thought of renewing this positive chapter in his life. Many showed their support for him in the comments section, “You inspire me… I’ll have a first day!! Thank you for the strength!!!!” one person commented while another fan wrote, “I started back too…WE HAVE THIS!”
Historically, Bertinelli has been very honest about her complicated relationship with weight. She has been candid about body imageincluding sharing how his early life impacted his relationship with food and how she tries stay positive and change your mindset.
Earlier this year, Bertinelli published a detailed memoir describing her struggles with body image: enough already—which peaked at number one on the New York Times bestseller list. Since then, she has shared what it is like. you are no longer interested in looking at your weight and that she is “done with the scales”.
The last few years have not been easy for Bertinelli and he has battled through many heartbreaks. She divorced Tom Vitale, whom she married in 2011, and is still grieving the loss of her ex-husband, rocker Eddie Van Halen, who died of throat cancer in 2020. Despite all of this, Bertinelli has struggled to be honest about what she’s going through, particularly her weight fluctuations. “I’m still holding on to this weight because it protects me because I’m going through a lot of challenges,” he said in the past.
We commend Bertinelli’s optimism and for taking the fans along for the ride. One fan wrote it best in the comments section: “You got it, Valerie!”
