Personal Life, Parents and Family Details :

• She has been married to her husband, Collin, for over 55 years and he is supportive of her healthy lifestyle, often assisting her with shopping and food preparation.

Entry into the Bodybuilding World :

• As a 56-year-old woman, Ernestine was still a sedentary secretary who had rarely worked out a day in her life. One day, she went bathing suit shopping with her sister and they found themselves laughing at each other.
• Ernestine and her sister then joined a gym and started working out together; her sister died a short time later from a brain aneurysm.
• Later, Shepherd too stopped going to the gym and many months later realized that her sister would have wanted her to continue, so she returned and started building herself into the woman she is today.

• Ernestine started bodybuilding slowly, employing the assistance of a personal trainer and nutritionist to get her in the best shape of her life.
• Now, she trains mostly senior women five days a week and enjoys inspiring women to reach their physical potential.
• The gutsy woman often competes in 5K and 10K races and runs marathons, putting in 80 miles a week when training for a race.

• The record-holding bodybuilder teaches her Baltimore community to get fit in the classes she teaches at Union Memorial United Methodist Church, and her lessons are always to a packed house.
• There’s no doubt, Ernestine is ripped, and even a 25-year-old would envy her row of abs.
