I will be turning 53 this month! I have 6 grandkids who all want their grandpa's attention and one on one. It takes a lot of energy to keep up. A lot of my friends become couch potatoes and tell their grandkids they're to old, but I don't want to use that excuse, so I'm exercising and trying to keep up. I made a new years goal two years ago and I've kept up with my goals. Now I want more! My body looks better and I feel better. I'm just not ready to give in to old age yet

53... your not even old yet. you still have to wait for social security. it really sounds to me like you need a new vehicle. hahahahaha. age is just a number anyway... its not about that number... its about how you feel now and how you want to feel. good job and keep up the good work. and you can do things with the grand kids that will help you stay fit and get you to stay with them. just think of fun ideas out doors.

Hi Doug, it's never too late. There are quite a few geezers in our little community. Sounds like you have done "healthy " first and are ready to expand your horizons. Even a couple of our moderators are over 49, though one of them is a little senile.:big_smile: You'll be amazed at what you can train your body to do if you stick with it. Welcome here.

charlie's still alive????
I digress, louie simmons is almost 60 i think, and he's still totalling elite. My father is in better shape at 47 then the teenagers he hires. age is never a reason, only an excuse. Im glad to hear your not willing to give in. It makes me want to go train.
ill be doing pushups if anyone needs me.
