A GRANDMOTHER who loves working out at the gym has revealed that she doesn’t care when internet users say her muscles are “manly” because she loves working out at the gym.

The fitness fanatic, who lives in London, recently posted a video of herself lifting weights at the gym, wearing a crop top and leggings.
She showed off her incredibly muscular figure and her impressive strength.
While Andrea was exercising, she danced around and smiled for the camera, showing her cheerful and carefree personality.
She spends up to eight hours a day in the gym and works incredibly hard to keep her body in shape.

Unfortunately, some nasty trolls have commented on some of Andrea’s videos by stating that her muscles make her look “manly” or “like there’s a man on top of her.”
Andrea, however, isn’t deterred by the haters: she says men half her age are interested in her.
She added that she thinks this is because younger men are attracted to mature women.
“I usually attract men who are half my age. Young men have a kind of fetish for mature, muscular women,” she told the Daily Star.
“We have more experience and self-confidence, which is sometimes lacking in inexperienced young ladies.
“My age and my muscles also make them attractive.”
Andrea said she likes it when younger men like her, but added that she herself is attracted to mature men.
The grandmother previously revealed that the secret to her youthful appearance is naked yoga.
She said it helps her burn calories and improves her well-being.
