Josep Peña, 60, who works on himself
If you see a sixty-year-old Josep Peña, you will certainly think that he was lucky with genes. After all, he looks much younger than his years. Tall, slender, active, cheerful and smiling.
To be in this form is helped by daily work. He rowing canoe in any weather every day for an hour. He spends two or three hours in the gym.
At my age, all this is absolutely necessary to be slim and healthy, "he explains. "When you're sixty, you can be beautiful and enjoy life." But for this you need to work on yourself every day. Yes, you get tired, of course, sometimes muscles ache. But we are so arranged that in sixty years you can not live without moving. I run race with age, and only so I manage to get ahead of him.
Josep Peña loves sports, but sometimes he allows himself to relax and goes to dance.
I adore boogie-woogie dancing. I really like the movements. When a woman dances boogie, it looks sexy. And when a man ... Well, then it's just a cool dance!
Josep is a mechanical mechanic. And even in retirement, he continues to earn extra money. When he does something, he always listens to music. He can not even imagine a day without her.
Misia Badgers, 62, who photographs the most fashionable people
For six years Misia Badgers has been engaged in photography. Her pictures are unusual: they are beautiful and stylish people who are over 50. These are ordinary residents of Dutch cities. Misya takes pictures on the streets, places them on her blog, talks about fashionable people in her column in the famous magazine Zin.
Most importantly, I understood, talking with beautiful people for fifty: do not try to look younger than you are. The pursuit of youth kills beauty. I'm sixty-two years old, and I, for example, stopped dyeing my hair. Gray hair is much better suited to my skin. After all, the skin changes with age, and it is necessary that everything in the image be in harmony. At our age, beauty is first and foremost natural.
Photographing women, Misya realized that their main decoration is not appearance, but self-confidence. It is she who affects the appearance, the ability to keep and walk. All models of Misi are educated, all-roundly developed people, perhaps, that's why they are so stylish and fashionable.
Once I met a seven-year-old woman named Yvonne. She loves to dress beautifully, collects hats and travels by bicycle with her husband. One day they traveled together from Amsterdam to Prague. Although they traveled all the way on bicycles, her husband took a dress and shoes, and Yvonne - an evening dress and shoes. A cycling trip for them, you know, is not an excuse to deprive yourself of the pleasure of visiting the opera in Prague. And the opera must be dressed decently.
Misya herself prefers minimalism in clothes. Although she likes extravagant women of her age. She is sure, the main thing is that the dress liked its owner. And then she will always look perfect.
Larissa Inozemtseva is 52 years old, who is not inferior to her daughter
Many of us are used to think that after 50 sports it is useless, and excess weight is an essential attribute of aging.
Larissa Inozemtseva proved the opposite. At 51, she dropped 18 kilograms, started running and transformed.
I began to wonder what awaits me ahead of what I would like to become. By fifty-one, I was quite professional. But I wanted to become better, more beautiful. First of all I wanted to lose weight.
Larissa started to keep a food diary. She always ate properly, as a biochemist by education. But it turned out that there was too much healthy food. She decided to eat less and began to exercise. But her son and son-in-law wrote her down for a family triathlon competition: Katya's daughter was supposed to swim, her son-in-law to ride a bicycle, and Larissa was supposed to run, and 10 km. She decided not to let her family down, and the next day she put on sneakers and went running. Trained every day, added a few meters. Gradually began to look better, lost weight, began to look more cheerful.
Even in cold weather, she continued to train despite employment at work and late return home.
In January, when there were a few more months to Mallorca, Dima suddenly called me and confronted me with the fact: "Larissa's mother, in a couple of weeks a big race, Katya and I are participating, and you were also recorded. We run for ten kilometers. " "How! I'm not ready yet! "It was very scary, but I ran. Meters for four hundred before the end of the distance saw Kati figure at the finish line. She took the microphone and said to him: "Attention, my mom is finishing right now. For the first time in her life she runs ten kilometers. Welcome, please, my IronMum! "Everyone applauded, and I ran the last meters with tears in my eyes and, running up, fell into Katya's arms. It was our family victory.
Running changed her life. She became younger, more cheerful and active, she believed in herself. She also took up ballet with her daughter.
