And I'll walk really fast to break a sweat. One thing is for sure — I don't run. It's too hard. But the fast walking does give me a lot of energy to face the day."

Helen Mirren is 73 but still looks as flawless as she did in the 1960s. What's her secret? The Royal Canadian Air Force 12-minute exercise plan.

Tina Turner is 78 and can still perform her legendary dances moves thanks to not eating after 6 p.m., drinking lots of water and, of course, dancing.

"I don't abuse myself with sweets, sugars, cakes and fat. I eat healthily. The pleasure of life is dinner."

Jane Fonda is not only one of the fittest stars over 70 — she's also one of the fittest stars over 80! The actress will celebrate her 81st birthday on Dec. 21, 2018, but she looks as young as ever. She's a fitness guru who still follows the exercise plan entitled "Jane Fonda's Workout Book" that she developed in the 1980s.

Harrison Ford is the action star who keeps on giving, thanks to his lifestyle. The 76-year-old actor told "Entertainment Tonight" that he does "a lot" of boxing, which keeps him in great shape for his roles in "Blade Runner," the "Star Wars" reboot and the upcoming "Indiana Jones" sequel.

Cher has been in the industry since the 1960s and somehow hasn't aged a day.

Dolly Parton maintains her fit figure with weight training, avoiding junk foods and eating a low-carb diet.

"I'm a short little thing with a big country-girl appetite so I have to really watch it."

Rod Stewart, 73, makes sure to work out regularly so he always has stamina for the stage. The iconic rocker breaks a sweat by playing soccer and using workout equipment including rowing machines, treadmills and exercise bikes.

Forever young Goldie Hawn might be 72, but her workout routine is as intense as ever. The actress starts her day with green juice and exercise. She also follows a wheat-free, sugar-free and dairy-free diet. "I do a lot of juicing, I don't put a lot of food in my stomach and I don't mix my foods too much," Goldie told People magazine. "So if I want to have like protein I'll just eat a bowl of lentils, I won't mix it with a bunch of stuff." She added, "I have short meditation spurts during the day, if I don't have a long one in the morning, which sometimes the phone rings and you're off and running, but I do find time to get quiet. I hike. I bike. I try to have as much fun as possible."

Not to be outdone by his Beatles bandmate, Paul McCartney also maintains a fit lifestyle. The 76-year-old legend practices yoga, runs and works out daily. "I feel pretty fit," he told the Mirror. "I'm not the sort of person who particularly needs a trainer. I'll just watch what the trainers do and then copy them. I do a bit of the cross-trainer, a bit of running, a bit of cardio and then I do some weights, some abs on the Swiss ball, before ending up on the mat doing a few stretches. And then standing on my head." He added, "That's my big claim to fame! I actually learned it in the '60s, it was a yoga thing, and my argument is I need flexibility not strength."

The iconic singer lost 60 pounds while performing on "Dancing With The Stars" in 2012 and maintains her figure with regular workouts, healthy eating and Freshology's Getslim with the Stars program.
