"I guess I'm excited because turning 80 is great. A number I never thought I'd see, but here it is. I always wanted to be an old guy who's still feeling pretty good,"
"You just have to quiet your mind enough to listen,"
"Weight becomes a big issue the older you get, especially if you're from my community, the African American community. Every disease known to man seems to hit us harder, so it's really important to get the exam, to stay flexible, to stay as mobile as you can."
"The older you get, you want to be at least flexible, so you're not stumbling and falling down, which is the number one hazard. Falling and breaking something,"
Ernie Hudson maintains a regular exercise routine focused on mobility and upper-body strength to support longevity at age 80. He emphasizes listening to his body and quieting the mind to understand physical needs. His primary goal is to stay alive and avoid weight-related diseases that disproportionately affect the African American community, so he prioritizes exams, flexibility, and mobility to prevent falls. At home in Los Angeles he trains with a personal trainer two to three times weekly and often works out with his son while traveling or in New York. His workouts include pushups and other upper-body strength exercises.
