At 87, Jane Fonda has not finished surprising us. If she obviously continues to train, the queen of the aerobic now adapts her training. Meeting with an emblematic figure of cinema.
Actress, producer, activist, activist and queen of fitness … Jane Fonda truly has all the strings to her bow. She stands in the room, welcomes us a wide smile on his lips and shakes our hands “Hi, i’m Jane”. Yes, the Jane Fonda has just presented itself as if the whole world did not know it.
The discussion revolves around her vision of beauty, her role as an ambassador for L’Oréal Paris (she will parade for the brand the next day), but also of her fitness videos published in the early 1980s. At the time, they were sold by tens of millions. “Before opening Jane Fonda studios or making the videos of my training, I gave lessons. When I was filming or I was in other countries I gave lessons after work, and women came from afar“She tells us.
At the time, the actress was not necessarily aware of it, but she was transforming the lives of women and helping them to reclaim their bodies. Jane Fonda remembers her meeting with a fan: “She said to me: “This morning by brushing my teeth, I discovered a new muscle on my arm.” This one, I will never forget it because she added: “And when I went to work, I stood up to my boss for the first time.”“”
Through these testimonies, the star then achieves the impact of his videos. “”It did me so good, because I know I felt it all too. I started these videos to finance an organization to combat wages inequalities in California. The motivation came from my activism but I quickly understood that it changed the lives of women.“”
More than 40 years after these famous videos, Jane Fonda continues to train with a specialized coach for those over 50, and still practices her own exercises as she entrusted to us. The only difference? “”I make the movements much more slowly … It’s like sex, you have to take the time.“”
