Age No Barrier

[bigmd]

Here is proof age is no barrier.

this fanatstic lady is 3 months off 70yrs old.

She is the most inspirational person in the gym to me, as well as this she is a NZ National cycle champion in her age group.

I share these for inspiration so please if you have any comments that are not complementy to a women who means a great deal to me please, I ask keep them to yourself. After my last post of a client of mine i had second thought posting these pics but I think for anyone who doubts they can give this sport a go, heres proof it can be done.

PS at 69yrs and 9mths and a bodyweight of under 60kg she has a 40kg+ bench press for 10 and an incline D/b press of 14kg (on a gd day) for 8 to 10. with perfect form.

That truely is fantastic! Awesome job :clap:

[runveerun]

Fantastic! It's so motivational to see and hear about ladies such as this! Well done! :clap: I must show my step mother she is about the same age and has started going to the gym at 75 years old inspired by her step daughter!

Age is certainly no barrier!

WOW :shock: :clap:

[teamfatboy]

Wow, that is truly inspirational. All kudos to her for achieving such great results.

That is AMAZING!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

I Wish i have that much commitment at that age. If i live tat long that is. :pfft: :pfft:

That's fantastic! It's a shame my mother doesn't know someone like her, might have inspired her to do something similar and saved her from all the illness obesity has caused.

It's great seeing a few of the older ladies at my gym and hearing about them at other gyms. One older woman who goes to pump at my gym puts many of the young 'uns to shame with the weights she lifts.

Wow. My mum's in her early 60's, and complaining of the aches that come with age. I'm trying to persuade her that regular light workouts in the gym would be the best thing for her, but she doesn't buy it.

I'll show her these photos. Thanks for posting them Mike.

Great stuff, thanks for posting that MD

[Grover]

Agree with all the above, great to see photo's as the saying is "seeing is believing"

There's no way I would've guessed her to be nearly 70! :shock: That's some mean muscle, considering how much harder it is to build muscle at that age. Kudos to her :nod:

She is waaaaay 8) It's one of my goals to be lifting at that age and older!

[IronHyde]

That's awsome. I hope i am still able to train at the gym when i'm that age.

This lady is cool!! I know her well and love her to bits. She is a fantastic mother and nanna and is truely inspirational. How I would love to have some of her drive and determination!!

I hope I am half as fit at that age - actually I wish I was half as fit now!

[boostinggtir]

I'd hit it.

[Gym rat]

Wow is right and congrats :clap: :clap: :clap:

[MasterTel]

Yes, that certainly is inspirational!

Another great example of ladies getting in better shape as they get older could be seen at the National Champs last weekend - Overall Figure champ (Vickie Cattell) and Overall Women's physique winner (Kaye O'Neill) are both 48 years of age .. the same age as Jo Stewart!

It seems these ladies are just like a good vintage wine .. they get better with age! :nod:
