The actress and fitness guru does not hide that her appearance is the merit not only of sports, but also of plastic surgeons. But Fonda assures: it is activity and fortitude that can make a person truly beautiful, writes the author of the SportChic blog on Yandex Zen.
Who is Jane Fonda, even those who have never seen her on the big screen or on TV in the cult films "Barbarella", "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?", "From 9 to 5", "Klute" Coming home "(for the last two she received an Oscar).
Many people know Jane from her legendary aerobics videotapes: in the 1980s, after 40 years, she turned from an Oscar-winning actress to the leader of the fitness revolution.

And for the younger generation, she is an important figure in the environmental movement, supports the fight against climate change, and speaks out against racial injustice. Her voice is heard and respected.
Fonda herself says that she made many mistakes in life, and confidence and wisdom came to her only with life experience.
“It's hard to be young. It gets much easier with age. So don't give up, hold on and strengthen your health by all available means! " - advises the actress.
Secrets of youth
Even now, at 82, she looks gorgeous: her skin seems to glow, ballet posture, a toned figure and fire in her eyes.
The Foundation does not hide that she did plastic surgery.
“I'm glad that I look good for my age, but a few years ago I went under the surgeon's knife,” the actress admitted in a documentary about her life. - On the one hand, I hate the fact that I had to physically change myself to feel that everything is fine with me. But there will be no more plastic surgery - I worked every day to accept myself anew. It was not easy for me. "
“To be honest, my most important healthy habit is sleeping,” says the actress. - In order to maintain balance, not to waste myself, I must, firstly, meditate daily, and secondly, sleep. I sleep nine hours every day, and I have been doing meditation for 15 years now. "
The benefits of aerobics
As for physical activity, in childhood and adolescence, the actress was engaged in ballet, and for the last 40 years she has been practicing fitness at least three times a week for 30-60 minutes.
"My workout routine has three parts: cardio, strength, and a 10-minute stretch."
The power section is performed with kilogram dumbbells or weights on the legs. This is the "bridge", "scissors", bends, push-ups, lunges-curtsies and the iconic exercise on the inner thigh, which is even named after her "Jane Fonda": you lie on your side and lift your leg up.

Cardio is a complete improvisation: all kinds of jumps, turns, lunges, swings, steps with the addition of dance steps.
“If your goal is to lose weight, then you can't do without aerobics,” says Jane. - So put on cool rhythmic music and move. It's also the best remedy for blues! "
In word and deed
By the way, about the blues.
“To be honest, I am often tempted to turn into a slug, and an active life position helps not to get depressed,” the actress admits.
She supports the fight against climate change and believes that even the smallest deeds can achieve great success.
“There are little things that you can do every day, and which, by the way, will help not only the planet, but also your health and well-being. Turn off the lights if you leave the room. Pour less water in the shower. Use your car less, try to walk and cycle more, ”recommends Fonda.
And communicate, communicate, begs Fonda!
“When I was growing up, in the 1940s – 1950s, people necessarily joined various groups, be they book clubs, gardening societies, theater studios, and so on. Now there is no such thing, because those in power have given everyone an iPhone and want us to bury ourselves in them one by one, to become individualists, and therefore helpless. As the saying goes: one by one, each twig is fragile, and if you put them together, you won't break. "
