You are only as old as you choose to be...

Check out this video of Eduard Trusevich. He is a 62 year old man who has been training with kettlebells for over 40 years. The video shows him in the midst of his snatch set at the 2007 Kettlebell World Championships. In 10 minutes, he snatches a 55lb kettlebell 220 times! This number is seen as a very high achievement for men half his age. This is a great reminder that almost anything is possible at any age. All you need is the desire to do it and the discipline to stay consistent. Now, I am not saying you need to be able to put up such snatch numbers as he is obviously very fit and has spent some time acheiving such a feat. Imagine what he was doing when he was 30!

The most important thing is to just do SOMETHING! Even if it is as simple as doing pushups and squats during commercial breaks. Hell, even lifting a weight above your head while sitting down will do as a start! Fitness does not have to be about gyms, expensive workout wear, boring cardio and comparing yourself to others. Workout at home or outdoors in your shorts from 1984, enjoying your choice of fun heart health exercise and feeling great as you top a personal best!
