Jane Fonda reveals: She still does her legendary workouts today

However, the motivation to exercise is different today than it was in the 1980s: 'Back then, sport had something to do with my appearance for me. Now it's about how I feel.' As she got older, she experienced 'that you get big problems if you don't use your muscles and joints all the time'. She wants to counteract this with training.

She's not concerned with keeping her figure as slim as possible. The desire to 'be bone thin' is 'not good' for either physical or mental health. The partner 'may not like it either because you can hurt your hip bones!' adds the actress.

Jane Fonda announced on Instagram last September that she had been diagnosed with cancer again. Captioning a photo of herself, the two-time Oscar winner wrote: 'I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and have started chemotherapy.'

She was able to end this shortly before her 85th birthday on December 21st. 'Last week I was told by my oncologist that my cancer is in remission and I can go off chemo. I feel so blessed, so happy. Thank you to everyone who has prayed and sent me kind thoughts,' the actress wrote in a post on their website.

It wasn't Jane Fonda's first fight against cancer: In an interview with British 'Vogue' she explained in 2019: 'I've often had cancer. [...] I was a sun worshiper. If I have a day off, I go regularly to my dermatologist and have any conspicuous areas removed by surgery.' In 2018, she had cancerous tissue removed from her lower lip. In 2010, a routine checkup revealed a small tumor in her breast. After an operation, she was considered cured.
