The Dynasty star turns 92 on 23 May
By Katie Daly, 23rd May 2025 Joan Collins' 'committed' fitness routine to keep her doing the splits at 92 | HELLO!
Dame Joan Collins marks a milestone on Friday as she celebrates her 93rd birthday. A star of the silver screen since her breakout as the evil Princess Nellifer in 1955's Land of the Pharaohs, the stage and film actress has cemented herself as one of the greats.
A regular at glamorous evening events in London, Joan has maintained an active lifestyle that keeps her feeling and looking fit and well ahead of her birthday. Now, personal trainer and founder of Ladies Who Crunch, Nancy Best, gives us the lowdown on the star's fitness regimen that keeps her partying (and able to do the splits) all night long.
How does Dame Joan maintain this flexibility in her 90s?
Joan has disclosed on numerous occasions that she is still able to do the splits. "I do the splits very easily," she highlighted during an interview on BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour. However, achieving this daring move at 92 is no mean feat.
"Being able to do advanced movements like the splits doesn’t happen without consistent commitment to flexibility, stability and strength," Nancy tells us. "Her blended training approach, combining low-impact cardio like swimming with resistance training sessions with her personal trainer, plays a role in maintaining sufficient mobility and muscle mass for these kinds of exercises."
