Lesley Maxwell, a 64-year-old fitness influencer, has garnered attention for showcasing her impressive physique during a workout in a hot pink two-piece outfit.
Maxwell, who has won over 30 bodybuilding awards, encourages women to lift weights for their health, citing age-related diseases such as sarcopenia and osteoporosis that can occur as early as one’s forties.
Weight training has been shown to slow bone loss and even build bone, in addition to building precious muscle, according to Maxwell. The fitness coach hopes to inspire more women to lift weights for overall health and strength, and her dedication to fitness has even garnered romantic attention from admirers, with some men half her age proposing to her.
Maxwell remains undeterred by the attention and continues to advocate for weightlifting, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle at any age.
