I have the legs of a 25-year-old at 55 – the lazy-girl tips I swear by to keep them looking so good, plus a shower trick
A 55-YEAR-OLD woman with the “legs and belly of a 25-year-old” has shared her secrets to her toned physique – and why we shouldn’t be afraid of getting older.
A 55-year-old woman with the “legs and belly of a 25-year-old” has shared her secrets to her toned physique – and why we shouldn’t be afraid of getting older.
Sue Griers is in the best shape of her life, with her body only getting stronger and more toned as she ages.
The fashion designer has lifted the lid on the simple rules she follows in an Instagram post which garnered 48 million views – from the benefits of lying with her legs in the air, to how giggling keeps her stomach looking taut.
“I think my legs are in better shape than they were in my twenties,” Sue, from Germany, told What’s The Jam.
“I’ve been focusing on fitness all of my life, dancing until I was 17 and trying out new things – I love a challenge.
“Since I started doing weight training, my legs have become very toned, and I’m stronger than ever.”
As well as spending time working out, Sue shared six “unique hacks” she swears by to keep her legs looking “fabulous”.
LEG ELEVATION
Sue said: “After a long day, I lie down and elevate my legs against the wall for 15 minutes.
“This reduces swelling and promotes better circulation.”
ALTERNATING TEMPERATURE SHOWERS
Sue also mixes up the water temperature in her shower, alternating between hot and cold, which she says is a “game changer”.
She said: “This enhances blood flow and firms up the skin on my legs.”
COFFEE SCRUB
Next, the fitness buff creates a scrub using coffee grounds, brown sugar and almond oil to use as a “natural exfoliant”.
She said: “Massaging this blend onto my legs in circular motions smooths the skin and boosts circulation.”
HIGH-FIBRE DIET
As with any health advocate, Sue is also a staunch supporter of the high-fibre diet.
She said: “Lots of fruits, veggies and wholegrains help reduce water retention, keeping my legs lean and toned.”
The 5 best exercises to lose weight
By Lucy Gornall, personal trainer and health journalist
EXERCISE can be intimidating and hard to devote yourself to, particularly at this time of year, when the rain is as relentless as your craving for carbs.
So how do you find the right workout for you?
As a PT and fitness journalist, I’ve tried everything.
I’ve taken part in endless fitness competitions, marathons and I maintain a regime of runs, strength training and Pilates.
Fitness is so entrenched in my life, I stick to it even at Christmas!
The key is finding an activity you love that can become a habit.
My top five forms of exercise, especially if you’re trying to lose weight, are:
- Walking
- Running
- Pilates
- High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
- Strength training
HAIR REMOVAL
In the evenings, the fashion designer spends time preening to keep her legs looking their best.
She said: “I always shave or wax in the evening – this allows any irritation to subside overnight, so I wake up with silky smooth legs.”
LEG COUNTOURING
And finally, Sue recommends using bronzer on the legs to make them look even better.
She said: “A little makeup magic goes a long way.
“Applying a subtle bronzer along the sides of my legs creates the illusion of length and definition.”
As for her taut and toned stomach? Sue recommends taking cold showers and ice baths, trying to stand up instead of sitting down wherever possible, practice a stomach ‘vacuuming’ exercise to strengthen the core, cut processed sugar, and to laugh as much as possible to engage the abs.
Sue’s message for her 300,000 followers is simple: embrace your age – but don’t let it limit you.
She added: “Don’t be afraid to age.
“But don’t be afraid to make changes either.
“Find your discipline and just do it every day, no matter how you feel – because eventually you always feel better.
“Even if it’s just 10 minutes, it’s the quality time that you deserve for yourself.”

I put strange feeling in toes down to ‘pregnancy niggles’ – then a catastrophic scan revealed I had only a year to live
A MUM put a strange sign in her toes down to pregnancy niggles – but she was given just a year to live after a catastrophic scan revealed the true cause.
