Women can shave years off their age by adopting healthy habits such as exercising, eating well, and getting enough sleep.
Over-40s female influencer JJ Virgin is 60 years old, but she claims she looks 45 years old after making some lifestyle changes. She suggested that women should start setting fitness goals.
JJ said on YouTube: “I think one of the big challenges is getting stuck in a rut like this. The problem is with age and if you don't keep improving your fitness, your strength will decline.” .
“At age 40, you start losing muscle by 1 percent per year, and strength decreases by up to 2 to 4 percent. By age 60, that doubles.”

To combat this, JJ decides to take his strength and strength into his own hands. After undergoing DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry), which measures bone strength, the influencer set herself “ambitious” goals of strength training, “very heavy” weightlifting and agility training. .
She also decided to step up her self-care and set a goal of achieving three self-care “points” per day.
JJ said, “Key self-care tips include cold water soaks, meditation, exercise, journaling, reading, Epsom salt baths, red light therapy, sauna use, and walking.''
When it comes to exercise, JJ decided to take an accurate assessment of his fitness status. For this, she carried out her cardiorespiratory and grip strength tests, trained accordingly and set specific improvement goals.
The influencer also worked on balance and flexibility through her yoga practice. She emphasized the importance of doing exercises that she doesn't like to reap her health and fitness benefits.
She said: “I do yoga at least once a week. Just for the record, I count every minute I participate in yoga. Yoga is not my favorite thing. I'm also trying out some new sports.”
In addition to exercising, JJ also decided to improve her eating habits. She started calculating macros. This involves breaking down your calorie intake into individual macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
She also began prioritizing sleep, emphasizing the importance of “deep sleep.” She always brings an eye mask and earplugs when she travels.
