Super fit gran who gets mistaken for 30 reveals key to youth - it's all about strength

A super fit gran has revealed the key to her youthful appearance is being able to deadlift double her bodyweight - and says people online often think she is in her 30s or 40s. Jacqueline Hooton, 59, from Bognor Regis, has been a personal trainer for over 20 years and now trains five days a week.

The grandmother-of-two feels confident wearing hot pants and crop tops and wants to empower other middle-aged women too. Jacqueline said: "I'm going to be 60 in February and I am excited. I'm not frightened and I’m not apologetic about my age. I want to help other women feel strong and confident in mid-life too."
