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

A new Instagram photo underscores his steady three-days-a-week regimen ahead of his 100th birthday.

Overview

  • Rick Springfield shared a Sept. 26 post saying he ran into Van Dyke at the gym while filming an episode of Men’s Health and found him “working out on every machine.”
  • The image shows both men playfully flexing, with Van Dyke seated at a biceps curl station and holding his cane.
  • Springfield wrote that Van Dyke even did “a little dance step” after the chest press, calling the 99-year-old’s energy “amazing.”
  • Van Dyke has said he exercises three days a week with stretching, yoga and sit-ups, a routine he described on a January podcast with Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen.
  • Recent public moments include a Sept. 21 Vandy Camp birthday celebration for his wife in Malibu, following a June illness that led him to skip an event, as he readies a November book, “100 Rules for Living to 100: An Optimist’s Guide to a Happy Life.”
