Going to the gym is a personal choice and in most cases it's a hobby. Not having a go at you personally but man I see these pics every day of someone in the gym missing a limb or they're old or they're a mother of 3 plastered with "whats your excuse" - seriously naff off, I go to the gym because I like it.

 

This stuff doesn't motivate me what so ever. Shes 77 and chooses to lift, so what? It's here choice I've seen an older lady at my old gym Exodus doing weights with her husband. Pretty sure they're closer to 200 years old.

 

Again sorry not a go at you, just had to vent haha

Good on her but I hope I dont give a f*ck about what I look like at 77 outside of being healthy enough to prolong my life and spending quality time with my family.

yeah different ways of looking at it

 

its real impressive when any old people are in the gym for sure

 

but i dont go to gym because iv seen old people doing it, i go to gym because its fun and it is a outlet of rage so that i dont go to jail for smashing my computer over someones head at work

 

strength/size gains are a pleasant side effect

[Gym rat]

When I see old people at work mostly doing cardio for general health etc . I think good on them

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

i too do not find old people motivational... good on her but wasn't worth my time watching that vid

Fark she looks mint for a 77 year old. I think it shows the importance of weight training for the elderly if anything. I hope im still able to hit the weights at that age.
