It may shock you to learn that Jada Pinkett Smith, one of few seemingly ageless celebrities, is 46 years old. But it may make more sense when you realize that defying the laws of time runs in her family.

Pinkett Smith recently shared a video of her 64-year-old mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, lifting weights and knocking out 15 reps. "Why is Gam Bam puttin me to shame???" Pinkett Smith joked in the caption.

Banfield-Jones posted a similar video to her own account and shouted out her trainer, Charles "Chizel It" Harris, in the caption.

"Knock'em out!" she wrote, adding the hashtag #cantstopwontstop.

The comments in both posts are flooded with admirers, thanking both women for the workout inspiration.

"She's putting us ALL to shame! Thanks for the motivation, gonna go hit the gym," reads one comment.

"Gam is the bomb. She just letting you know what you have to keep doing when you reach her level of glow!" one person wrote.

"If she can do it so can I," another wrote, adding the hashtag #50andover.

Pinkett Smith has praised her mom, as well as her mom's impressive fitness, many times before. In 2014, she shared a photo of Banfield-Jones, then 61 years old, taken by Willow Smith.

"Willow took this shot of her grandmother, my mother, emerging from the ocean today," Pinkett Smith wrote. "I wanna be her when I grow up:)."
