Winfrey discussed her love for hiking back in October 2022 when she revealed that she recovered from double knee surgeries the year prior.
She shared the health update during her"The Life You Want"class, which was focused on gratitude. Winfrey noted that she especially related to one guest who said she was grateful for every organ and every limb.
“I had knee surgery in August, and then I had another knee surgery in November,” she recalled. “When I came home the first time, I literally could not lift my leg. I couldn’t lift my heel off of the bed, and I vowed if I was ever able to get up, walk around, and move again — that I would take advantage of movement, exercise, and of being able to be fully in my body.”
“As I was rehabilitating, I started hiking. Everyday, I tried to hike more and do more,” Winfrey added at the time. “My appreciation for every organ and every limb has expanded exponentially. So, you mentioning that really brought that home to me.”
