Jane Seymour has opened up about the fitness and wellness habits she relies on to stay strong, healthy and camera‑ready. Her routine is a mix of ballet discipline, low‑impact training and a strict but balanced approach to food and drink.
Fitness & Food
The 75-year-old former Bond girl explained that she has maintained an enviable figure and keeps good health through a mix of different exercises that help the mind and body, and by enjoying a Mediterranean diet and limiting her alcohol intake.
She told Fox News Digital, “Well, fitness, I try to do a combination of light weights, some walking, fast walking if I can, or up and down a hill. I do Pilates and Gyrotonics, or if I can’t do any of that, I do the usual thing, the sort of sit-ups and some ballet exercises.”
“Actually, I go back to my ballet roots. I do a full barre. I eat a Mediterranean diet, usually. I stay away from starch, but not completely, because I never want to think I’m on a diet. I drink very moderately. When I’m filming, not at all.”
Group Classes
Seymour also admitted that her competitive personality can make group classes a minefield, especially yoga, which she has avoided.
She added, “I’ve had to actually tell myself that when I go into a group class, especially something like yoga, that I have to tell myself I am not going to win, because I’m way too A-type… I want to win… Which means that I can never have done yoga, and I will decide that I could turn myself into the pretzel like that person. No. No, I cannot. I’ll end up in the hospital or something, so… My approach is to try everything, but do it the way that I know I can. So, I listen to my body.”
Speaking About Aging
Emmy and Golden Globe-winning Seymour, who is best known for her starring role in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and for playing Solitaire opposite Sir Roger Moore in the James Bond film Live and Let Die, previously spoke candidly about aging during an appearance at the 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala.
She explained that she’s never had cosmetic procedures because her work relies on authentic facial expression.
Seymour told Page Six, “This is what happens. I’m not trying to be 30 when I’m 75. I mean, maybe 60 would be nice.”
Discussing her approach to acting, she said, “I’ve been playing a lot of older women.
“And the truth is, for me personally, the kind of acting that I do is not about glamour, it’s more about serious emotion, and for real authentic emotion, you need every muscle to work.”
