I Dream of Jeannie’s Barbara Eden, 93, Reveals Her Workout and Diet Routine

Age is no reason to slow down for I Dream of Jeannie star Barbara Eden, who at 93 says she maintains her trim figure with an active lifestyle.

Speaking to Fox News in an interview posted Saturday, September 14, Eden explained that she’s relied on exercise to look and feel youthful, adjusting her routine as necessary over the years.

“I used to do spinning classes and then do weights with a trainer,” she told the outlet. “When COVID hit, that ended my heavy workouts. Now I have a stationary bicycle and I lift five pounds. I use very lightweight weights, but they’re good for your bones.”

Although she says she misses the spinning classes for their camaraderie and motivation (“I’m not much of a self-starter,” she admits), Eden encourages trying different activities to see what works and feels best.

“I remember when aerobics was all the rage,” she said. “It was good for you. I tried it, but no, it wasn’t for me. But walking? Now that’s another thing. If you can walk briskly, which suits me just fine, that’s good for you. It’s good for your knees and ankles. I find it better than running.”
