The world's oldest female bodybuilder wakes up every day at 02:30 to fit in a 10 mile (16km) run before hitting the gym.
But 75-year-old Ernestine Shepherd insists that "age is nothing but a number".
"Miss Ernie", as she is known in the world of competitive bodybuilding, began training at the tender age of 71.
She says her true calling in life, however, is helping others to follow a more healthy lifestyle.
The BBC caught up with her at an exercise class at her church in the US city of Baltimore, Maryland, to find out why she started bodybuilding and what competitors say when they see they are up against a grandmother.

Totally agree with you.. I was Ms. Skinny here
and was lost so much confidence that i cant
wear clothes as much as i wanted too because
im too skinny. Good thing I found this site
MusclesMaximizer.info
and was able to cope up with it in just a short
weeks period. I was able to managed my diet
eating habits properly.

This is not the first time I have seen this body builder, I saw her in an article several months ago. It is a good thing to be highly motivated. People the program but never continue it. Something has to be there to keep pushing you to get up and go for it, it's that power serge that won't let you stop. Great job Ernestine. from GWandaEE
