A decision on if she'll appear on the cover is expected to be made by the end of May.

"Anyone can do this at any age," Flowers said. "If you start and get going at it and make it a consistent part of your life, you can achieve all kinds of wonderful things."

Flowers said she thinks anyone who focuses on their health and fitness is likely to eventually see some rewarding results.
