Dick Van Dyke’s fitness routine has Rick Springfield in awe.

In a Sept. 26 Instagram post, the “Jessie’s Girl” singer posed with the “Mary Poppins” star, who turns 100 Dec. 13, in the gym as the two showed off their muscles.

“Filming an episode of Men’s Health, and I went to the gym and who should be there but 99-year-old Dick Van Dyke working out on every machine,” Springfield captioned the photo. “I thought I was doing well at 76, but Dick got up from the chest press machine and did a little dance step before I left! ❤️ Amazing!”

Van Dyke, whose book “100 Rules for Living to 100: An Optimist’s Guide to a Happy Life” is scheduled for release in November, has maintained an impressive gym regimen for years.

“I’ve always exercised three days a week. We go to the gym, still, three days a week,” Van Dyke told Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen on the Jan. 22 episode of the “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” podcast.

“I get down and do a lot of stretching and yoga-type things, sit-ups. And they have machines … something for almost every exercise.”

Dick Van Dyke ‘couldn’t be happier’ as he nears 100 years old

On Sept. 21, three months after dropping out of a Vandy Camp event due to illness, Van Dyke celebrated his wife Arlene Van Dyke’s birthday with a “whimsical” Vandy Camp birthday bash in Malibu.

He and the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to Arlene more than once, with the couple sharing a sweet smooch at the end of one of the serenades.

“We’ve been married 13 years. In two-and-a-half months, I’m going to be 100 years old. I hope!” he told the crowd, per a video shared by photographer Trevor Perez. “And I’ve never seen a more beautiful woman in my life than this one.”

After explaining their fated first meeting at the 2006 Screen Actors Guild Awards, Van Dyke said, “Now we’ve been married 13 years, and I couldn’t be happier.”

Another video from the event shows Van Dyke holding a cane in his left hand as he wiggles his hips and twists his leg.

Van Dyke often takes opportunities to display his spryness by dancing in public, including in Coldplay’s “All My Love” music video in 2024. In the seven-minute director’s cut, he imparted his musings on a long career in Hollywood as well as the meaning of love.

“I think I’m one of those lucky people who got to do for a living what I would have done anyway,” he said. “I got to do what I do. Play and act silly.”
