Buckley’s girlfriend shares plan to live to 120

Nathan Buckley’s ‘fitspo’ girlfriend Alex Pike says spending time staring directly into the sun is one of the tricks that will help her live to be 120 years old.

Nathan Buckley’s intriguing ‘fitspo’ girlfriend Alex Pike has declared she wants to live to be 120.

Pike, who is currently 44 and diligent about fending off the signs of ageing, revealed her ambitious personal plan on The Ageless podcast.

“I want to live to 120 and that is my goal,” Pike, a cosmetic injector and newly-minted WAG, said of her hopes to get another 76 years on her body clock.

Pike, who has been dating former Collingwood coach Buckley, 49, since January, has seen her profile skyrocket in recent months thanks to her bombshell appearance and rigorous fitness and health routines that she shares on social media.

She embraces the seductive idea of getting better with age.

“I’m a firm believer in spending some time in the sun without sunglasses on and really looking into the sun directly,” she told the podcast of her health hacks.

“I think it is really healing and really good for your energy levels.”

It should be noted, staring directly at the sun is not recommended as a safe practise by medical and scientific experts.

“I have had everything,” she said on the subject of cosmetic surgery.

“Obviously I have had breast augmentation twice after (the birth of) my first two children.”

Botox is near and dear to her.

“I love it. I like anti-wrinkle, I like what it does to the skin, I like how my skin feels when it is working. It slows down those static wrinkles and I think it is a wonderful medication,” she said.

Cutting out alcohol was a key to unlocking her new life.

“I am just not good on alcohol, so I try to avoid that as much as possible,” she said.

“I would say that I was more of a binge drinker, but from giving it away everything just started to be better – parenting, looks, body, work, focus, like everything.”

She practices cold therapy, “I have a cold shower every day”, and walks a minimum of 10km daily.

She also does weight training, pilates, meditation, drinks three litres of water a day, eats well and find ways to raise her vibrations through things such as music therapy.

She said her relationship with Buckley worked as they were equals.

“It is a feeling of being really equal,” she said.

“We are both really amazing on our own and then when we come together it is a very equal feeling of supporting each other and it is really lovely.”

Pike is planning to launch an online eight-week fitness and lifestyle program next year called Inside Out Beauty where she shares her knowledge and experience.
