Inspirational Examples that Leave Us with No Excuses

What's your excuse?  Seriously, what good excuse could you have for not exercising?  For not eating right?  For not improving your life and renewing your youth?

Let me give you some inspirational examples of real-life people that have decided not to join the crowd or their suicidal death march to poor health.  Let me give you some real life examples of impressive men and women that dare to defy death:

1.  Jack LaLanne.  The example of all examples is Jack LaLanne.

2.  Gayle Clawson.  This 64-year old began weight lifting when her husband told her the only way to combat sagging skin was to fill it with muscle.  Good advice if you ask me and she began with a vengeance.  She lifts four days a week, walk and bikes two and does powerlifting of those days.  She currently can curl 88 pounds, squat 209 and dead lift 320.  Some of you reading this can't do that and we are talking about a 64-year old female here! [3]  She believes she can improve and set several world records.

3.  Christie Altman.  This 59-year old female took up swimming, with a passion I might add, at age 47.  She has competed ever since and now ranks in the top 10 nationally in many events in the United States Masters Swimming tournaments.  [1]  I'll bet she can lap most of us two or three times before we've done one!

4.  Kim Saari.  This 51-year old woman is a professional bodybuilder. She has done extraordinarily well and has placed fourth, in spite of being 51, in the Mr./Mrs. Natural Universe in 2007 and third in 2008. [2]  Yes, she's got the body of someone 25 years younger.

5.  Marathon Times.  Notice these record marathon times by age below.  The marathon times are under three hours all the way through age 73.  Three hours for 26 miles is just under an average of a seven minute mile!  Again, at age 73 someone ran 26 miles for an average of a seven minute mile.  And what's your excuse for not going to the gym four or five times a week or even walking for an hour a day? And don't forget to notice that someone finished the race at age 92!

6. Jennifer Beals, Actress.  In spite of her non-stop, grueling schedule, this skinny thing finds time to do 10K's and an Olympic distance triathlon.  She typically does two to three movies per year, yet has  found time to train and do a half marathon in a respectable 1:57:53. [5]  So if you think you don't have time, think of this actress' non-stop pace and how she is able to still get herself in shape.

7) Mavis Albin is an extraordinary 71 year old female, grandmother of eight, with "the energy of a 20 year old".  She is a few decades into menopause but you would never know it.  Her secret?  Her team, the Celadrin Tigerettes, have won the Senior Olympic gold medals three times in basketball and provide her with abundant exercise.  The team has been together ten years and have only had one person with declining health. [6]
