Lesley began her bodybuilding journey during her her late 40s after coming across a TV advertisement for a fitness competition.

Following this, Lesley decided to become a personal trainer at the age of 48 and won her first fitness competition a year later.

Since then, the 63-year-old has won almost 30 fitness titles under her belt for her ripped physique and penned Get the Body You Want which was published in 2012. 

And Lesley said she often gets approached by men who are decades younger than her with the personal trainer revealing that she feels better than ever.

She revealed that her favourite meal is whole organic eggs, sauerkraut salad and sprouted grain bread.
