"Started Exercising at Age 50 to Overcome Divorce"
A 65-year-old grandmother boasting a youthful appearance so much that she is often mistaken for the sister of her granddaughter in her 20s is becoming a hot topic.
Recently, the New York Post reported on 65-year-old influencer Leslie Maxwell, who has 140,000 followers on Instagram and shares posts of working out with her granddaughter Tia. Leslie regularly reveals her toned body while sharing information about weight training and a healthy diet.
She started fitness training at the somewhat late age of 50 but is now working as a personal trainer. The reason she began exercising was none other than her divorce. Believing that "vitality and charm are not limited by age," she has caught the attention of many men but tends not to be interested in romance. She emphasized, "This kind of care is not for men."
Regarding why she continues to exercise consistently, Leslie said, "I want to become stronger and feel more positive about myself." She also advised, "It is never too late to start a fitness journey." Furthermore, she expressed confidence by saying, "You can be sexy at any age," and "People of all ages can improve their physique and health; in fact, you only need to invest one hour a day."
Her granddaughter Tia also enjoys working out with her grandmother. They usually do weight training together once a week, mostly at the home gym. The New York Post reported, "Tia prefers leg and glute exercises, while Leslie likes upper body workouts," and added, "Leslie looks much younger than her age, so she is often mistaken for Tia's sister."
Tia shared Leslie's secret to maintaining her figure, saying, "Our grandmother doesn't indulge in sweets like other grandmothers and eats a clean diet. She brings organic eggs and strawberries to make pancakes," and added, "Grandma is really cool."