Laura Mahon, 31, had no idea that her world was about to come crashing down when she noticed she couldn’t curl her toes halfway through her first ever pregnancy.
She pressed doctors for an MRI scan and when the results came back in September 2021, they were devastating.
Laura said: “They told me I had a brain tumour – a glioma – and that I probably only had a year to live.
“I was brokenhearted and worried for myself, my husband, Danny, and our unborn daughter, Sienna. We went home and just cried.”
The couple, from St Helens, Merseyside, faced an unthinkable decision: continue with the pregnancy or start aggressive treatment that might endanger their baby’s life.
“We wanted to give Sienna the best possible chance,” Laura said.
“The neonatal team told us that aiming for 32 weeks was ideal, as babies generally do better at that stage.
“I couldn’t have contrast dye during my MRI so the doctors couldn’t see the tumour clearly. But they suspected it was aggressive and needed surgery right away.
“It was a tough decision – my life versus my baby’s. In the end, we chose to wait as long as we could for Sienna’s sake.”
By 27 weeks, Laura’s condition had worsened.
“The cancer was spreading,” she said.
“I lost feeling in my right arm and started to lose the mobility of my leg and struggled to walk. It was just awful.
“I knew the tumour was growing in my head, and I couldn’t do anything about it until my baby was safely delivered.
“I tried to keep myself distracted and remain positive every day, but I could feel myself getting worse and feared for my life.
“We didn’t really handle it very well – every day was torture. Danny just tried to keep me positive and reassured me everything would be OK.”
At 30 weeks doctors performed an emergency C-section under general anaesthetic. Sienna was 10 weeks early and tiny – but healthy.
With her little girl safely delivered, Laura began treatment.
“I was told brain cancer is really hard to treat, especially when the tumour is inoperable,” she said.
“I went through chemo and radiotherapy, but nothing worked.
“For a long time, I knew the day would come when they’d say there was nothing more they could do for me.”
In June 2024, Laura’s health took a dramatic turn for the worse, as she suffered more than 50 seizures over the course of just three days.
My tumour is growing and spreading. Things are getting worse. I’m not sure how much longer I have
Laura Mahon
Doctors were unable to stop them, and she was eventually admitted to The Walton Centre, a specialist neurology facility.
Two months later, she and Danny received the news they had always feared; the NHS had no more treatment options.
“My tumour had grown significantly, and my liver function had deteriorated to the point where chemotherapy was no longer viable. But still, I refuse to give up,” she said.
The family has explored private treatment options to extend Laura’s life and give her more time with her loved ones.
Trials in London offer a glimmer of hope, but they are expensive and the family is raising money on GoFundMe to cover the cost.
On borrowed time
In the three years since her diagnosis, Laura has shared her experience on Instagram and TikTok.
She’s also spoken out about how brain cancer research is severely underfunded and more needs to be done to find treatments that can give patients like her a fighting chance.
Laura said: “Brain cancer kills more children and adults under 40 than any other cancer, yet it receives only 1 per cent of the national spend on cancer research.
“This disparity has fuelled my determination to raise awareness and funds for brain cancer research.”
Laura has endured hundreds of seizures over the years, which often leave her unconscious, disoriented, and unaware of her surroundings.
The most common symptoms of a brain tumour
More than 12,000 Brits are diagnosed with a primary brain tumour every year — of which around half are cancerous — with 5,300 losing their lives.
The disease is the most deadly cancer in children and adults aged under 40, according to the Brain Tumour Charity.
Brain tumours reduce life expectancies by an average of 27 years, with just 12 per cent of adults surviving five years after diagnosis.
There are two main types, with non-cancerous benign tumours growing more slowly and being less likely to return after treatment.
Cancerous malignant brain tumours can either start in the brain or spread there from elsewhere in the body and are more likely to return.
Brain tumours can cause headaches, seizures, nausea, vomiting and memory problems, according to the NHS.
They can also lead to changes in personality weakness or paralysis on one side of the problem and problems with speech or vision.
