I was hoping someone else had seen the vid of the lady in the above reply, I watched the CBS news segment about her Tuesday evening, and I could not believe her strength and accomplishments in natural lifting competitions and running events for the National Senior Games. She dead lifts twice her current weight, benches more than most men her age and a few that are younger, too. Watching her one armed push ups as the reporter interviewed her blew my wife away, as it apparently did that reporter (a young woman.) I took away her attitude, and initiative, as the most inspiring aspect of the report. At 5'-0" she is almost total muscle, I doubt that she is concerned with osteoporosis, if you take the campaigns for older women and men to get into weights, so as to strengthen bone structure.

Watch the vid above if you skipped it, for some reason, and then think about the options of either sitting around in a recliner, or getting out and doing something for yourself, regardless of whether you think of your self as an athlete or not. I'd rather not put a label on myself, or anyone else, and erroneously stereotyping them.
