Elaine LaLanne's daily routine is a testament to the power of belief, exercise, and maintaining a positive mindset. At the age of 97, she begins her day with a series of morning exercises even before leaving her bed. These exercises include two-dozen jackknifes and incline push-ups at the bathroom sink. She emphasizes that "twenty minutes a day gets me on my way."
However, the real source of her strength, she claims, resides above her shoulders. Every morning, she reminds herself to believe in her abilities, which has not only helped her stay physically active through injuries and emotional challenges but has also allowed her to live a life that defies her age.
