Three Generations Of Body Goals: ‘They Get It From Their Mama’

There's an old saying that goes something like, "if you want to know what a woman will look like when she gets older, look at her mother." That myth was passed down from generation to generation and most of the times it was false, but a recent photo of Jada Pinkett Smith on her instagram seems to prove that saying to be true.

Jada Pinkett-Smith, 49, her 66-year-old mom, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, and the 20-year-old daughter Willow showed the three generations of women, their flat stomachs, toned bodies and fabulous figures in a workout selfie.

“That three generational thing✨,” Jada captioned the Sunday Instagram shot, which has since garnered more than 1.1 million likes and 30,000 comments.

The three are tight knit, and launched their own Facebook talk show, Red Table Talk, where they share captivating personal stories.

“I feel like the only real valuable thing in life is sharing what we’ve gone through. Conversation, storytelling, pain, pleasure, joy, happiness and communicating that to each other is all that life really is,” Willow said.

Pinkett Smith told PEOPLE her mother is “old school, Willow is new school, and I find myself right in the middle.”

But it seems like the old school is winning! Grandmother Banfield-Jones previously showed off her abs on her own Instagram in May, when she posted a revealing shot of herself in a colorful bikini.

“Why is Gam Bam putting me to shame???” Pinkett Smith captioned the post.

Dozens of fans admired the family members' toned physiques and praised their dedication to fitness in the instagram comments.

“That is the coolest picture l've seen in a long time,” one commenter wrote. “If I could name it, I would call it...

... the present the past and the future. Amazing!!!!”

“Just wow!! Rock it ladies! Inspiration!!” a fan added.

Either way, it seems like the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. And that's a good thing when you know the tree bears good fruit.

Keep it up ladies!
