65-year-old bodybuilder Lesley Maxwell definitely looks younger than she actually is. Her appearance is so youthful that people often think that her, her daughter, and her granddaughter are sisters. So one has to wonder, what exactly is her secret?
The “Sisters” and Their Secret
Lesley literally looks the same age as her daughter Vanessa Christofi and granddaughter Tia Christofi, but of course, she isn’t; there are big age gaps between the three. Lesley shares that people often get shocked by the fact that she has grandchildren. It must be hard to believe that a grandmother is doing push-ups and crunches in the gym.
The 65-year-old’s secret to staying youthful and in shape is the weights. She believes women of all ages should hit the gym and get a few weight-training sessions each week. It brings numerous health benefits and serves as a fountain of youth. The older we get, the more we lose muscle mass. Weight training can help strengthen our bones and tone the body. Lesley says it’s the “anti-aging way to train,” and it’s obviously the reason why people think she and her granddaughter are sisters.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Lesley also shares her workout routine. She does four weight training sessions a week, and she is also a personal trainer, which makes her spend even more time at the gym. Carrying the weights for her clients and demonstrating the moves to them serves as extra exercise. In addition, she regularly works out with her “sisters.” The trio say that people often can’t take their eyes off them.
The three women just laugh it off and continue with their training. Lesley feels happy that she can share these moments with her family. They even exchange clothes with each other, and when they do shoots together, they usually wear clothes from Tia’s wardrobe. There’s a 43-year age difference between her and her grandmother, but they both have similar workout routines and amaze more and more people every day.
