Jane Fonda’s fitness videos were as big as women’s hairdos in the 80s. Don’t recall what they looked like? No worries, check out the workout below. How awesome are these outfits?
USATODAY recently chatted with Jane, age 72, and asked what secrets she has to staying fit.
“It’s a combination of things,” she says. “About a third of it is genetic, and we can’t do anything about it. But that means two-thirds we can do something about, and a major part of the can-do portion is staying active. It can be as simple as walking, swimming, moving, using light weights.”
Plus, you need to eat fresh, healthful foods and not fast food, she says.
“It’s treating our bodies with respect,” she adds, “staying curious, maintaining personal relationships, maintaining a social network, keeping our brains active. We need brain workouts. It’s trying to maintain a positive attitude and combating stress.”
She also shares that despite having a new knee and hip she’s still healthy. Jane is hosting “World Fitness Day”, this Saturday in Atlanta. She’ll be joined by Richard Simmons, Billy Banks, Debbie Allen and Denise Austin. The event will stream live on Ustream.tv.
