Ernestine Shepherd
At 79 years old, Ernestine Shepherd made it into the Guinness World Book of Records as the oldest competing female bodybuilder. It’s worth noting that she wasn’t always interested in bodybuilding.
Shepherd admits that she only began worrying about her physical health at the age of 56, a fact she uses to promote the idea that it’s never too late to start. Now, at 86, Ernestine is still bodybuilding but she no longer participates in competitions.
