An individual is almost always told to work out in their younger days, so it gets easier when they grow old. And now, 85-year-old, Jane Fonda is a testament to the saying. Fonda is an actress, model, and now fitness influencer. The Academy Award winner doesn’t let age deter her from enjoying the simple pleasures of life. Amidst an ongoing fitness session, Fonda sat down with Vanity Fair to talk about her journey so far. The star had a lot to talk about fitness in old age, but there was one particular learning moment that she wanted to share with the readers. JANE FONDA TAKES HER WORKOUTS SERIOUSLY At an age where people would prefer to retire peacefully, sit around, and not do a lot, Fonda deceives expectations. The 85-year-old makes sure to stay up-to-date with her workouts and keeps herself active. Her love-hate relationship with workouts began in 1982, with her VHS tape titled Jane Fonda’s Workout. The at-home workout video became an instant hit! Recalling her good old days, Fonda mentioned how her relationship with workouts evolved over the years. While she still followed the VHS tape, she made when she was young, age changed her body. Fonda no longer works out at the same pace that she used to. However, she does follow routines and even has a trainer who specializes in people above the age of 50. This helps her work on her body, keep it up and running, and stay active. Her Toned Body [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bus-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-feeling-after-a-great-workout-65-year-old-ripped-grandma-shows-off-her-toned-body/] However, Fonda confessed that she never loved working out [https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2023/02/jane-fonda-handm-move-the-workout-jaquel-knight] in her younger years. She revealed, “I hated doing it. I never liked working out, but I feel so good afterwards that I just do it”. And now, she’s grateful for the work her younger self did. She fondly remembered her 3.5-year-old grandson and how her workouts have helped her stay strong enough to pick him up whenever she wished to. Fonda firmly believed that working out and taking care of oneself were extremely important. During old age, one needs to be efficient enough to perform basic movements. This would only be possible if the body remains well-maintained right from the beginning.

Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger:?</strong></li>
</ul>
The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business. He then transitioned himself to various acting roles, became an investor, and was elected as the Governor of California. Some of his movies like Terminator 2, Commando, Twins, and Conan the Barbarian are some of his classics.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Ronnie Coleman:</strong></li>
</ul>
Dubbed to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Ronnie Coleman put his life and soul into the sport. He is an eight-time Mr. Olympia winner and became the most dominant bodybuilder in the business. Netflix released a documentary featuring his life in the bodybuilding industry. His size and conditioning stood apart from everyone else. A true champion who wore his heart on his sleeve.

<ul>
 	<li><strong>Lee Haney:</strong></li>

Like Coleman, Lee Haney became an eight-time Mr. Olympia champion. He dedicated his body to the sport and was one of the most exciting bodybuilders on stage. Haney had a humongous waist size of 32.5 inches. Therefore, Haney deserves a special mention for his performances.
