Parents inspire Lena Dunham to get fit
Lena Dunham's elderly parents have inspired the actress/writer to get fit because she started to look like "a bag of trash" next to them.
The Girls creator and star insists she is in the best shape of her life thanks to celebrity fitness trainer Tracy Anderson, as well as regular sessions of Pilates and AquaYoga.
She admits her parents, who are in their sixties, gave her the
incentive to shape up when they started getting fit.
Dunham explains, "Both my parents, who are 65... are both really
exercise fiends and it started in the last five years... My dad can
lift these really heavy weights and do kettle bells and they can
both jump rope and they look really hot, and I was just starting to
feel, like, I was really dragging behind... I was like, 'You're
more than twice my age and I look like a bag of trash next to
you'."
Dunham also reveals her dad has really noticed her new healthy
glow, adding, "My dad did say to me that my inner light was finally
turned on."
