Van Dyke added, “I feel like I’m about 13.”

“She’s responsible for keeping me in the moment,” he explained at the time. “She kept me happy every day of my life, every day. She’s a joy. She can get me singing or dancing and she carries so much responsibility … I’m just lucky.”

As for the secret to living a long life? Van Dyke wasn’t so sure he could pinpoint it
“People say ‘What did you do right?’ I don’t know. I’m rather lazy, ” the Mary Poppins star admitted to People. “I’ve always thought that anger is one thing that eats up a person’s insides — and hate. And I never really was able to work up a feeling of hate. I think that is one of the chief things that kept me going.”

I’ve been live streaming on the app as well as on my Instagram since the beginning of quarantine in an effort to make fitness fun and innovative. I especially love walking my viewers through total body cardio parties, which is when I crank up the music, let them find their rhythm and let the booty burn. Cardio kicks up your heart rate, so if you’re not sweating, you’re not working out hard enough!”InstagramWhitney Port”I have been doing a lot of Sculpt, Cardio Boxing and Yoga Classes on the obé Fitness App and virtual classes with Pilates By Amanda. If I don’t have a lot of time, I will do Lauren Gores’ express workouts on her Instagram.”InstagramMaggie Q”During lockdown it’s yoga under my own direction. I can go onto so many different tangents and by the time I am done it is often two hours.”InstagramMerle Dandridge”My trainer, Amoila Cesar, gets lots of results out of me by appealing to my ‘no quit,’ competitive side.

I also love a rigorous barre class and need daily yoga.”InstagramRachel Naomi Hilson”I’ve been doing a lot of dancing in my apartment. I’ll turn on some music and just go. Sometimes it’s more structured, sometimes it’s interpretive, sometimes I twerk. Also hiking!”InstagramPaige DeSorbo”My go-to work out is P.Volve, I’ve gone to their classes for years and now I stream them at home. I try and workout at least 3 to 4 times a week even if its for 30 minutes. Its all about strengthening and elongating your muscles. It’s my favorite!”
