'This Is 70': Oprah Proves She Is in the Best Shape of Her Life as She Runs on the Beach with Dog

Oprah Winfrey just turned 70 years old. The entertainment industry mogul proved she is in the best shape of her life while running on the beach with her dog.
Iconic entrepreneur and revered TV host Oprah Winfrey celebrated her 70th birthday yesterday. She took to Instagram to post a video in which she showed off her physical prowess.
Footage showed Winfrey, her pup, and another woman jogging on the seashore. In her caption, the purple athleisure-wearing 70-year-old had a hashtag that prized health as the best gift and thanked people who sent her birthday wishes.
Along with the video, there was overlayed text, which read, "This Is 70!" Winfrey wrote an article reflecting on turning 70 a day before her birthday, which was published on Oprah Daily.
While speaking about entering a new decade, Winfrey disclosed, "As I turn 70, I know how blessed I am to be here. Honestly, getting older when you have the means to take care of yourself is a gift to be treasured [...] to reach this major milestone feels like grace in action."
As for why Winfrey opted for a more laid-back celebration instead of going all out, she referenced advice she got from a friend. Although the star received many lavish suggestions for how to celebrate, Winfrey explained, "I [...] finally did what one friend, Wintley, recommended. He said, 'You're too blessed to stress. Savor the fragrances of your extraordinary life.'"
In another part of her article, she said she tries to start each new day with joy, acknowledging that she is blessed to remain alive and ready to embark on new endeavors. Winfrey also mentioned, "At my age, you recognize the poignancy of time passing."
When it comes to getting older, Winfrey sees aging as a gift more than a hindrance. Last year, the media icon expressed, "And you know, people say that you're never as young as you are right now at this moment. And while that may be true, I'm okay with that because aging brings great gifts—like being able to do more things that you want to do rather than what you have to do."
Oprah Winfrey also highlighted that with age comes the wisdom of knowing how to choose wisely and what's best for oneself. She also discussed the importance of keeping fit and revealed what her athletic goals were, which included hiking her favorite trails and walking with her dogs.
