Meet the grandmothers pushing boundaries with their New Year's resolutions
<p>Each year, millions of people around the world decide it is their year to try new things and push boundaries. </p>
<p>For many, these New Year's resolutions include getting fit and eating healthy, travelling, or saving money for a big purchase. </p>
<p>But for these Aussie seniors, they are pushing their resolutions even further, taking part in activities that will keep them young. </p>
<p>For Gold Coast great-grandmother Hilda Wren, she knew she wanted to make a change after she had never been on a plane before. </p>
<p>So, naturally, she decided to make her first trip in a plane one to remember, by jumping out of the aircraft and skydiving over the coast. </p>
<p>"I've done sort of kickboxing, tennis, dancing, everything and I thought skydiving would be something different," Hilda told <a href="https://9now.nine.com.au/today/rise-of-granfluencers-and-why-more-aussies-over-60-are-living-their-best-life/741432b9-4e3d-4831-a1c0-1134d66ac949" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Today</em></a>.</p>
<p>"The grandkids think I'm absolutely marvellous."</p>
<p>The 90-year-old admitted her first skydive was a little nerve-wracking, but after going up in the plane and jumping out another two times, she admitted it gets easier each time. </p>
<p>"If anybody wants to do something different, do it while you can," she said.</p>
<p>"I mean, I'm 90 now, and I'm glad I've done it three times - if I could do it again, I would."</p>
<p>Melbourne pensioners Carmen and Ginger took up interesting resolutions last year, and this year have decided to try out pole dancing. </p>
<p>"Take the opportunity to embrace whatever you want to embrace, more of what you love," Carmen said. </p>
