Watching Van Dyke dance and have fun with his wife at 96 is remarkable, and he once said he could do all that because of his good genes and active lifestyle.

The Hollywood legend explained he had always worked out. When he was 93, he used to go to the gym thrice a week to lift weights, walk on the treadmill, and get in the pool to do water aerobics.

Van Dyke added that at his age, he needed to keep moving. He joked that if someone put him on solid ground, he would start tapping.
