Jane Fonda likes yoga as she can "think about going shopping" while she's exercising.

The 75-year-old actress is currently promoting her latest project, a new yoga DVD entitled Jane Fonda: Prime Time AM/PM Yoga for Beginners.

Jane has revealed why exercise is beneficial for both the body and mind.

"Well, thats the goal," she told Origin magazine when asked if she has a clearer mind from practicing yoga.

"You can do yoga and be thinking about going shopping. The goal is kind of like meditation, is to be totally present in your body in the moment. Thats when the most profound effects of yoga can happen. Thats what I urge people to try to do. Its very important to be in your body."

Jane knows that her age has affected her physical abilities. The star began yoga in the mid '90s, but has since slowed down.

"Ive had a knee replacement and a hip replacement, and pretty intensive back surgery in March - in fact, two days after I finished my DVD. I used to be very, very flexible, and I still am given my age, but I cant do the lotus position and things like that anymore," she sighed.

"I think that what I can do and what I did is something that most people can do without fearing getting hurt.

"All the DVDs that are out there are for younger people that can turn themselves into pretzels like I used to be able to. I thought, who better than me to get back in? I think Ive done five under the new brand Jane Fondas Primetime Workout. They are for Baby Boomers and older, and people who have never worked out, even if theyre younger. Everything is slower, its easier. Its very, very safe, and yet it gets everything going."
