When Lesley Maxwell was told she looked frail at 49, the defiant grandmother of three turned back the clock to become stronger and happier than ever.
Now, the fitness-obsessed grandma performs in body sculpting competitions and fields proposals from men 30 years her junior!
Lesley, who shares her age-defying journey online, has over 65,000 Instagram followers from across the world and has won numerous titles in competitions globally.
“Before, I was a quiet and shy person with no body confidence,” she tells New Idea. Now, she isn’t afraid to strip off for a saucy photoshoot.
It all started 16 years ago when Lesley, now 65, was working as a makeup artist. She suffered frequent asthma attacks and one time fell sick with pneumonia, which landed her in the hospital for a week.
“People started calling me frail, but I wasn’t ready to grow old,” she recalls.
Brainstorming ways to get back in shape, she came across a body-sculpting competition on TV, where women were wearing body glitter and bikinis.
