A woman claims she’s ageing backwards and regularly leaves people stunned when revealing her true age.<\/p>\n

Lisa D’Ettorre-Liguori rises each morning “ready to train” with a toned figure that would embarrass most people in their twenties.<\/p>\n

The self-assured mum-of-two is “proud” of her age \u2013 but remains “very intentional” about her lifestyle, encompassing her exercise routine, nutrition and skincare regime, which helps her appear decades younger.<\/p>\n

Lisa’s physique is the product of dedication sparked by years of carrying excess weight, battling hormonal fluctuations, mental cloudiness and bleeding gums, all triggered by perimenopause symptoms at the time.<\/p>\n

Today, she’s in better shape than ever \u2013 here’s what she does: from tracking macros to consuming sufficient protein, and committing fully to weight training.<\/p>\n

“I’m very intentional about how I live. I am redefining what ageing can look like for women.<\/p>\n

“I strength train multiple times a week, walk every day and include HIIT workouts a couple of times weekly to keep my cardiovascular fitness strong.<\/p>\n

“I plan my meals, track my macros, and make sure I’m eating enough protein to support muscle and recovery, which was a major shift for me as I aged.<\/p>\n

“I protect my sleep, manage stress, wear sunscreen daily, stay consistent with skincare, and I no longer drink alcohol because I simply feel better without it.<\/p>\n

“None of it is extreme, but it’s consistent. Those daily habits compound, and that’s what keeps me feeling strong, mobile, and energized at 64.<\/p>\n

“Over the past six months, I’ve been following a ‘reverse diet’ to properly fuel my training so I can build muscle, not just maintain it.<\/p>\n

“People don’t expect a woman in her sixties to live this way: strong, energetic, training hard, and fully engaged.”<\/p>\n

The influencer said people typically assume she’s younger than her years suggest.<\/p>\n

she said: “The number varies, but the reaction is often surprise. I take it as a compliment, but what matters more to me is helping people see that ageing doesn’t mean falling apart or shrinking back.”<\/p>\n

Lisa resides in the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California, US, alongside her husband of 37 years, David, 64, with whom she has two grown-up children Jeremy, 30, and Kasey, 26.<\/p>\n

The founder of Simple Beauty Minerals Cosmetics says keeping up her healthy routine means she avoids many of the common complaints experienced by others her age.<\/p>\n

A vegetarian, she kicks off every morning with a minimum 45-minute walk, alongside three days of strength training and two 10-minute HIIT sessions.<\/p>\n

Lisa said: “I’m not dealing with many of the common health concerns that often come up in conversations at this age, and I’m grateful for that.<\/p>\n

“I wake up without aches or pains and feel ready to move and train, which reflects the work I put in consistently.<\/p>\n

“I feel comfortable in my body and free to wear what I like, whether that’s tank tops, dresses, or something more fitted.<\/p>\n

“[When I was younger], I followed the advice many women were given at the time; eat less and do more cardio, and it wasn’t sustainable or effective.<\/p>\n

“I’m no longer interested in trying to be ‘skinny’ by undereating.<\/p>\n

\"Lisa<\/p>\n

“The biggest shift was learning how to strength train effectively, and also learning to eat enough, and to count macros in a way that truly supports my body. “.<\/p>\n

Lisa shares clips documenting her wellness journey with her 8,389 Instagram<\/a> followers under the username @lisadliguori.<\/p>\n

She’s hoping to spark a discussion that moves beyond staying forever young, instead focusing on living well where health \u2013 not age \u2013 takes centre stage.<\/p>\n

She also undergoes routine blood tests to stay ahead of any shifts happening in her body.<\/p>\n

Lisa continued: “My family and friends respect my routines and understand that movement, training, and taking care of myself are non-negotiable.<\/p>\n

“What’s been especially meaningful is hearing from younger women and even men who feel encouraged by seeing a different example of ageing.”<\/p>\n

What Lisa eats in a day<\/p>\n

Breakfast: Coffee with collagen and a plant-based creamer, oats with yogurt, protein powder, berries, a protein smoothies or protein pancakes.<\/p>\n

Lunch: Egg white omelet with greens, avocado, low-carb tortilla or a low-carb bagel.<\/p>\n

Dinner: Large salad with cottage cheese or a protein veggie bowl.<\/p>\n

Dessert: Always a protein brownie yogurt bowl to \u201chelp me meet my protein goals in a way that still feels like a treat.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lisa D’Ettorre-Liguori says people are shocked when she tells them her age, as she shares her anti-ageing fitness…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":491612,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[8112,337,97],"class_list":["post-491611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-diet","tag-fitness","tag-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=491611"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491611\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/491612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=491611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=491611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=491611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
