Days before her 67th birthday in 2021, Brinkley reminded us all why she remains iconic,joking in her captionthat she’s “turning 50 for the 17th time!” The mom of threeshowed off her hard-earned abs and toned legs in a mirror selfiewearing a matching teal workout crop top and leggings set.
While Brinkley said she “pretty much” has always ignored her age because “I never felt as old as the number anyway,” that started to change last year. “After my very nasty break of my right arm and the frozen shoulder it gave me I couldn’t do downward dogs, planks, push ups and at the other end my hip was getting worse with each passing year and long bike rides left me limping…I started to feel limited! Restricted! Dare I say… old!” the starwrote in the caption.
Now that Brinkley’s back to her fitness regimen, she feels herself “getting stronger everyday.”
“I like [to] think I’m ready for anything…a hike, swim dive, paddle, ride, ski, and even a big piece of birthday cake! Hey I can work it off! ⛹️♀️🤾♀️🧘🏼♀️🏄🏼♀️🚣🚴🏼♀️⛷🛼⛸🏓🛷🎂,” she added.
