Don’t let age slow you down.  Kozo Haraguchi can still move at the ripe age of 95.

Have a nice weekend,

Looks like Jack Lalanne is ready to pioneer fitness on Internet radio.  Check this recent article/interview:

Fitness guru, 93, making Internet radio his pulpit

One quote from the interview is listed below:

Exercise is king. Nutrition is queen. Together, you’ve got a kingdom. If you have a Corvette, you don’t put water in the tank. The human machine deserves the same treatment. No cake, pies, ice cream, soda. Your hair is out of shape. Your skin is terrible. Your elimination is bad. The wrong fuel in the human machine does that. I am going to motivate people to eat better.

For those who use age as an excuse to avoid exercise, I suggest that you take a look at this woman’s site:

Built Old Lady

This woman is 63 years young, and can deadlift 275 pounds.  She is a NASA USA National Powerlifting champion.  What makes her accomplishments even more impressive however is that she didn’t start training until 2003. 

Now who said that you are too old to exercise?  This woman didn’t begin until she was approaching age 60, and now she is competing as a powerlifter. 

She is living proof that the body can accomplish much more than most will ever realize.  There are action takers and action fakers.  Some people wake up each morning and GO FOR IT, while others sit back and wonder why nothing falls in their lap. 

New flash - If you want something, go and get it.  If you don’t get it, work harder until you do.  That is the real secret to success (commonly referred to as busting your ass).

Have a great weekend,

Ross

It’s amazing how what he said is still true today.

It’s unbelievable that what Jack said is still true today…

This isn’t an exercise story, but definitely an inspirational piece considering the recent focus on age as nothing more than a number:

101 Years Old and Still Going Strong

Here is a video from ABC news:

Look out world…

Randy Couture has done it again!  Only this time, he did it at age 44!  That’s right, 44 years old!  On Saturday night, Couture dominated Gabriel Gonzaga (28 years old) via a 3rd round TKO to retain his UFC Heavyweight championship.

Couture really has taken the age-doesn’t-matter saying to a new level.  Back in 1994, George Foreman defeated Michael Moorer at age 45 to become the heavyweight champion, but his victory was much different.  It was Moorer who dominated throughout, until Big George landed the single knockout punch.

Couture’s victory was also one sided, but he was the man who dominated throughout.  He didn’t land one punch.  He dominated the fight from start to finish. 

I actually receive emails EVERY week from someone who writes “complaining” about their old age.  These people actually complain about being in their 30’s! 

We can only hope that Randy Couture can change the minds of many, who have all but given up. 

Forget age.  It’s just a number, until you start believing that it is more than a number.  The body AND mind are much more capable than most realize. 

Sure there will be doubters and critics, but often times, these doubters simply hate on those who have done something that they couldn’t do or wouldn’t do. 

I’m sure there were doubters who told Randy that he was too old.  He didn’t listen.  At age 44, he is as dominant as ever!  I can’t wait to see him fight again!

Ross

Mike Flynt certainly did NOT make this statement.  The 59 year old is prepping for the new college football season, and not as a fan…  Mike has made the Division III team at Sul Ross State.

Fountain of Youth

To those who harp on age, we can only hope that Mike’s story will help them to see the light!

Ross

Is just a number!  And if you don’t believe me, just ask Dara Torres!

Listen to Jack! 

This video may be in black and white, but EVERYTHING that he says is STILL true today.  People need to “wake up” and listen to his advice!

Enjoy!
