When it comes to\u00a0Dick Van Dyke<\/strong><\/a>‘s gym routine at age 98, he’s proving he can still step in time.<\/p>\n “I’ve always exercised,” the\u00a0Mary Poppins<\/em> star<\/a> told E! News in an exclusive interview\u00a0at the 2024\u00a0Daytime Emmy Awards<\/a> on June 7. Though, he\u00a0joked\u00a0his friends didn’t follow his lead when it came to working out. “And I think that’s why I have no friends left. They’re all dead.”<\/p>\n And Van Dyke expressed it’s especially crucial to keep that momentum going when aging. As people get older,\u00a0he\u00a0explained, “they get a little stiff and sore, and it begins to hurt to move. So they just stop moving all together, and you start to age fast.<\/p>\n “I’ve always exercised three days a week,” Van Dyke continued. “I work out with weights and the treadmill also and try to keep that up. You can’t stay young forever. You can stay young-minded forever. That’s why I never grew up.”\u00a0<\/p>\n One thing he may need to grow, however, is his trophy shelf.\u00a0On June 7,\u00a0Van Dyke made history as the oldest\u00a0Daytime Emmy winner, with him taking home the statue in the Guest Performance in a Daytime Drama Series category for his work in\u00a0Days of our Lives<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
