Once you reach middle age, it gets awfully tempting to let yourself go a little bit. At that point, it's just about self-maintenance. Don't look sloppy and try to ensure minimal hospital visits. The six pack is elusive the older you get and the metabolism doesn't help when you eat like crap. That catharsis isn't there when you're on a strict diet. However, Fuller House star Candace Cameron Bure remains determined to stay in great shape. As a matter of fact, she wants something more than just a great fitness regimen. She wants to be in the best shape of her life.

Recently, Bure spoke with Fox News about what she's been working on, both professionally and in her health. At 49 years old, she wants to enter her 50s next year feeling like she's in her prime.
Candace Cameron Bure Outlines Her Fitness Goals Heading Into Her 50s
"That's what I'm working towards," Bure says. "I've been filming a lot of movies, so I don't feel like I'm at my top right now because my fitness has to take a back seat while I'm filming movies, but I turned 49 this year and I have really big goals for myself just keeping active and healthy, but going into 50, I wanna be in best shape that I can possibly be in."
All of this essentially serves one core purpose for Candace: making sure she's not too rusty the older she gets. She's incredibly aware that workouts can become more difficult with age. Consequently, staying active is a strong priority to make sure Bure still feels useful.
"[I'm] Leaning into all the things that I can do as I get older and preparing my body so that I can continue to do those things as I older," Candace explains. "Not so much from a vanity point of view, but like, you know, I wanna be able to open the peanut butter jar when I'm 80, and I need grip strength for that. But all that comes from using your muscles and lifting weights and just basic skills."
