Thanks for the link, Reeta. Yes, definitely a strapping bunch of people – and ‘actively living’ rather than filling in time. Interestingly Buster Martin may ‘only’ have been 95 and not 102 when he completed the London Marathon. There’s a lot of controversy about his date of birth but Nick Coopers blog of 21 March 2009 may have resolved this: http://www.nickcooper625.blogspot.com/
All that aside he’s a great character – and an inspiring example of how to grow old disgracefully!!

Here are some people who made the choice to age healthily. They’re great role models.

I agree, Chris. The book ‘Biomarkers’ based on research done at Tufts University in the US, supports this too. And, 15 years down the line, it’s still relevant: http://www.cbass.com/Biomarkers.htm

I work as an athletic conditioning coach and fitness professional among the work I do with human potential. The amazing potential of some people amazes me even though I've seen it all before. Recently I trained a guy aged 90. He did a weight training workout and some intervals on the indoor rower. He's been training with weights since the 1940's. Here's my two cents: Weight training is the physical fountain of youth. It is loss of strength that puts people in nursing homes. Also, strength training promotes the production of key hormones and enzymes that slow down the process of ageing. So not only is this a way to live longer, it also has the potential to provide real longevity in terms of a functional life. You know what they say; "healthy mind, healthy body and vice versa".
