""This is the beginning of my final act. And I didn't know how to live it. So I thought, well, what am I most afraid of?" Fonda said. "I'm afraid of dying with a lot of regrets. I watched my dad die with a lot of regrets. That was an important realization for me, because if you don't want to die with regrets, then you have to live the last part of your life in such a way that there won't be any regrets.""
""And what is more astonishing is that I'm better now. I wouldn't go back for anything. I feel more centered, more whole, more complete. I'm very happy. Single," Fonda said."
""I essentially do everything I used to do, just slower," Fonda said. "I used to be a runner, but now I love walking. I love being outdoors in the woods, especially up and down hills.""
Jane Fonda, 87, embraces aging and reports feeling better, more centered, whole and complete in later life. Aging itself is not her primary fear; dying with many regrets is. Watching her father die with regrets motivated a shift after turning sixty to live the final part of life intentionally and without regret. Maintaining health and physical strength is central to that goal, with a consistent workout routine adapted for age. Running gave way to walking and outdoor hill walks. She aims to remain strong and flexible for the sake of her grandchildren.
