Jane Fonda’s home training videos became popular in the 1980s and aimed to make wellness more accessible. Fonda revealed that her initial tutorial with her team is still the most popular home video of all time. According to Fonda, her videos were meant to help women who can’t afford to go to a gym or feel self-conscious about being in a gym, or can’t go to a gym because they have a young child.

Fonda expressed her fascination with her home workout videos’ positive impact on people’s lives. While some initially engaged with the workouts to achieve weight loss, she was moved by the stories of women who experienced transformative effects beyond physical fitness. From managing diabetes without medication to gaining the confidence to assert themselves at work, these empowering outcomes deeply resonated with Fonda.

Jane Fonda, the Oscar-winning actress and environmental advocate, shared her perspective on aging in an interview with Vogue. She encourages women not to fear growing older, emphasizing that age should not limit one’s enjoyment of life, relationships, or pursuing new experiences. At 85 years old, Fonda believes in breaking the stereotypes associated with age and embracing the freedom to continue living life to the fullest.

Reflecting on her past, Jane Fonda openly expressed her regret regarding her choice to undergo a facelift.

Addressing the topic of her personal experience with plastic surgery, Jane Fonda acknowledged the prevalence of wealthy women undergoing various facelift procedures, often resulting in unfavorable outcomes. Although she had a facelift, she consciously decided to halt further procedures as she did not wish to appear “distorted.” Fonda openly admitted her lack of pride in having undergone such surgery.

You’re as old as you feel.

Jane Fonda is an inspiring example of embracing aging and leading a vibrant, fulfilling life even in old age. Her active and engaging lifestyle demonstrates that age does not limit one’s ability to enjoy cool and exciting experiences. As she once said, “You can be really old at 60, and you can be really young at 85.”

Jane Fonda believes that staying healthy should be a priority.

Fonda emphasizes the importance of cultivating an active lifestyle from a young age, positively impacting long-term mobility and overall well-being. She shared, “I don’t do a lot of facials, I don’t spend a lot of money on face creams or anything like that, but I stay moisturized, I sleep, I move, I stay out of the sun, and I have good friends who make me laugh. Laughter is a good thing too.”

Celebrities like Jane Fonda, Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Love Hewitt serve as inspiring examples that aging doesn’t have to be as intimidating as society often portrays it. Their graceful approach to growing older demonstrates that the journey of aging can be fulfilling and empowering with self-care, a positive mindset, and embracing one’s natural beauty.
