One woman shared a look at her powerful workout and provided an uplifting take on aging. She demonstrates that getting older is all about perspective, like so much else in life. Watch the short video to see and hear from the woman about her unique thoughts on getting older.
Aging is something that impacts everyone on Earth. With every passing second, minute, hour and day, we get older – it doesn’t matter if you’re eight days, eight years or 80 years old. In addition to getting older constantly, aging is a process that cannot be stopped. No one has found a way to freeze or reverse time, so time marches on.
Since there is nothing we can do to stop aging, why not accept it and make the best of it? That’s precisely what one woman is doing and how she looks at getting older.
In a clip posted on YouTube, a woman in her 70s states that she has no fear of getting older. She believes we can get stronger as we age, and she might be onto something. Her strenuous workout regimen is evidence that she has gotten stronger as she’s aged.
“I have gained this knowledge that I can keep getting stronger,” she said. “And in my mind, I think I can keep getting stronger into my 80s and 90s.”
The woman admits that her daughter, who competed on “American Ninja Warrior,” had a significant impact on her. Watching her child on the popular television show motivated her to become more active and work on her strength.
She says her daughter told her to start doing pull-ups, and that’s precisely what she set out to do. However, it took her nine months to build up the strength to do one. Now, at 73, she can do 17 pulls at a time.
“And you can do a lot more than you think you can,” she said. “You have to throw away all those old stereotypes. Fifty-plus is not downhill. It’s just the beginning of a whole new chapter of your life.”
1 Timothy 4:8 “For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.”
