This beautiful woman is a true inspiration!  At the age of 74, Ernestine Shepherd is the oldest female competitive bodybuilder to date. 


Her story is remarkable and one of the most motivating I have read.  I had to share this beautiful woman's story.  She did not even begin working out until the age of 56!  I love her attitude, her philosophy on life, her sheer determination and spirit! 


Ernestine holds the same belief as I do on exercise and nutrition: 


"Exercising can improve our heart & respiratory function, lower our blood pressure, increase our strength, improve bone density, improve flexibility, quicken our reaction time, reduce body fat, increase muscle mass, and reduce our susceptibility to depression & disease. You are worth it!"
