Dick Van Dyke has spent decades making audiences smile, and even at the age of 100, the beloved entertainer is still finding ways to surprise his fans. This time, it was not a perfectly timed dance step or a classic comedy moment. It was a workout video showing him upside down on an inversion table.

According to People, the clip offered another glimpse into the habits that have helped Van Dyke remain remarkably active into his centenarian years. For anyone curious about Dick Van Dyke’s age and longevity, the actor has never pointed to one complicated secret. Instead, he has repeatedly emphasized movement, exercise, stretching, and maintaining a positive outlook.

A post shared by Dick Van Dyke (@official_dick_van_dyke)

 

Van Dyke recently shared an Instagram video of himself using an inversion table, a piece of fitness equipment that uses gravity to stretch the body. He captioned the post with “#DVD100,” referred to the activity as part of his workout, and added the simple message “#keepmoving.” That philosophy has guided him for years. In 2025, Van Dyke said he and wife Arlene Silver still exercised three days a week, crediting the routine with helping him stay mobile. His workouts also included stretching, sit-ups, and yoga.

Danson even recalled seeing Van Dyke’s energetic approach firsthand when the two used the same Malibu gym. According to Danson, Van Dyke would sometimes dance from one exercise machine to another rather than simply walking. For a performer whose career became closely associated with physical comedy and dancing, the image feels perfectly fitting.

A Positive Spirit Has Followed Him Through the Decades

Ahead of his 100th birthday, Van Dyke told PEOPLE he still felt remarkably good and joked that he felt 13. He credited not only staying active but also maintaining a positive outlook, avoiding anger, and appreciating life. For him, longevity comes down to movement, perspective, and gratitude.

That makes the latest workout video especially fitting for longtime fans. Generations first knew him through “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and later watched his memorable performance in “Mary Poppins.” His ability to move, dance, and bring physical energy to a performance became part of his charm. Now, decades later, that same commitment to movement remains visible. The Dick Van Dyke age milestone may be extraordinary, but his message is refreshingly simple: keep moving while you can, enjoy the life you have, and do not lose your sense of humor along the way.
