A 62 year-old fitness fanatic has become something of a star on Instagram, and she is showing the world that age really is just a number.

Fox News reported that Sheila Kiss is a 62 year-old resident of Bali, Indonesia who maintains a strict workout routine that involves her exercising in two-hour stretches six days per week to keep up her enviable physique. All of her hard work has paid off for her in a big way, as Kiss says that men young enough to be her son are desperate to date her!

Born in Birmingham, England, Kiss told The Sun that she fell in love with fitness thirty years ago and has never looked back since then.

“I started my health and fitness lifestyle when I was about thirty after my second child. I resumed tennis again twice a week and also started aerobics,” Kiss said. “Aerobics was really popular in the ’80s and I could go five days a week, even with three children.”

She added that it wasn’t until she was in her 40s that she embraced weight training, which she says “makes such a difference to your shape and body tone.”

“I’ve never focused on weight and I don’t weigh myself, but rather focus on tone and I don’t consider a skinny body to be a healthy or a well-shaped body,” Kiss explained. “I’d much rather have a sporty, well-toned look.”

When she ‘s not in the gym, Kiss avoids calorie-counting and scales, instead focusing on a healthy diet full of fresh produce, which makes her feel “super strong” and at her best. She said she often gets compliments on her youthful appearance from other gym-going women, who tell her they want to look just like her when they’re her age.

“They always say that I am such an inspiration to them and I really love that, as at the age of 20 you just realize how important it is to keep strong, healthy and fit, and how confident it can make you feel,” the fitness guru said.

Kiss has over 55,000 Instagram followers, and she says “men do stare” and constantly send her messages on the social media site.

“I laugh to myself as I am old enough to be their mother,” Kiss said. They totally confuse my Instagram page with Tinder; men who private message me would be from 20 to 70. I just hit delete.”
