    I know Ms. Ernestine, who is 20 years my senior and has been my inspiration for years. I hope what people get from this video is that it's never too late to start; Ms. E started at age 56. Commitment and consistency to your health and fitness will not only transform your body but also your life.

      Awesome! What a beautiful and inspiring lady! I started rock climbing at 56 also and training after my husbands tragic death.. through some transitions and big moves I’ve slacked some lately.. this is my “get going hard again” wake up! Although my path is strict vegetarian as ethical vegan, and intermittent fasting close to OMAD, feel better than ever and plan to be rock climbing at 100✌🏼

    How encouraging is this? Wowzer!...I was always active in my youth and competed in the 80s. At 38 I did my last contest after having a baby, I just wanted to see if I could come back. I looked great, but single parenting had it's priorities. At 66 I went back into the gym April of 2022. It's almost been a year and I can't believe how my body has transformed back to my competitive days. I'm so happy. You got to do the work.
    Doctors just wanted me on drugs that could have nasty side effects trying to get off them...I never took the prescription, but every time i went in he would ask me if I needed the prescription filled?! Did he was me hooked? Scary thing for sure. I went back to bodybuilding style of eating and training and took care of it myself! We have to be our own advocate or end up a druggy.
    It's never too late, just start. I'm excited now to see how my fitness develops each birthday. This year I'll be 68 and thank you Ms. Shepherd for giving us something to look forward to. I'm totally reinspired!

    Ms. Ernestine is an inspiration to women and one thing I'd like to add to her statement about positivity -- keep the wrong people out of your life. The wrong people are those whose values do not align with yours, negative, know-it-all's, back biters, manipulators etc. Cut them out of your life if they're in it, if they're trying to get in, don't let them.
