Never Too Old to Exercise!

Here is an inspirational video of a 72 year-old woman, Ernestine Shepherd, who is in amazing shape–not just for a senior citizen, but for someone of any age! Ernestine recently won the Guinness World Record Award for the oldest female bodybuilding champion. She is a true fitness inspiration and reinforces just how beneficial exercise is for everyone, no matter their age.

  1. Now that is inspiring! I will remember this the next time I’m lacking motivation to get moving and exercise. Ernestine is a reminder of the great benefits that come from being active.

  4. Thanks so much for sharing this link! Very inspirational and motivational. And she’s right: most females are still intimidated by the gym environment, equipment, etc.
    Great post!! 🙂

  5. Hello Brad,

    I saw the video of Ms. Sheppard. I am truly inspired. I am 64 years old and no one believes my age. I now have to work on a body like Ms. Sheppard. God bless her. I am an ex-runner and I used to lift weights. However, I will start up again. This video was awesome. Also, you can do anything that you put your mind to do.

    Peace n’ love
