I am an x ray tech and I had a patient come in one day who was roughly around 67. I asked him to take his shirt off for the x ray. OMG I was frickin blown away, this guy had a body like a 35 year old and I am not even close to kidding. Wasn't even wrinkly nice and taute, picture Hugh Jackman with less chest hair. I actually started studdering a little bit and said something stupid like ah I guess you work out regularly. He looked at me and said something like (sorry long time ago) Yea I do, like what you see don't ya. I laughed and had to admit for 67 he was very attractive and young for his age. So HOORAH for taking care of yourself you can still rock out a sexy bod and confidence at any age!

    You're an x ray tech? I 'm an ultrasound tech!! I hear you on this one...Most of the time I explain what clothes need to come offf and stay on and the patient is so nervous that when I come back in the room I see WAY more than I would choose to LOL.. I am so glad I am a woman with an innocent face and not a big burly man walking in on old ladies boobies. HA HA

    Wow...I will admit that's my father in law. He works out everyday and has a great upper body. (so weird saying that..err writing that). My hubby hates the gym, but he's lucky because he looks just fine.

    Chalene Johnson says something on her ChaLean Extreme DVDs, that supports this - "... muscle keeps you looking young..."

    One of the ladies working out with her is 60 years old and looks like she is in her 40s
