Celebrities over 50 are showing that fitness is built on consistency not age as they continue to show up youngsters with their washboard abs and endless stamina.
Leading the way in the UK are household names like Davina McCall, 58, and Gabby Logan, 53, who have both become advocates for staying strong through midlife with a focus on strength training and long-term health.
TV favourite Carol Vorderman, 65, is refusing to let age defy her – once admitting that she’s “addicted” to weight training. Meanwhile, 59-year-old Gordon Ramsay regularly swaps the apron for wetsuits and competes in endurance events including triathlons.
David Beckham is set to turn 51 this week but looks fitter than ever thanks to a daily disciplined routine and continuing to train with Inter Miami CF which he co-owns.
Fellow London-born star Idris Elba, 53, prefers to keep fit with boxing and once said joining a boxing club was a “turning point” in his life as a troubled youngster.
Jennifer Lopez, 56, may be a regular in Sin City but she certainly lives a sin-free lifestyle. The same can be said for Halle Berry who at 59-years-old looks better than ever thanks to her love of Peloton.
Also working up a sweat across the Atlantic is Mark Wahlberg, 54, who’s extreme workout routine went viral after he revealed he wakes up at 2.30am and spends around 3 hours a day working out.
Tom Cruise, 63, is another American refusing to slow down and is reported to thrive in active sports such as kayaking, and rock climbing.
Meanwhile, the popstars who are really showing off include Rod Stewart who at an astonishing at 81-years-old still manages to pull off a high kick.
Just a year older at 82 there’s Mick Jagger who recently revealed he works out six times a week combining swimming, kickboxing, cycling, ballet, yoga and strength work.
Of course Sporty Spice, real name Melanie Chisholm, deserves a special mention too as her washboard abs never fail to impress – And she’s just written a whole album about staying fit called Sweat.
Finally, it’s hard to believe Amanda Holden at 55 swears by the ‘viking workout regime’. However, 60-year-old Liz Hurley takes a more relaxed approach and previously said she swerves the gym but is “extremely active” day-to-day.
