Ernestine Shepherd is 74 years old and is in better shape than most people, decades her junior. Up at 3 a.m. every morning, she spends her days running, lifting weights and working out. She also works as a certified personal trainer at her gym.
If this woman doesn't motivate you to get started no matter where you are in your fitness level, I don't know what will!
Here's her story: In her early years she described herself as a prissy girl with little interest in athletics. At 56 she was overweight and had never exercised a day in her life. While bathing suit shopping with her sister they found themselves laughing at what they saw and decided to join a gym together. Suddenly losing her sister to a brain aneurysm gave her mor motivation to finish what she and her sister had started. Now she runs up to 80 miles a week while training for marathons. She started training to become a body builder in 2007 and in March of 2010 she was named the Guiness Book of World Records Oldest Female Body Builder. She eats small meals, makes sure she gets enough rest and keeps a positive attitude. Her motto is "Determined — Dedicated — Disciplined To Be Fit"
Check her out in action when she was featured of Good Morning America earlier this year.
Please use Ernestine Shepherd's story of success in fitness as motivation to improve your fitness life.
