It would be an understatement to say that Ernestine Shepherd is in better condition than most people. The 81-year-old bodybuilder lives by the words “determined, dedicated and disciplined” to stay in the best health possible.

Yes. You heard that right. Ernestine Shepherd works out every day. But this was not always the case.

“Earlier in life, I really did not think too much about eating correctly nor exercising, but as time went on, my mind changed completely,” she says.

One day she went out shopping with her sister, Mildred Blackwell. Shepherd tried on a swimsuit. She says she did not like how it fit her. She says both women realised they were out of shape.

Blackwell suggested the sisters take a fitness class to lose weight and get in shape. So at age 56, alongside her sister, Shepherd started to exercise.

She says her sister inspired her to do more than just exercise.
