Body Building Grandma Ernestine Shepherd Bench Presses, Runs Marathons At 73
Grandmother Up Every Day at 3 a.m. and Says 'I Feel Better Than I Did at 40'

What's so amazing about it was she just started working out at the age of 56 and prior to that she was sedentary just working a desk-job like most of us. If she can get to that kind of shape at 73 when starting as late as she did in her 50s, what does it say for so many of us who are starting in our 30s and 40s?

We definitely have what it takes to do as good and even better than her! Good luck everybody!

Slightly off topic, does anyone know how i can make that link url blue and clickable here. I tried typing: "["url=http://abcnews.go.com/Health/mess-ernestine-shepherd-body-building-grandma-benches-150/story?id=10480184"]" the link address "["/url"]" (without the double-quotes)

but it doesn't show up as a clickable link.

This is so awesome! I had to email the link to my hubby.

I'm glad the links aren't clickable. It's more secure that way because I can make sure that the link I see is the one that it is going to.

All I can say is "wow." I had to put that up on my Facebook page as well. She is truly inspiring in so many ways.
