As Dick Van Dyke approaches his 100th birthday in December, his fans marvel at his vitality and health. The iconic actor and comedian, best known for Mary Poppins, shows that aging gracefully is possible. Earlier this year, Van Dyke spoke about his secret to staying fit and healthy. Though he is seldom seen publicly now, a new photo of him recently appeared online, reminding everyone just how well he is doing.
Van Dyke has enjoyed a lifetime of success as a multi-talented entertainer. When asked about his age and condition, he said that exercising three times a week has always helped him. Even at 99, he continues this routine without fail.
In a telling interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he said he goes to the gym where he exercises on various machines, moving between them with dance-like steps, which feels like a circuit workout. He also swims laps afterward and rests with naps to keep his energy balanced.
