70-Year-Old Personal Trainer Shares Secrets to Youthful Appearance

Dagmar Carr, a 70-year-old personal trainer from Sydney, is frequently mistaken for a woman decades younger, attributing her vibrant appearance to a consistent routine of healthy habits. Her approach focuses on whole foods, regular exercise, and surprisingly inexpensive skincare.

Carr's diet emphasizes "nutritional awareness," prioritizing fresh, unprocessed ingredients. Her supermarket trolley typically contains fruits, vegetables, organic eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, rolled oats, meat, and fish. She advises eating larger portions earlier in the day and gradually reducing intake towards the evening. Breakfast often consists of psyllium husks soaked in warm water, cottage cheese, flaxseed oil, banana, pawpaw, kiwi fruit, berries, and a drizzle of honey. IMAGE1

She incorporates healthy fats like avocado, nuts, and olive oil into her meals, and occasionally indulges in almond-flour vanilla crescents or dates with peanut butter. Despite her healthy eating, Carr also enjoys alcoholic beverages with friends as a treat. IMAGE5

Carr's exercise regimen includes daily weight training. Three mornings a week, she wakes as early as 3:45 a.m. for yoga classes or personal training clients. IMAGE7 Despite her demanding schedule, she prioritizes getting seven to eight hours of sleep nightly.

For skincare, Carr relies on two affordable staples rather than expensive anti-aging products. Before bed, she uses Nivea Creme, priced at $10, and applies Nivea Rich Body Lotion, costing $6.99, each morning. IMAGE3

Carr believes that a positive mindset is the most powerful anti-aging tool. She developed this outlook after experiencing the loss of her mother in her 30s, stating, "I think to age well, it's to do with attitude."

Her dedication to fitness, nutrition, and skincare, combined with a positive outlook, contributes to her toned physique and boundless energy. IMAGE9
