MAINTAINING a youthful appearance is about more than just your skincare routine.
An 82-year-old woman revealed the daily step she swears by for looking decades younger.
The mum was filmed by her daughter (@mondayprojectco) for a TikTok video.
In the clip, she revealed the hobby she credits for its anti-ageing results.
Dressed in a red jumper and plaid maxi skirt, the 82-year-old’s slim physique was clear to viewers.
She has often been complimented for her appearance, with many people telling her she doesn’t look a day over 50.
As well as her skincare routine, she revealed that daily exercise has helped her maintain her look over the years.
Her daughter revealed to her audience that her mum is a “daily runner.”
“My mum has run her whole life,” the TikTok user wrote in the video caption.
“She worked, raised four children, ran 30 marathons, and still runs today.”
The poster, who works as a personal stylist and shopper, praised her mum for her active mindset.
“She inspires me to make sure I huff and puff every day,” she told her followers.

The research broke down the biological benefits to running on a regular basis.
They explained that running regularly can contribute to maintaining a younger body by improving cardiovascular health, muscle strength, bone density, and overall fitness.
The professionals also cited research carried out on people who run over 50 kilometres each week.
“For every nine kilometres you run each week, your bone marrow gets a year younger,” they revealed.
The investigation found that running may just slow down the deterioration of your body.
It found that “people who ran consistently showed for higher red bone marrow.”
This is the marrow that produces blood cells and creates immune cells.
According to the experts, these results applied to people who ran casually, from 20 to 40 kilometres per week and those who ran long distance, over 50 kilometres per week.
So even going for a light jog ever other day may be enough to slow the ageing process.
