The 83-year-old author and entrepreneur, despite her past legal challenges, seems to be in excellent health and fitness.

Last year, Women's Health interviewed Stewart about her fitness regimen, which helps her maintain discipline and adhere to her schedule.

Pilates, yoga and more

Stewart is reportedly committed to attending Pilates three mornings per week.

At 6:15 a.m., Stewart heads to her Pilates class, which is the only class happening at the studio at that time, as stated by Women's Health.

"Nobody else gets up that early," she told the publication.

According to a past blog post, Stewart stated that she is a fan of yoga to maintain her "muscles long, limber and flexible."

Stewart stays active on her property in Bedford, New York, by performing tasks such as walking around the farm, tending to the garden, and caring for the animals, which she considers to be a form of exercise.

According to various blog posts, she also enjoys caring for her horses and horseback riding for exercise.

Stewart has a home gym, which is equipped with weight machines, free weights, and a treadmill, where she has previously worked with a personal trainer.

‘Keeping things practical’

"At 83, she embodies the ideal of staying active without overexerting oneself," he stated in an interview with Planet Chronicle Digital. "She maintains her muscle mass and flexibility through a combination of Pilates, yoga, and weight training."

Ezekh stated that Stewart is also a fan of walking, an exercise that is both simple and highly effective for improving cardiovascular health and mental clarity.

"She prefers functional fitness workouts that aid in her daily life's strength, mobility, and independence."

Ezekh observed that for other women in their 80s, fitness is crucial to staying strong and mobile, but it's important not to overexert oneself.

He suggests practicing chair yoga, which is "easy on the joints but excellent for flexibility and balance."

He stated that it can be done while seated, which aids in maintaining flexibility and agility.

Heel-to-toe walks are another simple balance exercise for octogenarians, according to Ezekh.

""Walking in a straight line with your heel directly in front of your toe can help prevent falls," he advised."
