Thank you for sharing! Very inspiring and moving.

Seen her before, but all good. I lover her voice and could listen to her all day.

Very cool, will show it to my parents. Might inspire them a bit to get started.

Sorry if this is a repost - this was my first time seeing it. I was just really blown away by her attitude and commitment to fitness. I agree, there is something very captivating and moving in the way that she speaks.

More power to her.
She's a beautiful lady.

Thanks for the post. I've never seen it and it is very inspiring. I could read stuff like this all day.
It's much better than seeing the "formula" tabloid news/shock journalism that is spit out every day.

My hat's off to people like this lady. Good for her!

Ernestine Shepherd is an amazing woman. I like the way she teaches and spreads the fitness word.

I've seen this before, but it's always worth viewing again. Terrific person and even more terrific attitude. Beautiful skin tone for someone her age, much more youthful than a person would expect from someone that age. Teaches a simple but important lesson. Wonderful voice...I could listen to her speak all day and never tire of it.

I want to be Ernestine when I grow up -what an amazing woman she is!

Great post thanks for sharing.

That's was so moving! Thanks for sharing.
I had seen her picture before but never saw this. What a gorgeous woman in and out.
Keeping it bookmarked for my low days.

she looks about 62 not 77 :O. agreed with other posters, theres something about her voice thats soft and inspiring.

So much respect here, what a beautiful young woman! I think we can all get some positive vibes from her...wow!!!

Black don't crack. She looks great.

Thanks for the post op. Very inspirational!

Great story. Able to get healthy at her age and not use any medications for her ailments.

She is fantastic. Thanks for the vid. I have my own inspiration around me all the time in my Dutchess who is also really dedicated and doing fantastic. Here are some of the Youtube vids I posted before.

Come on Dutch, tell the truth... she's 39 1/2 in those videos isn't she?
hahaha

I think it's very good to be able to sustain the weight bearing exercises (like) squats especially for women. Helps to combat osteoporosis.
Good luck to both of you!

I wish I could show this to every wheatgrass juicing, vegan, yoga mat worshipper I know who really thinks that meat and weights are the devil, and ask them if they'd like to look like her. No, not when they are 77 years old. Look like her now. Because she has a better body than some folks half her age.

I really enjoyed that video! I even teared up a bit
