That woman is only 61??? Add ten….
Oh Wow! only in America a shirt and tie in the gym!
I'm 62, I surf (up to a little overhead) and just placed 2nd overall in Costa Rica Nationals volleyball doubles. No need to stop!
Honestly when I was in Korea and Taiwan and I was seeing seniors race past me as they climbed up mountains and crouching down/kneeling in a sustained way, I knew that the approach to physical fitness that most people who are elderly/golden years in Canada was NOT the way to go. I am now 34 and I am realizing that I NEED to get physically fit now, as it will be easier the younger I start.
I guess there are no colored people in Michigan?
