A 64-YEAR-OLD grandmother has revealed that she loves flaunting her muscles in bikinis and even has teenage boys constantly sliding into her DMs.
But the content creator, who has 145,000 followers on Instagram, is dividing opinions in her family over her racy fitness photos.
Whilst Lesley Maxwell’s granddaughter Tia, 19, loves her glamorous look, her daughter, Vanessa, 42, is not quite on the same page and has told her to ‘tone it down’.
But the model and fitness coach, who is from Melbourne, Australia, isn’t afraid to show off her toned figure in ‘skimpy clothes’, despite what people think.
Talking to Truly, on an episode of Hooked On The Look, Lesley’s granddaughter Tia said: “She’s 64, I think she dresses more like a 30-year-old.
“My grandmother is so close to me, she feels like she’s my age half the time.
“Because she looks amazing for her age, she does get a lot of attention.”
Lesley recognised that she often has youngsters in her DMs and Instagram comments, as she explained: “The guys are from 18, which is really funny. Sometimes they’re really naughty. I’ll take everything as a compliment.
“I can’t cover it up and if I want to show it then I’ll show it.
“I’m into fitness and I’m always in the gym in skimpy clothes.
“Also I compete so you’re used to being on the stage in teeny bikinis and I have no problems in sharing that. I’m not shy about my body.
“I don’t like wearing clothes that are designed for a certain age, I think then we become ageist and people expect that they need to look or feel a certain way.”

There’s a few bikini photos.
“I’ll go on my Instagram and I’ll see what she’s posted and call her and be like ‘mum, delete it, get it off’.

But to this, Lesley claimed: “I can’t cover it up. And if I want to show it then I can show it.
“Why be old and sick if you don’t have to be? Why not feel on top of the world?”
Social media users react
YouTube users were left stunned by Lesley’s good looks and many were eager to compliment the ageless beauty in the comments.
One person said: “She looks great! Wow! And even her hair looks healthy.”
Another added: “What an ICON. She looks so young for her age and so fit.”
A third commented: “Lovely physique. You look so good gran.”