The nine most common symptoms are:
- Headaches
- Seizures
- Feeling sick
- Being sick
- Memory problems
- Change in personality
- Weakness or paralysis on one side of the body
- Vision problems
- Speech problems
If you are suffering any of these symptoms, particularly a headache that feels different from the ones you normally get, you should visit your GP.

She takes medication to control them but the growth of the tumour means that they happen more frequently.
“Sometimes I get a slight warning that one is about to come on, but other times it just happens,” she explained
As a result, she’s no longer allowed to drive, and she would need to be seizure and tumour free for at least two years before even considering it.
“I’ve promised her a Mercedes if she can do it,” her husband Danny said with a bittersweet smile.
“My tumour is growing and spreading,” Laura said. “Things are getting worse. I’m not sure how much longer I have.”

Jack O’Connor’s touching gesture to Mick O’Dwyer after 2022 All-Ireland triumph remembered following icon’s death
JACK O’Connor’s kind gesture to Mick O’Dwyer after the 2022 All-Ireland final has been remembered following the latter’s death.
That year saw Kerry regain Sam Maguire for the first time 2014 after a thrilling decider versus Galway.
Fittingly, O’Connor took the trophy down to O’Dwyer’s home.
It gave the man who’d delivered more times than any manager in the history of Gaelic football, one last chance to have close-up look at the iconic silverware.
The 88-year-old’s death has triggered tributes nationwide from sporting figures and beyond.
An Taoiseach Micheal Martin said: “I am deeply saddened at the passing of Mick O’Dwyer – an icon of Gaelic Games.
“Micko lived and breathed Gaelic football. He embodied everything good about the game – dedication, ambition, positivity and community.
“His sporting legacy is unmatched. He will forever be one of Kerry’s iconic players, winning four senior All Ireland medals in 1959, 1962, 1969 and 1970.
“During his tenure as manager in 1975 to 1989, Kerry took the Sam Maguire Cup back to the Kingdom eight times.
“Over his sporting career, Micko appeared in 21 senior All Ireland finals – an outstanding achievement in itself.
“After the Kingdom, Micko had further success as a manager, leading Kildare and Laois to Leinster titles and guiding Wicklow to a Tommy Murphy Cup win.
“The Waterville man’s intercounty career lasted well into his seventies, until he retired as Clare manager in 2014 at the age of 77.
“Despite his many, many sporting achievements, Micko remained humble. In RTE’s 2018 documentary on his life, Micko famously said: “I had a marvellous run, but wasn’t I lucky to be born in Kerry.”
“Kerry, and all of us, were lucky to have him.
“My deepest sympathies to all his family and the entire GAA community.
“Solas na bhFlaitheas ar a anam. Leaba i measc na Naomh go raibh aige.”
MARTY’S MEMORIES
Veteran RTE GAA reporter Marty Morrissey has also penned a lengthy tribute to “Micko”.
He lays out the lifelong passion for Gaelic football which went on to spark a 57-year career between playing and coaching at the elite level.
Morrissey hails: “A hotelier and mechanic by profession, his love of football simply consumed him from an early age.
“At 17, he played for the Kerry minors, losing in the All-Ireland MFC final.
“He subsequently made his debut for the Kerry seniors in the National Football League in the 1956/57 season.
“As a Kerry footballer he won four All-Ireland medals in 1959, 1962, 1969, and 1970; 12 Munster Championships, including eight in a row; and eight National Football Leagues titles.
“He retired in 1974 but a year later transferred from being a inter-county footballer to become the new Kerry boss.
“So began an incredible career as an inter-county manager. Indeed, he emerged as one of the greatest football managers of all time.”
Morrissey eventually concludes on a personal note, adding: “He was unique.
“His legacy and achievements will last forever. His contribution to the counties he coached will never be forgotten.
“A sign of the man was the fact his last management role was at the helm of the Waterville Under-14 football team.
“Mick O’Dwyer was 88 years of age. A true GAA legend. Rest in peace my friend.”
