Remember me
Judy Murray has revealed the secrets to maintaining her active lifestyle and how she stays in incredible shape.
The tennis coach, 66, said the idea of ageing doesn't faze her as she invests in a 'youthful outlook' on life.
In a new interview with the Daily Mail, Judy said 'running around after her six grandchildren' is one way she keeps active.
Judy is grandmother to Andy's four children – three girls and a boy – with his wife Kim, and to Jamie and his wife Alejandra's daughter.
While she says she doesn't play tennis or eat particularly healthy anymore, Judy exercises through golf, swimming and workouts.
The mother of tennis legends Andy and Jamie said: 'I am probably very active still for my age and I've always been very active. I also work a lot with young people and children and I do think that that helps you to keep a more youthful outlook on life.
'I don't play tennis anymore. I play golf, but I work a lot, you know, in terms of being on court and I'm not as active as I used to be, but being physically active, I enjoy that.

'I enjoy exercise, I enjoy sport. It is a way of life for me and will always continue to be.'
She added: 'It's the same with what I eat. I don't eat super, super healthy, but I try and get a good balance of everything that I need to give me energy for the day and also to get a good sleep, you know, and as you get older, you don't need as much sleep, but you need to make sure you've got enough sleep.
'I think it's that balance of what you eat and how active you are. But I have a youthful outlook on life and I have six grandchildren to run after now.
'So it's very important that I can get up and down off the ground quickly and speed off the mark quickly to chase after them.'
As she nears her seventies, Judy said she has incorporated strength work into her workouts.
'I think you have to accept it', she said. 'It is part of ageing. I've read up a lot on, you know, between 60 and 70.
'It is really important to work on retaining your strength, for example, because if you want to be active between 70 and 80, you need to invest that time now.
'So doing a few more sessions in the gym, I swim a lot, probably every second day when I'm home, I will try to swim.
'But doing the strength work in the gym, which I find incredibly boring. I'm making myself do it because I have to invest in myself for the future.'
After spending years in the sunshine on tennis courts, Judy hammered home on the use of SPF 50 as she detailed her skincare regime.

Judy shared: 'I look after my skin with what I put on my skin with my cleansing, moisturising routines. And I also try and do facial exercises as well, so I'm trying to do it as naturally as I possibly can.
'You should probably try and use SPF 50 every day, even if it's not sunny, and I think over the many years that I worked outside, when I was coaching tennis or travelling on the tour, I probably was guilty of not using enough sun lotion.
'So actually using a moisturiser that has SPF in it, for me, is incredibly important.'
Judy has joined forces with Reskinned and Dr Beckmann to highlight the scale of the UK's textile whites clothing waste problem with 'Murry Mound' - an installation unveiled on London's Southbank to mark the start of The Championships.
Research commissioned by Reskinned reveals that Britons discard an average of eight white clothing items per person every year, that's 440,178,024 white garments annually across the UK.
As someone who has worn white clothing throughout her career, Judy is on a mission to encourage Brits to keep their whites in play for longer and out of landfill.
Judy said: 'I've been working with Dr Beckmann on their campaign to raise awareness of the amount of white clothing waste that is accumulated across the UK.
'I will never own a pair of white trousers other than white tracksuit trousers that I have to wear when I attend tennis things at clubs and that is a lot to do with worried about what you sit on, getting stains over things.
'You only have to wash them once and you lose a bit of the brightness or the white and then when they look a bit off white, you're like, "Oh, what am I going to do with these?"
'And that is a big part of the campaign, raising people's awareness of as soon as something becomes a bit discolored or stained for whatever reason, how often we just chuck them in the bin.'

Sharing her tips and tricks to keep her whites white, Judy explained: 'The first thing is obviously to do white only wash. There are so many people in the UK who admit to not doing a white only wash, which I don't understand at all.
'I do a lot of hand washing and I do a lot of scrubbing. And that's mainly because I don't have enough white things to put in an all whitewash.
'But also looking for the products that help you to keep whites whiter and I think that was one of the great things about working with Dr Beckmann is that they have products that really help with that.
'You know, the glow whites, the sweat stain removers - I wish these things had been around years ago when my two were playing junior tournaments because that would have been so much help for me.'
