Alexa! Play Jill Scott. “Living my life like it’s golden!” Silver hair is the new Black hair, 70 is the new 50, and those Golden Years are not for rocking chairs. If Ageless was “I can show you better than I can tell you”, please welcome our first, weekly installment of FLYLIST. Fly, Hip, & Ageless prides itself on showcasing the most inspirational and aspirational influencers of the FHA Community. These over 70 influencers just happen to be over the age of 70.
Call them myth-busters or trendsetters but what we will not do is call them old or even worse, granfluencers. We refer to them simply as influencers around here, as they inspire followers with their wisdom, phenomenal style, fitness gains, and more.
Here are five influencers you need to follow that that remind us there are no shortcuts for loving yourself or for good old-fashioned, sweat equity. Please follow for the ageless but stay because they are Fly.

Instagram has been called the domain of the Renaissance man, and this Vietnam Veteran fits the bill. The epitome of #fitspo (fitness inspiration), allow us to introduce you to a man that has yet to find a place he can’t perform push-ups. Harry embodies a commitment to staying fit and in the present. With quotes like “extend your life by moving your body purposefully on a daily basis! Stay FIT” is not just a mantra but a battle cry. The most surprising bonus of his account is a killer playlist that embraces the very best of today’s music.

A breast cancer survivor, Sheila believes that a medical diagnosis or age should define you. This Stylish and stunning lady then proves it with fitness routines and takes from her leadership engagements. Sheila puts the Ah-mazing in aging, so do not sleep on her skincare tips, confidence boosters, and fun workouts. Then prepare to sit all the way down with her dancing videos.

@chefbabette
With six-pack abs that support a heart of gold and a joy for life that is contagious, if you love celebrity chefs, then you might already know Chef Babette’s name. But if you don’t, then you’ll want to get better acquainted with her and her Instagram feed boasting over 180K followers. That’s because Chef Babette is an elite, vegan, and raw food chef, fitness expert, and motivational speaker. She’s an author, runs a successful vegan restaurant, and produces online cooking classes. Her blinding smile and radiant skin are only mildly distracting as we question our commitment to self-care.
