Candace Cameron Bure’s Bold Plan to Hit Peak Fitness at 50 While Starring in Mysteries and Holiday Films

At 49, Candace Cameron Bure is charging toward her 50s with a bold mission: to be in the best shape of her life. The actress, known for her roles in Full House and a slew of heartwarming Christmas movies, shared her fitness ambitions with enthusiasm. "I’m not where I want to be yet—filming keeps me busy—but I’m gearing up to crank the dial on my workouts," she said, her trademark positivity shining through.

Bure’s schedule is packed, having just wrapped a time-travel Christmas flick, Timeless Tidings of Joy, and diving into another holiday movie soon. She’s also starring in the Ainsley McGregor Mysteries series, playing a criminologist-turned-crafter in cozy, family-friendly whodunits. The latest, A Case for the Yarn Maker, promises sharp dialogue and clever clues, with Bure teasing, "Listen closely—every word’s a hint, but I hope you’re stumped until the end!"

Fitness, for Bure, isn’t about chasing a certain look anymore. "It’s not vanity," she explained. "It’s about being able to hike with my kids or grandkids, or open a stubborn peanut butter jar at 80." She’s been dedicated to staying active since her 30s, blending gratitude with grit. "I love weightlifting, but it’s also about fun—ride a bike, play pickleball, do a cartwheel! Do what made you happy as a kid."

Her family’s competitive pickleball games are a highlight, and she’s thrilled to share the screen with her daughter, Natasha Bure, in Timeless Tidings. As a mom and industry veteran, Bure offers wisdom to Natasha, now 26, who soaks up her advice. "I’m blessed she asks for my guidance," Bure said, beaming with pride.

Bure’s approach to aging is refreshingly practical yet spirited. She’s not racing toward wrinkles but preparing her body to stay strong and vibrant. With her mystery series gaining steam and a fitness mindset rooted in joy, Bure’s proving 50 is just the start of something extraordinary.
