Fit Beyond 50: Ten Inspirational Male Role Models Part 4

Living “fit” is common among the young.
But what about the “young at heart”?
The ideal for society is youth, marriage and family, then age and death. The myth that you start dying as soon as you’re born gives the majority of society a reason to give up their journey for youth as soon as they get married. But, as you’ll see below, there’s a growing trend to debunk that myth.
I dare you to compare your feats to the feats these Greats accomplish each day:

7. Chuck Norris
Chuck-Norris
Age:  72
Accomplishment: Spokesman for Total Gym, martial artist and all around badass.
Total Gym:
As the endorser for Total Gym, at 72, he’s now been a USER of the Total Gym for  34 years.  While his workout is varied, he spends 15 minutes on it every other day and will incorporate the treadmill or elliptical for 30 mins on those days. Other days, you can find him doing martial arts or swimming.

8. Herschel Walker
Herschel Walker
Age: 50
Accomplishment: At 50, he’s still an active MMA fighter.
His Gig:
Few people outside of the MMA arena know that Herschel Walker, a former football great, is now a 50 year old MMA fighter. He still trains daily with a routine that consists of a grueling 3500 sit ups, 150 pushups and 8-mile runs!
At your age, how do you compare?
