Debbie Harry keeps fit by "speed walking" her dogs.

The Blondie star, 79, has revealed she used to work out with a personal trainer and has "tried everything" in her quest to stay fit and healthy but she's given it all up in recent years and now focuses on regular walks with her two beloved Russian chins.

She told The Telegraph newspaper: "I’ve tried everything at some point. These days I do a lot of speed walking with the dogs ... Of course they’re adorable. I had a bunch more [dogs], but they died.

"I’m practically vegetarian and I do old lady exercises, which is shocking to me. I mean how have I got so old? But I guess I’ve been lucky."

She went on to insist she still worries about her healthy, but feels she's still doing pretty well.

Debbie added: "That doesn’t mean I don’t also worry, acutely, sometimes. But I’m quite strong. I’ve had my accidents but I seem to be able to adjust and I’m pretty athletic. My motto is just kind of keep going. I don’t recommend that to everyone but it works for me."

Debbie - who is currently working on a new album -previously insisted she has no plans to retire and is keen to keep Blondie going for as long as possible because she can't stand the idea of not working.

Speaking in 2021, she told The Sun newspaper: "To be creative and to keep that part of my brain going is essential and as I get older. I just want to feel that side of life and feel that I am contributing somehow to my own well-being.

"Music is my life force. And I’ve had so much support from family, friends and fans that I can’t think of any other way. What else would I do? Become a race car driver?"
