British Bodybuilder Going Strong at 91

Experience: I am a 91-year-old bodybuilder.  Charles Eugster.  Guardian.

If ever this was a reason to keep going and never give up on yourself.

I’m not chasing youthfulness. I’m chasing health. People have been brainwashed to think that after you’re 65, you’re finished. We’re told that old age is a continuous state of decline, and that  we should stop working, slow down and prepare to die. I disagree. To me, a 65-year-old is young. I turn 92 this year. It is a frightening prospect – the law of averages is against me, and, yes, one day something will happen and that will be it. But until that day comes, I’m going to carry on working on my abs.

Attitude is everything.  The guy looks great.  Eugster easily shaves 20 to 30 years off his age here.
