NO EXCUSES 5:
I'M TOO OLD TO WORKOUT!
Ridiculous! So often people tell the elderly they need to slow down and rest when they get older. That is all wrong! When you stop being active, your muscles and bones weaken! Exercise can actually help stave off muscle loss and prevent falls.

•Lew Hollander became the second 80-year-old to complete the Ford Ironman World Championship (2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile marathon).
• At 93 years old, Tao Porchon-Lynch is a winning ballroom dance competitor and teaches at least 12 yoga classes a week.
• At 98 years old, Sensei Keiko Fukuda became one out of only 16 people in all of history to earn a 10th degree black belt.
There are even workouts that are a bit easier for people with injuries or elderly. One of those is Tai Cheng. Another great workout that has a modifier to follow if the workout is too hard is the 21 Day Fix!
So, I think it is very fair to say that most people are not too old to workout. Obviously talk to your doctor for safety and health purposes, but don't completely write off the possibility of health and fitness because you think you are too old!
