Oh, Ruth. We love Ruth! She's the Texas grande dame version of Jack LaLanne, the Jane Fonda of the senior set. She is bright and sunny and encourages folks in her age group to make movement and activity a crucial part of everyday life from her local television show that has been airing in Austin forever. And the lady's enthusiasm is not just for the senior set. All ages can learn from the more than two decades of fitness earned by this survivor who tackled a bout with cancer in the 1960s and a heart problem in the 1980s. Here in 2006, she is still going strong. While Ruth has moved operations up the road a piece to Salado, the Austin community TV fixture still airs on the Travis County station and has videos for sale for home use.
