"At 73, the lifelong dancer, former competitive bodybuilder, and fitness industry pro likes to keep busy. The day of our interview, she'd had a busy morning, teaching group exercise classes and training clients at the Bay Club, then working in her garden. After our interview, she said she was going to go for a walk, to enjoy theunseasonably warm weather in San Anselmo, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco."
"When she's not at the gym with clients or working out herself, she's at the local humane society, where she teaches a range of classes, including basic obedience and canine exercise. She helpsold dogs age gracefully and workswith four-legged athletes in agility or diving. Writing about longevity, I speak to a lot of senior athletes. And yet, I'm struck by Mimms' remarkably youthful energy; she appears decades younger."
Nancy Mimms, 73, is a lifelong dancer, former competitive bodybuilder, and fitness industry professional who stays active teaching classes, training clients, and gardening. She often spends eight to ten hours on her feet and avoids prolonged sitting, which is linked to higher mortality risk. She volunteers at a local humane society teaching obedience and canine exercise and works with athletic dogs in agility and diving. She began dancing at 12, trained in ballet and modern dance, and later returned to teach dance and fitness after a restaurant career. She keeps in shape to inspire others and offers longevity tips emphasizing movement and dance.
