Jane Fonda, 85, Says She STILL Makes Her Iconic Workout Videos

Jane Fonda has been a women’s icon for decades, but she said she only “went fully into a feminist” a little over two decades ago.

The 80’s star for Brady, 85, who recently revealed he was in remission after undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, opened up about some of his favorite topics in an interview with elle magazine.

The two-time Oscar winner, who has been outspoken about her battle with the eating disorder bulimia, said she still does the famous Jane Fonda workout, but the goal is to be healthy, not skinny.

‘Wanting to be skinny as a bone is not good. It is not good for your health, and it is not good for your mind to be so deprived. Someone in bed with you might not like it either, because you can hurt your hip bones!

The Book Club star, who is slim by nature, said the exercise is “still relevant today” but performs the movement more slowly and uses modifications to stay in shape.

‘You want to be able to take your grandchildren. And I can still do that.

Healthy; she still does the famous Jane Fonda Workout, but the goal is to be healthy, not skinny. ‘Wanting to be skinny as a bone is not good. It is not good for your health. Someone in bed with you might not like it either, because you can hurt your hip bones!

Growing up, the 9-5 star winner revealed that she felt she had to ‘side’ with her father, the legendary actor Henry Fonda.

“I grew up thinking that you have to go with the man, identify with the man, please the man… You have to be around the men.”

‘When I got married for the first time, to a French director [Robert Vadim]I served him hand and foot. One of his friends said about me once: “God, he’s so cool, he’s like a boy” and I thought: “My God, what a compliment!” That was my mentality then.

Traditional role: Jane says on her first marriage to French director Roger Vadim: ‘I served him hand and foot. One of her friends said about me once: “God, he’s so cool, he’s like a boy” and I thought: “My God, what a compliment!” That was my mentality then’

The Barbarella star said that when she left Vadim and returned to the US from France, she thought the women’s movement was a waste of time and that she should focus on ending the war in Vietnam.

“Being around these women made me look through a keyhole at the world we were trying to create: a world of justice, equality and peace, without racism,” she explained. They were kind, they were present. They were very different from the women he had known before, and I began to want to be like them.

It wasn’t until she saw The Vagina Monologues in 2000. “So in terms of really understanding feminism and learning to love women, and loving the fact that I’m a woman only happened to me 23 years ago.”

Activism: Jane was a vocal activist against the Vietnam War, and it was then that she learned about feminism, working with other women in the movement. “They were very different from the women she had known before, and I began to want to be like them.” (Pictured April 1970)

Still active: The Grace and Frankie star recently signed on as an ambassador for H&M’s Move campaign, explaining on Instagram: “Together we’re on a mission to fight for equal access to sports.”

The Grace and Frankie star, who has reinvigorated her Friday Fire Drill protests to call attention to climate change and fight for policy changes in the US, recently signed on as an ambassador for H&M’s Move campaign.

On Instagram, she explained in a video that part of the goal of working with the global clothing company is equality. ‘Together we are on a mission to fight for equal access to sports.’

The collaboration may seem confusing to fans of Jane, especially since she’s talked about not buying clothes for the past three years. ‘Dumping is one of the main ways we are destroying the world and oceans. H&M accepts returns at its stores through its Garment Collecting program to recycle them for you.’

Protest: Jane has continued to participate in the Fire Drill Friday protests to draw attention to global warming and climate change.
