More Age Defying Feats!

Michael Secrest gives us yet another example of tremendous physical condition at the young age of 54. In a recent test, his maximal oxygen consumption, EKG, and blood pressure all scored in the SUPERIOR category.  And while this may not sound too impressive, his scores were in the superior category for men ages 18 to 29!  At age 54, Michael is still in tremendous physical condition.  Who said that age matters?

Secrest is certainly not new to fitness however.  Just last year he rode over 500 miles on a bike in 24 hours.  Not too shabby…

534.75 miles in 24 hours

    Great quote:

    “It’s more mental than physical. Even Michael Shermer said that he’s never seen an athlete who is more focused than I. When one has a purpose in life, focus is never a question.”
