I'm 63, pretty active, strong, independent, capable, happy, healthy. This is how 63 is supposed to feel and look, for me.

Mental outlook is so important. For anyone who does not suffer from a serious condition, it is all about mindset.

There are so many negative age messages in our society that work to create a "limiting" perspective on aging. While you can't keep from getting old (beats the alternative!) you certainly have input into how you age.

74 and going strong.

63 years young and I plan on doing triathlons at least until I'm 100.....I consider myself very fortunate that I am able to still be active after the decades of abuse I heaped upon my body!

Oops, not a 50km cycle ride but closer to 85. Time flies when you're having fun. Basically, I was wondering if I ended up too far from home. Turned out I was. Lets see what my injured knee will have to say about that.

Just past 5 years of maintaining my weight and exercising regularly 😁 I’m gonna be 45 this year and this is how I feel...

I turn 60 in August. People guess my age at 50. I feel great. My body is not perfect but, I love it curves and all.

Crazy is good! Once you're crazy you can do whatever you like (within reason). That's my motto anyway.

I am 50. Garmin says my VO2max is that of an excellent 20 year old. But everyone who knows me knows that I am really just a 10 year old boy.

I just turned 50. I have rheumatoid arthritis but I still make it to the gym for two hours most days. I will be one of those women doing deadlifts when she's 80 years old.
Even with my RA, I feel better than I did in my 30s.

I'm 61. Having a group of friends who are very fit has helped me to maintain a healthy lifestyle as well as providing an active, fun social group. This picture was taken last July during a group training ride on the Mont Tremblant bike course in preparation for the Ironman race. Five of the people in this photo are over 55 years old:

Best way to get cat calls” about how young you look is visit your neighborhood senior center on bingo night.

Best way to get a reality check from “thinking you look younger than you are syndrome” is to walk past a pack of high school kids and listen to them say “Hey look at that old man, bet he smells like my grandpa’s closet.”

57 going on 18. Ok, slight exaggeration:) but I weigh less and feel better than I did when I was 40.
