They’ve passed down their jeans from generation to generation.
A svelte grandma, her daughter and her granddaughter all share clothes, and stun strangers who think the trio could be sisters.
In addition to swapping wardrobe items, Lesley Maxwell a bodybuilder from Melbourne, Australia, loves hitting the gym with her daughter Vanessa Christofi, and her granddaughter, Tia Christofi, Caters News reported.
Lesley, 65, says fitness is her secret for staying so youthful.
“They’re shocked to find out that I have grandchildren because I guess it is a little out of the ordinary to think that a grandmother is doing deadlifts and chin-ups in the gym,” she said.
“However, I’d recommend weight training to women of all ages as there are so many health benefits to training this way.”
Lesley, who works as a fitness trainer, also encourages her clients to lift weights.
“It strengthens our bones and helps us tone our body by adding muscle. I’d love to see more women of all ages lifting weights. It’s the anti-aging way to train,” she explained.
“I usually do four weight training sessions a week, plus as I’m a trainer and in the gym most days, you could say that I get some incidental exercise as I’m often carrying the weights or ’spotting’ my clients,” she added.
When Lesley trains with her family, people can’t believe she and her daughter and granddaughter have such a big age difference.
“People are always surprised to learn that we are actually three totally different generations of a family. However, we always have a wonderful time together chatting, having a laugh, and training. I’m so blessed to have such a lovely family,” she said.
The family often does photoshoots together and both Lesley, who prefers and her daughter Vanessa, who prefers to keep her age private, mostly borrow 22-year-old Tia’s clothes.
“I’m also very lucky that I get to share clothes with my daughter and granddaughter. When we do shoots together, most of the clothes come from Tia’s wardrobe,” Lesley said.
“She loves doing the styling and color coordinating us,” she added.
Tia, who runs her own social media marketing agency, said she loves working out like her grandmother and stays active by going to the gym and cheerleading. When she’s with her grandmother, people think she’s actually her mother.
“They’re taken back when I correct them and tell them she is my grandmother,” Tia said.
The social media maven has made her grandma the star of several of her videos.
“I film my grandmother and I working out and people love to see it,” Tia explained.
“She’s 43 years my senior and we both lift weights and follow the same workout routine while dressed in similar apparel. It was a video that went viral,” she added.
Tia’s content has garnered the attention of 500,000 TikTok followers.
Tia said that spending time with her mom and grandmother “inspires” her and they’ll continue to strengthen their bond — by hitting the gym.
