Age is no limit to fitness. We can reinvent ourselves physically at any age and here’s a selection of the super fit Instagrammers 40 years old and beyond to prove that being flexible, fit and fabulous is now ageless.
My favourite fitness fanatics bring a daily dose of inspiration to my instagram feed. In age defying sports gear and glowing hair, they have as much energy as my teenage daughter. From LA and Australia to the Cornish coast they reminder me that age doesn’t restrict us when it comes to physical fitness.
They’re creative and lead the way in showing us how to age with energy, style, strength and happiness providing new ideas for our own fitness journeys and keeping us motivated.

I could not imagine life without exercise, from bootcamps to running and age certainly shouldn’t be considered a restriction when achieving a fitness goal. The new instagram fit friends add a dose of inspiration to my daily feed – why not add these with these fabulously fit instagrammers to yours!
