British media personality Jo Whiley recently opened up about her fitness routine and how it has helped her maintain a healthy lifestyle. The 59-year-old radio DJ and host spoke candidly about her experience with menopause and how the gym has played a crucial role in keeping her strong and fit.
As she approaches her milestone 60th birthday, Jo is proud to show off her amazing abs and strong physique in a recent photoshoot. Having been in the industry for three decades, she has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. In fact, she has decided to up her fitness game to sustain her busy career and ensure she can be there for her children for as long as possible.
In an interview with Women's Health UK for their October cover, Jo shared how she struggles with running but loves working out and doing weights in the gym. She hopes to use her platform to start a conversation about the impact of menopause on women in their 50s and 60s, a topic that has long been overlooked in the media industry.
Jo also reflected on her personal experience with menopause, admitting that she felt weak during that time. She believes that the lack of open conversation about menopause, especially on social media, contributed to her struggles. However, going to the gym and getting stronger has helped her become the confident and resilient person she is today.
During this time, Jo and her family also had a wake-up call about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, following the deaths of several friends. She emphasized the importance of regular health checks and taking care of oneself, sharing that her family's motto was "can everybody stop dying?"
Aside from her fitness journey, Jo also talked about the changing atmosphere for women in the media industry, especially compared to her generation. She acknowledged that there was a lot of objectification of women and their bodies during her 20s and 30s, but she weathered the storm. Her oldest daughter, on the other hand, faced immense pressure to be skinny and dealt with fat-shaming growing up.
However, Jo praised the new generation of girls who are fearless and embrace themselves for who they are. As someone who has been in the industry for decades, Jo has seen it all and has crossed paths with some of the biggest names in the music industry, such as Madonna and Adele.
Currently, Jo hosts Radio 2's "In Concert" on Thursday, where she features live performances and talks about the latest music gigs. She also regularly attends the famous Glastonbury Festival and shared that the wildest thing she has ever witnessed there was the "mud people" during a particularly muddy year.
