Sally Field’s well-defined shoulders

People could not but admire them. When asked as to what was the secret of such marvelous maintenance of her shoulders and body, Sally Field revealed that she does regular hiking, biking, stretching, and posture routines.

She likes indoor cycle classes and also does weight training to strengthen her bones. Doing shoulder shrugs 10-12 at a time for 2-3 times a day will tone up the neck and shoulder muscles.

Standing and with a straight back, hold a dumbbell or water bottle in each hand with arms at the side. Raise shoulders upwards towards the ears (shrug them).

Hold momentarily and release. Repeat 10-12 times. Though Sally Field did not win the Tony Award, she did give a speech in honor of American Theatre Wing, the organization behind the Tony Awards.

Sally will talk about politics!

On the next day of the Tony Awards night, Sally Field tweeted her photo and pointed to the ‘Planned Parenthood’ pin on her gorgeous gown.

She had captioned it with the following:

“Sick of hearing actors talk re politics? 2 bad I won’t stay silent while politicians attack our rights. Proud to #StandwithPP #TonyAwards.”

“The political sphere – this is my real passion because for my children, my grandchildren, I see the whole world in such terrible shape and it hurts me and all of us. It takes enormous effort and time and passion and heart to participate in such a way that you take ownership of this planet. That you work at it and care for it, that you do what you can to make it healthy.”

At her 2007 post-Emmy award acceptance speech, Sally Field had said at the end:
