‘You look better than your granddaughter’ people say as fit 65-year-old poses next to her in matching skimpy gym wear
FOR some, the word ‘grandma’ automatically conjures up images of knitted cardigans and hair rollers.
But one age-defying woman named Lesley Maxwell, who is a 65-year-old personal trainer, has set out to prove that age is just a number.
In fact, the gym bunny, who is from Melbourne, Australia, looks so youthful, people say she looks even better than her stunning granddaughter.
Taking to Instagram, Lesley, who can often be found showing off her svelte figure in a teeny bikini and skimpy gymwear on Instagram, shared a recent snap of the pair together in the gym.
In the image, the hot gran, who can be seen flaunting her toned abs and legs in a gym crop top and pair of figure-hugging leggings, wears her long blonde hair loose as she holds up a dumbbell for the camera.
Meanwhile, her granddaughter Tia turns to the side as she strikes a pose alongside her super fit gran.
Lesley captioned the post: “My granddaughter @tiachristofi and I share a love for health, fitness and apparel.”
But it wasn’t the pair’s fitness journey that got people talking, it was Lesley’s youthful appearance, with many social media users left confused as to who was the gran and who was the granddaughter.
“Who is one and who is the other?” asked one.
A second in disbelief questioned: “That’s your granddaughter?!?!?!”
“Wondering who is hotter…” commented a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: “Grandmother like you is the biggest inspiration.”
Another enthused: “Omg looks like your sister.”
And one more branded Lesley the “hottest gran ever!”
Lesley’s inspirational body transformation started in her late 40s following her separation from her hubsand.
Since then, she’s participated in over 30 figure competitions and has even rather impressively been titled World Champion.
And for anyone looking to follow in her fitness footsteps, you’re in luck..because she;s shared her typical gym routine.
“My workouts consist of staying in that eight to 10 rep range so I really focus on pushing myself with perfect form,” she said.
When working out her upper body, Lesley includes a machine chest press, cable fly, dumbbell bench press and barbell incline chest press.
The ripped gran, who claims to be “ageless” and is regularly flooded with compliments from younger guys, previously told Fabulous that she’d never date a man her own age.
“I have always been comfortable with my body but probably even more confident now that I’m feeling fitter and stronger,” she said.
“I love to encourage other women to be ageless and confident enough to wear what they want. Age is just a number.
“’I’m not sure if it’s just a coincidence but I’ve never dated a man my own age.
“Maybe because I’m young at heart plus having a fit, strong and toned body makes anyone feel ageless.”
