At 100, Ruth Lemay goes to the gym more often than many people a fraction of her age. She’s there three times a week, riding a stationary bike for an hour, then walking more than a mile on the track.
The centenarian lives in her own house, she enjoys cooking, drove a car until she was 98 and once worked as a model.
“I've always exercised,” Lemay, who lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia, tells TODAY.com. “I feel fine. I might be a little bit tired after riding the bicycle and the walk, but that's OK. I don't expect not to feel tired.”
Born in June 1925, she credits physical activity and a good diet for her health and longevity.
The great-grandmother has become a star on social media after a video of her working out was featured by evrydayclub, an Instagram page that focuses on health content.
The clip, in which the centenarian explains her exercise routine, has almost 600,000 likes.
