Sylvester Stallone has been a constant motivation for movie fans who want to get in shape, and in a recent Instagram video, the actor showed that he continues to lean into longevity with an inspirational message at 79-years-young.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t done a video from the gym in a long time,\u201d shared Stallone, the man who gave us some of the best training montages in the history of cinema. As Rocky Balboa, Sly honed his training and nutrition to the point that he redefined the transformations that actors now make for their roles, hitting a bodyfat level of less than 3% for Rocky III<\/a>. Then there\u2019s John Rambo, a soldier so ripped that his torso is used on political posters. But at 79, the star who is still enjoying huge success with Tulsa King<\/a> doesn\u2019t feel the same need to go sans shirt on camera. That doesn\u2019t mean he shuns the gym, however. In fact, it remains a space that is very special to the actor\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n Sylvester Stallone Continues to Inspire at 79<\/p>\n \u201cYou know it\u2019s kinda like, in a way, a sanctuary, a church\u201d shared the king of movie sequels, while talking about his love of the gym. \u201cWe pray to get better. To feel better physically so you have the strength to arrive at your goals, feeling confident and ready to face any challenge.\u201d In the IG reel, Stallone looks to be in great shape, lean and toned while wearing a black vest and sweats. \u201cAnyway, keep punching, see you soon,\u201d signed off The Cliffhanger star, leaving fans, friends, and fellow stars to show some love.<\/p>\n \u201cSly, since I first watched the original Rocky in the theater. You unknowingly have been a mentor to me. You\u2019ve led by example over and over again. You gave me the confidence to believe in myself,\u201d wrote WWE legend Diamond Dallas Page in a heartfelt comment. \u201cIncredible,\u201d wrote bodybuilder Edgard John-Augustin.<\/p>\n This sentiment was echoed by stars far and wide, including 2026 Mr Olympia, Derek Lunsford<\/a>, and presenter Mario Lopez. Fans were also quick to weigh-in on Sly\u2019s update. \u201cLeading by example, looking great Sly,\u201d wrote one follower. \u201cWe\u2019d be lucky to look like Sly at his age,\u201d wrote another. We think many people would be lucky to look like Sly, at half his age!
