Jaqueline Hooton, 61, advocates for women to build their body strength to keep them fit and healthy like herself.
She is so fit she can even lift double her body weight.
"In my 61 years on this planet my body has thrown me many curveballs. Curveballs l’ve made peace with.
"Thread veins that weave their way around my right thigh like a garter, 8-10 lbs heavier than I was a decade ago, and some but not all of it is muscle," she said.
She revealed she had suffered some hardships throughout her life but she keeps pushing forward.
How to dress younger
Speaking to The US Sun, fashion enthusiast Deidre, better known as my My Friend Deidre on , gave some tips on looking younger in with what you wear.
“I would say to ladies don't be led entirely by trends, but have a broad awareness of what’s out there.
“It's keeping up with a little bit of what's going on that makes you seem more youthful," the 58-year-old said.
“Particularly when you get a bit older, 80% of your wardrobe needs to be classics that you can just grab.
“You know that they're gonna look good and they're gonna be reliable and dependable.
“That last 20% can be trying out trends.”
"Multiple miscarriages, stretch marks and loose skin from carrying my five babies, shoulder joint restrictions after three surgeries, cellulite, osteoarthritis, a benign but not problem free tumour in my back muscles and I have just been dealt another curveball, which I will share more about soon," she said in a recent Instagram post.
Despite it all, she said she is "grateful" for her body.
"No one has a ‘perfect’ body because perfect can’t be defined. Is perfect disease free? Is perfect flawless? Is perfect a size or a look? Or is perfect simply making peace with what is?

"I hope you can make peace with your body’s bittersweet story too, we are all perfectly imperfect."
