Guinness World Record Oldest Female Bodybuilder Ernestine Shepherd is in better shape than 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.

Feeling better than she did at 40, bodybuilding champion Ernestine Shepherd shows us that being out of shape as we age truly is merely an option — not a mandate. She is role model not just for senior women everywhere, but for every one of us.

Inspired by Sylvester Stallone, she is a die-hard “Rocky” fan, and fan of Michelle Obama.

“Sylvester Stallone is my man, and I would love to meet him one day,” said Shepherd.

She is also looking for an excuse to meet former First Lady Michelle Obama and help her with her work on controlling obesity, who she calls “so beautiful, inside and out.”

She feels they are on the same mission and should combine their work.
