JOAN MCDONALD

The Instagram sensation who took up weight training aged 70 is amassing followers (including Davina Mccall, who told WH she’s a huge fan) faster than you can say ‘leg day’. Joan had been struggling with her weight for most of her life when high blood pressure and arthrosis prompted her to change her lifestyle. Now, she works out five times a week, sharing her deadlifts, pull-ups and leg presses with her 900,000 (and counting) followers. Project Body Love research found that women over 55 are nearly three times more likely to have a positive body image than women in their twenties, and there’s a lot to be learned from Joan (bio:

You can’t turn back the clock, but you can wind it up again!’).
