STAYING fit is something most of us struggle with and many of us have already given up the fitness goals we set ourselves back in January.
Lesley Maxwell has no problem stay in shape though and regularly shows off her toned bikini body – despite being 66!

Whilst most of us wouldn’t be brave enough to have a boudoir shoot, this fitness influencer has decided to bare all to celebrate her aging body.
Earlier this week, the content creator uploaded a daring photo of herself in just a sheer white shirt with stunning black lingerie encasing her curves.
In the caption, the bodybuilder gushed about her body and wrote: “You know that feeling! It’s just part of being healthy and strong!”
This isn’t the first time she has showed off her impressively toned figure either, with Lesley regularly uploading photos and video of herself in tiny bikinis.
After uploading a reel of herself in pastel coloured floral swimsuit, the 66-year-old revealed that fans even question whether her enviable body is a product of Photoshop.
Alongside the reel, the blonde bombshell pointedly told her 143,000 followers: “Many times I’m asked if I photo shop my pictures. But a video doesn’t lie, so here I am today.”
It’s hardly surprising that the fitness fanatic is proud of her body, given that she hasn’t always been the picture of health.
Two decades ago, she’d been lying in a hospital bed with severe asthma and pneumonia when she first encountered the glamourous world of female body building.
Despite being 49 at the time, she felt inspire to overhaul her life after years of struggling diets and sporadic exercise.
Lesley would even join the gym on the day she left hospital, with the mum-of-three determined to become like the women she’d seen on screen.
Since then, she won 35 five title for body building and qualified as a personal trainer who focuses on supporting older women.
When she’s not competing against women half her age, Lesley is showing off her impressive muscles with Instagram reels of her intense training sessions.
She still trains with her granddaughter Tia, with the older woman often getting more attention than the young twenty-something.
Having spent decades rebuilding her body, the 66-year-old also refuses to let trolls on social media stop her from enjoying her body.
Rather than covering up, the influencer challenged ageist stereotypes about women should wear in their golden years.
Sharing a photo of herself posing in a paisley print bikini, the content creator showed off her incredible muscles with her long blonde hair swept to the side.
In the caption, she then pointedly wrote: “Should we ever be considered too old to wear a bikini? I don’t think so.”
We couldn’t agree more!
