MAE WEST...

Mae West, who once lugged her exercise bike into an interview, had a lifelong love of fitness and went for daily bike rides into her 80s.

As for food, West was an early believer in coconut oil—but not to eat. She swore that spreading it on her face was the secret to youthful skin. And while she wasn't a huge fan of weight lifting herself (that we know of), she certainly encouraged the sport by casting dozens of hunky bodybuilders in her Vegas shows.
