56-year-old Linda Williams is a ray of sunshine. She’s also proof that it’s never too late to make a change. “When I was in my early 50s, I was menopausal. I felt lost. I felt gray. I felt wiped out. I was feeling very lost, overweight. And I just really knew I wanted to make a difference,” she explains.

Linda’s first port of call? Overhauling her skin. “My skin was awful, and I knew I needed to do something,” Linda explains. “So I found Trinny London and I’ve never looked back. It changed my skin, it changed my world.”

With her confidence in her skin boosted, Linda felt ready to address her physical health too. She restarted training with a coach, Lucy, who encouraged her to try weight lifting – a completely different approach to the running and cardio Linda was used to.

“The very first time I went into the gym with Lucy, my coach, and I got on a machine and went, ‘I can’t do this.’ And she went, ‘You can.’ And there was almost like a switch: ‘I can do this.’ It all just started from there.”

“Now, at nearly 57, I’ve proven that you can make a huge change in your life. You can work for what you want. It’s not easy, it is hard work, but it’s so rewarding when it happens. This has transformed my life. I’m the fittest I’ve ever been, I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been, and the happiest.”

So, how does Linda balance a jam-packed gym schedule with a dedicated skincare routine? “Plump Up really sets me up for the day,” she says. “It’s such a lovely product, the quality’s amazing, and I know it’s really helping my skin. It is actually confidence in a bottle.”

“Every morning, when I’m using my cleanser, and then when I’m putting on my Plump Up, I talk to myself in the mirror and remind myself how far I’ve come and I can do whatever the day throws at me.”

What would Linda say to anyone reading this who thinks they can’t follow her lead? ‘I think any woman of a certain age feels they can’t. And what was life-changing for me, I was really lucky that I had Lucy (Linda’s trainer) in my pocket and Trinny in my pocket. Once you get somebody who believes in you, that makes such a difference. You can do this, you absolutely can.”
