I, David Wayne Fish of California, look up to a lot of individuals. Celebrities, sportsmen, political leaders—through example, they help me strive to become a better person. But out of all of them, there is a set of people I really like to watch out for: fitness gurus. I always get inspired by their dedication to motivating others to live a healthy lifestyle.

One of these fitness gurus is Jane Fonda.

For those of you who do not know her, Jane Fonda was the face of fitness for many Americans in the 1980s. Released in 1982, her workout program called Jane Fonda’s Workout inspired lots of people to lead fit and active lives. It got so popular that it became one of the highest-selling home videos ever, with more than a million copies sold.

Now, nearing the age of 75, Fonda released a new DVD entitled Prime Time: AM/PM Yoga for Beginners. This new program introduces the world of yoga to baby boomers. For the fitness guru, it is a way to tell people that being healthy shouldn’t be defined by age. The program’s bound to teach its viewers that in exercising, age does not matter.

“If you can’t run, walk … If you can’t lift heavy weights, so lift light weights. But just keep yourself physically active. It makes all the difference not just for your body, but for your brain as well,” Fonda said when interviewed by CNN.
