Trinny Woodall, the 62-year-old founder of a £200 million beauty empire, pledges to stay visible and vibrant as she ages. She prioritizes health and energy to defy the notion that women fade with time.
Challenging Aging Norms
Woodall dismisses comments urging women to ‘age gracefully,’ insisting no rules dictate how to grow older. Energy levels, she explains, determine visibility: ‘When women are tired, we disappear. When we’re full of energy, people notice us.’
Her drive stems from family history—her mother battled Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis. Woodall focuses on staying able-bodied: ‘I want to be able-bodied, rather than incapacitated, so I’m doing everything I can to stay well.’
Relentless Ambition
Despite her business success with Trinny London, Woodall admits perpetual dissatisfaction: ‘I’m never happy. I’m not unhappy, because it’s important to acknowledge how far we’ve come.’
10-Minute Workout for Vitality
Woodall recently showcased her toned abs in a social media video, demonstrating a quick 10-minute routine. Dressed in a sports bra and leggings, she steps onto a vibrating plate while holding weights.
‘I haven’t done exercise for a week,’ she shares. ‘And it makes me think, you know, I just want to keep the energy that I get from exercise.’ The plate aids lymphatic drainage, bone density—crucial given her family history—and overall regularity. She adds calf raises for ankle strength and balance: ‘Look at something in front of you because it can be quite difficult on the balance.’
Woodall nurtures her body decade by decade. ‘I’ve learned how important it is to love yourself,’ she says. ‘Whatever my body’s going through, whether it’s the postmenopausal underarm sluggishness or knock knees, it’s part of who I am. I really nurture my body. I try and think, “What does it need this month?” Your relationship with your body should be strong.’
She credits the vibrating plate for daily regularity: ‘This vibrating plate is really good to help me have a poo in the morning.’ Woodall pairs it with LED face masks for skincare, explaining each mask’s benefits after exfoliation.
Recent Highlights
Back from a joyful trip to India, Woodall posted photos of her toned physique amid luxurious settings in Udaipur. ‘Three days in India felt like a week of such a joy and celebration,’ she wrote, praising the food, decor, and reunions.
In February, she marked her 62nd birthday with friends, displaying her ageless complexion.
