Wendy was not always like this: she began to work out only after turning 40. Back then, she says, she had a bad job, a man killing her self-esteem, and excess weight. And now she is one of the most famous fitness gurus in the US. Another confirmation that it’s never too late to change.

The secret: Two of Wendy’s greatest strengths are patience and perseverance. She keeps to a diet, eating a lot of protein, fruits, and vegetables. She also does regular cardio and weight training.
