Re: You are never too old.
They are amazing but they are the exceptions , sometimes I think pointed out so that we 'young folk'feel guilty for not doing more..
I was working holiday cover last year and the man I had to care for was in tracksuit bottoms and a vest when I arrived doing his morning exersize which included a static bike ride and pull ups on a bar above the door.. He trotted up and down the stairs like a young gazelle and I thought wow he is doing well for his age which I estimated at about 75...
He then told me he had a very important birthday coming up in 2017 , I raised an enquiring eybrow and he explained 'well I was born in 1917 so next year is my 100th'
I nearly fell over! I know he is still fit and well his car is outside his house and Ive seen him on his bike getting the shopping...
However most of the people I see are at deaths door by 70.
