At 99, Dick Van Dyke Flexes in New Gym Photo With Rick Springfield

He credits a thrice-weekly workout routine for his vitality ahead of his 100th birthday.

Overview

  • Rick Springfield shared a Sept. 26 Instagram photo saying he found Van Dyke "working out on every machine" and even doing a quick dance step.
  • The image shows the pair flexing in a Malibu gym, with Van Dyke smiling at a biceps curl station and holding his cane.
  • Van Dyke has long said he exercises three days a week, including stretching, yoga-style moves and machine circuits, a routine he discussed on Ted Danson’s podcast.
  • The post reassured fans following a June event cancellation for illness, when his wife noted that at 99 he has good days and bad days.
  • Reports add that he turns 100 on Dec. 13 and has a book, "100 Rules for Living to 100: An Optimist's Guide to a Happy Life," scheduled for release in November.
