Sigourney Weaver

Sigourney Weaver

She's used to playing the tough, muscly heroine in her movies, so it's no wonder the 61-year-old Sigourney Weaver keeps fit. The actress has said that exercise keeps her looking and feeling young (she's been a devoted Pilates practicer in the past) as well as healthy â€" as a spokesperson for the American Heart Association she helped spread the word of the importance of a healthy diet and exercise routine in the organization's Go Red campaign.

Jane Seymour

Back in 2007 when Jane Seymour was in her mere 50s she competed on Dancing With the Stars and left with a completely transformed body â€" she dropped pounds and built muscle during her stint on the show. Now that the actress is 60, it looks like she's continuing her healthy lifestyle, which she said includes fast walking, Pilates, and isometrics.

Jane Fonda

At 73, Jane Fonda is as fit as she was during her exercise heyday. The queen of the aerobic 80s, who recently relaunched her fitness brand, follows a strict diet and exercise regimen that includes no trans fats, partially hydrogenated oils, or dessert, lots of fish and steamed vegetables, strength training, and hour-long cardio sessions five times a week.

Raquel Welch

Raquel Welch is still celebrated for her looks and figure, so what's her secret? The 70-year-old is a devoted fan of yoga, which she has been practicing for over 30 years. In addition to daily yoga, the actress makes sure to mix in cardio and weight-lifting into her routine, and shuns saucy or fried foods in favor of simple, fresh ingredients.

Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren seems to rake in more compliments the older she gets â€" remember that amazing pic of her in a bikini â€" so it's no wonder that people are curious about what she does to stay fit. While she says she doesn't exercise, the 65-year-old actress notes that enjoying everything in moderation (as well as the occasional diet) has been key to keeping her healthy. "I've never done anything to excess," she said. "I've never drunk or eaten too much. It helps to stay balanced."
