75 Year Old Body Builder - what do you think?

Post by fabindia »

I wouldn't say that I find body builders particularly attractive (women body builders I mean!) but I do admire people who are determined not to let old age stop them doing things they love. Not sure about the 2:30 run though, sounds extreme even by my standards.

What do you think?

)c( I love her )app( I saw her a couple of years ago on Oprah Winfrey and was blown away by her. I thought she was such an inspiration and I'm trying to keep myself young with exercise too - though not so extreme, and certainly not getting up early!

No problem can withstand the power of continuous thought.

I hope I am as fit as her when I am that age. Anything that keeps you moving, tones up your body, and gives you more energy has got to be good. Good on you Mrs )t'

If its that same black lady I saw on the news the other morning.
In awe, totally in awe, what discipline! Just goes to show what exercise and positive mental thought (you have to have that if you are serious about working out) can have.
Truly inspiring.

I have a freind who at 73 still cycles 100 miles a week so there is hope for me yet!
Even though I'm only doing about 20 at the moment.

Certainly makes me look weedy. I think I need to go on a Charles Atlas body building course.
