Hoda Kotb showed off her strength when she posted a video of herself doing weightlifting at the gym.

The 60-year-old star used heavy weights as she squatted in one clip she posted on Instagram, as well pushing a weight sled and using a medicine ball.

The former Today Show host showed off her fit figure in the clips, which she posted as a slideshow with the caption: ‘Let’s start this day! Happy Tuesday XO.’

Her trainer Brian Harrington shared the clips plus additional ones where she worked out her arms and chest onto his Instagram page.

‘It has been such a pleasure to be a part of @hodakotb fitness and wellness journey,’ he wrote.

‘5:30 am is never too early when you bring the energy and excitement that she brings each morning. Go check out the new health and wellness app that she launched @joy101.’

Hoda left her role as Today show co-host in January 2025, after 17 years in the role and 25 years at NBC.

Last October, Hoda revealed that her decision to leave the Today Show came after she reflected on how she wanted to spend her 60s.

The mother of two explained her two daughters were the main reason she chose to leave her position because she wanted to spend more time with them.

The anchor said that she struggled with wanting to be with her kids and wanting to be excellent at her job, but found it hard to juggle both, per People.

Hoda is mom to two daughters, Haley Joy, seven, and Hope Catherine, four – both of whom she adopted.

‘There’s this guilt you carry because you can’t be 100% at work and 100% at home. Something has to give if you want excellence.’

‘If you’re going to be excellent at work, something has to give at home.’

Hoda continued: ‘And if you want to be excellent at home, I mean excellent, and do all the things, something has to give at work. It can’t be equal.’

‘I knew I wanted this decade to be different. I looked at my time like a pie. I was like, this is how much time I get, and now what am I going to do with it and how am I going to carve it up?’ Hoda said.

Adding: ‘And I wanted it to be filled with more of them.’

She appeared on the Today Show again last week to launch her new brand Joy 101, which is an app that is customizable based on what the consumer wants – there is guided meditations, courses to grow your joy, retreats, JoyFest and more.
