At first glance, Linda Wood-Hoyte looks like a very fit 40-something woman. But don't be fooled by her appearance. Linda is much older than you think, and she shocked the audience at The Rachael Ray Show, when it was revealed how old she really is.

The audience was asked to guess how old Linda was, and most people guessed 45. Every single person's jaw dropped when Linda announced she was actually 74 years old. Can you believe it?

Linda is used to people's eyes widening when she tells them her real age. That's what she said during one of her previous interviews:

She's worked hard to look so incredible, and believes anyone is capable of following her example:

There is no age factor. You can do as much as you're able to do. Body is a machine, you gotta use it, or you lose it.
