Jane Fonda still exercises to her ’80s Workout Videos Every Day

Jane Fonda released her first workout video on VHS in 1982, and it’s the best-selling home video of all time, according to her website.  And she’s STILL doing it.

In an interview with Elle magazine, she said, quote, “It’s still relevant today because it really works.  I’m 85 now and I can’t do the full workout per se, but I do the same moves only slower and with less weight, every day…

“But the essential moves and the essential goal is the same: you want to strengthen your core and your back, which is especially important if you’re over 30.  You want to be able to carry your grandchildren.  And I can still do that.”

Jane also said she uses a lot of resistance bands instead of machines because she doesn’t want to go to the gym.  She attaches them to an iron banister.
