A 70-year-old gym enthusiast claims after vowing never to become a boring grandmother. Retired office manager Denise Wallington left work in 2010 and started swimming at her local gym.
But hearing the music belting out from the exercise classes lured Denise in and the grandmother-of-two, of Bedfont, west London, now relishes her two-and-a-half hour daily gym workout, saying; “Everyone tells me I am in the best shape I’ve ever been. I was dreading turning 70 in September 2021, but I don’t feel my age at all.
Retirement was Denise’s trigger to exercise as, up until then, she had never used the gym and frequently felt “lethargic” in her 50s and 60s, after her operations agent daughter, Joanna Gates, 42, and son, Neil Wallington, 40, flew the nest.
