Stephanie then shared some clips of her doing the exercises that help to keep her in shape, such as 90 degree leg presses and cable abductors.
The fitness fanatic explained that she works out her legs “hard” three times a week.
Stephanie said that she started weight training when she was 31, but when she was 62, began to lift heavier and more consistently, to “reverse the effects of age-related muscle and strength loss.”
“I’m much stronger now”, she said.
