At age 74, will you look as good as Ernestine Shepherd, the oldest competitive female bodybuilder?

Very inspiring lady — no doubt, but read closely and the hard work she puts into it. Especially when it comes to what she eats. It’s not easy to be in this sort of shape but even half in shape as she is – is worth it. You are never too young to make a change —

“Age is nothing but a number,” Shepherd says assuredly into the microphone. She has been featured in Essence, on the “Today” show and local television in Baltimore. Last fall, she appeared on “The Mo’Nique Show,” explaining fitness and aging. “We can do it! Why?” Shepherd asks. “Because we are determined, dedicated and disciplined to be fit. You can. You can do it.”
