Valerie Bertinelli<\/strong> is reaching for new fitness goals after finding a photo of herself posing in a stance that \u2018hurts [her] knees\u2019 to see.<\/p>\n \u201cMy goal is to be able to crouch down comfortably again just like this,\u201d Valerie, 65, captioned the Friday, August 22, Instagram post. \u201cI think I\u2019ve done enough squats in my lifetime that I should be able to work myself back to this (without actually holding onto something to help me down and back up) Time to hit the gym!\u201d<\/p>\n The Hot In Cleveland actress paired her message with a professional photo of herself in 2007. In the picture, Valerie knelt down in a deep squat-like position as she donned a monochromatic beige outfit.<\/p>\n Fans rallied in support of Valerie\u2019s new health and fitness goal in the comments section of the post, with some sending positive messages of encouragement.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can do it!\u201d one person wrote. \u201cNever stop getting down on the ground. We get down but we get back up again. And we keep on moving, no matter what!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes! I think we all want to work on improving that!\u201d a second fan commented. \u201cVery inspiring post. Plus girl! That outfit on you is fire!\u201d<\/p>\n Valerie has used her celebrity platform to display body positivity over the years, including her recent weight loss journey. In December 2024, the former Kids Baking Championship host stripped down to her bra and underwear as she celebrated \u201cevery lump, bump, wrinkle and saggy part\u201d of her body.<\/p>\n \u201cAt some point I will talk about the madness my body has been through this year,\u201d Valerie captioned the post. \u201cBut right now every lump, bump, wrinkle and saggy part of me just feels acceptance and simple appreciation to be standing in front of a mirror in a hotel bathroom in downtown Manhattan ready to color my roots late on a Monday night.\u201d<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac <\/strong>SIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a> \ud83c\udfac<\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Aug 23, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
