Jane Fonda Workout Routine & Diet Plan

What you won’t find here is the typical celebrity exercise routine with long lists of isolation exercises.

That’s not what keeps Jane fit at her age.

Instead, she focuses on remaining active and limber, both in body and brain.

Her exercise approach, adapting to age-related changes, mirrors what I advise in my health coaching. She does fewer, slower exercises, embodying my mantra at Taylor Made Fitness: do what you can, rather than nothing at all.

1. Daily Stretching

Jane attributes her youthful agility to daily stretching, a practice I emphasize with my clients for maintaining flexibility and preventing cramps and stiffness.

2. Light-weight Training

Working with her trainer, Malin, Jane uses light weights and resistance bands for back and core strength, vital for good posture. Her go-tos include stability ball squats, banded rows, and dumbbell chest presses.

3. Aerobic Exercises

Daily aerobic activities are key to Jane's youthful look. But it's not about marathon treadmill sessions.

She recommend:

• fast walking or hiking
• elliptical machines
• aerobics
• dance classes (like Zumba)

These exercises are heart-healthy and brain-rejuvenating, as backed by research published in the Trends in Neuroscience journal [1].

4. Outdoor Activities

Jane loves outdoor exercise and is always up for activities like skiing, snowshoeing, or challenging hikes. This variety not only keeps fitness fun but has also contributed to her successful workout book series.

Jane's openness about her past eating disorder and her subsequent self-education parallels the nutrition knowledge I impart to my clients as a holistic nutritionist.

“To overcome bulimia, I had to teach myself to eat all over again, like a child.”

Here are the main areas she focuses on:

1. Avoid The Junk

It's more than just saying no to burgers and pizza.

Jane recommends checking food's shelf life; the longer it lasts, the less healthy it likely is. She opts for fresh produce with shorter shelf lives, often found at farmers' markets.

2. Fresh Fruits And Vegetables

Her meals are a rainbow of fruits and veggies. The greater the color variety, the better for your health.

3. Intermittent Fasting

While not explicitly calling it fasting, Jane avoids eating during certain times, akin to intermittent fasting [2].

She suggests using apps like Noom to track food intake and macros. Keeping a close eye on salt intake is crucial too, to dodge blood pressure issues.
