Van Dyke isn\u2019t seen much in public, but just days ago, a new picture of him arose on social media. It\u2019s safe to say that the legendary comedian and actor looks amazing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dick Van Dyke is turning an incredible 100 years old in December. The television host, comedian, actor, and writer has lived a long and prosperous life, so why is he still doing so well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking to\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter\u00a0in January, Van Dyke revealed that it has to do with his workout routine. For as long as he can remember, he has worked out three times a week. Still, at age 99, he is doing the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSomebody said, \u2018To what do you attribute your age and physical condition?\u2019\u201d Van Dyke said. \u201cI said, \u2018I\u2019ve always exercised three days a week.\u2019 We go to the gym, still, three days a week, and I think that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf I got [to the gym] early enough, I would see you literally work out on some weight machine, and then \u2014 almost like you were doing circuit training \u2014 you would, not walk, to the next machine, but&nbsp;<em>dance<\/em>,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou literally dance to the next machine! And you said that you would go the the gym and work out and then you would go home and swim laps. Then you would get back into bed and take a nap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dick Van Dyke has achieved incredible things in life. As he turns triple digits, he is also releasing a book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New picture of Dick Van Dyke emerges, months before his 100th birthday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>100 Rules for Living to 100: An Optimist\u2019s Guide to a Happy Life<\/em>&nbsp;is, per the book\u2019s publisher, an autobiographical collection of life advice, stories, and reflections\u201d from Dick Van Dyke\u2019s lengthy career in Hollywood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Dick Van Dyke has decided to stay out of the spotlight. He is still living in the Los Angeles area, and recently, a new picture of him appeared on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Instagram, artist Rick Springfield posted a picture of himself and Van Dyke at a gym in Malibu, California.
