Build Muscle with a 93-Year-Old

It’s never too late to start moving and getting stronger. 93-year-old Estelle proves that if you’re good to your body, your body will be good to you – at any age. 

Estelle works out six days a week, including strength training, walking, and once a week spin and pilates classes. She shares her philosophy on life in this 2020 video.

We met up with Estelle in her hometown of New York, where she walked yes2next through one of her strength training sessions. A heads up that it’s an advanced workout with core moves on the floor.
