One month after appearing with a cane at the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony, where he was awarded a medal by U.S. president Donald Trump, Sylvester Stallone reassured fans with a video recorded at home during his workout routine.

The actor, who has spoken several times about the physical toll of his action roles, deals with ongoing issues resulting from multiple spinal surgeries and used the cane to walk the red carpet at the event late last year, which raised concern.
But Stallone, 79, put followers at ease by sharing a clip in which he appears without support and clearly in good shape.
In the video posted on Instagram, Stallone calls his private gym a sanctuary and highlights the importance of physical exercise.
“You feel better physically, so you have the strength to reach your goals feeling confident and ready to face any challenge. You want to keep fighting. See you soon,” he says in the post.
In the caption of the video, the star of the “Rambo” and “Rocky” franchises reinforced the need to take care of oneself; “Every year it gets harder, but that’s why you need to push yourself more and more. Blood, sweat and tears,” he wrote.
In the comments, fans and friends of the actor praised his determination; “We’ll be lucky if we look like Sly at his age,” wrote one follower.
“Leading by example!! Great job, Sly!” said another.
“Keep training, brother! Great to see you back at the gym,” celebrated a third.
