'I'm proof that age is nothing but a number': 76-year-old bodybuilder


Inspiration: Ernestine Shepherd, 77, from Maryland, U.S. is one of the world's oldest bodybuilders

She rises at 2.30am every morning to prepare her morning egg whites.
Just over an hour later, she puts on her head lamp and heads out for her ten-mile run, accompanied by her husband. By 8am she is in the gym, and works out for just under two hours.

This sounds like the mad morning routine concocted by a 22-year-old fitness fanatic, but it is everyday life for Ernestine Shepherd, 77 – one of the world’s oldest female bodybuilders.
The man who runs by her side is her husband of more than 55 years, Collin, 83.
She follows a rigorous daily routine, which involves drinking several bottles of egg white per day as part of her 1,700 calories a day diet of eggs, chicken, vegetables and pulses.
