Did You Hear the One About the 77 Year Old Body Building Grandma?

It's pretty hard to be fit over 40, does not it?

Or is it?

If you think, let me ask you one question;? You've heard Kelly Nelson or Morjorie Newlin ... two grandmothers body building

Read on my young friend, and maybe not so young, and learn about Kelly and Morjorie and what each chose to work with "the rest of life ".

People will give you all sorts of reasons for being out of shape, not exercising, or both. Sometimes it is, "I do not have time" or "I do not feel like it" or "It's just a waste of time." Sometimes these are true feelings and beliefs, but, on occasion, they have masks, "I'm too old to get fit ".

lady named Kelly Nelson began weight lifting in 1980, or more accurately, weight training, aged 53 Up to that point in my life, there was nothing athletic about its existence at all. Her mission is simple at this time.

I thought back on my arms need some work.

As we found out that not only should work, they need to "exercise ".

It was originally started to work on their own at home, only to back hand tighten. When he saw as weight lifting, or more correctly, "weight training" could do for the back of her arms, who was surprised to learn are called "triceps", she might understand these things weight lifting can do for the rest of it .

So, this 53-year-old athlete who did not start to exercise regularly to see what happens.

Around six months later, she was convinced her daughter, Colleen Fisher, who is 30 years younger, start training with her, and eventually Colleen began winning body building competitions.

In 1983, after three years of training, and has never coached in a real gym, bodybuilding Grandma Kelly Nelson competed in her first bodybuilding competition. She won the contest and never looked back.

She is competing, and training of.

Is it possible that it was Grandma body building may be the oldest female body builder around? We'll talk about that in a minute.

and Kelly Nelson and her daughter, Colleen Fisher, are adopting a lifestyle body building and weight training as the way they want to live. This may be a bit much for some people, but they certainly serve as a model for what over 40-crowd can do. At one point, Kelly regularly rode the bike and the gym where he trained, 10 miles each way, proving once again that the fitness after 50 is not an impossible dream.

Kelly Nelson was quoted as saying: "Aging is a disease and I do not have it. Nor do I intend to get it!" If your picture taken in the late 70's wearing bikini and flexin 'the storm is any indication, she did not get the disease even more.

Kelly Nelson, 77-year-old grandmother body building, has come a long way since the beginning of the fitness lifestyle as a housewife in the 80s. Since then he has won numerous bodybuilding championships, and now, with her daughter, markets her own line of fitness training videos.

As my wife and daughter like to say, "You go, girl !"

Now, if you think that Mrs. Nelson is something I have not had a chance yet to tell you about 86 years Morjorie Newlin and her numerous awards from her thirteen years body building competitions. Have I told Kelly Nelson still competed in her 70 -? Well, Morjorie Newlin began training at age 72nd

What she got upset enough to start a body building career that has taken her to competitions in Italy, France and Germany and it has helped equip the room with her award? One day, while shopping she realized that she could no longer raise £ 50 bags of kitty litter is necessary to take care of her cat!

Two years later, in her early 70's, Marjorie Newlin won the first bodybuilding competition.

Now, let's see. At the age of 53, Kelly Nelson began weight lifting, because she did not look like the back hand. At the age of 72, Morjorie Newlin decided he wanted to be independent enough to take care of her cat. From such simple starts, every body building granny gained fame and international recognition for making it possible to do what most people feel it is impossible for them.

also proved that women in their 70's and 80's may look hot in a series of bikini. How is that for breaking the stereotype?

Moreover, to prove that age does not always have the last word on how people should live that part of his life which he called the "golden years ".

Or, as Morjorie Newlin says, "I want to be as independent as can be, as long as I can,"

It seems as if her 80-as, for example, her 90-will really be fun!

Oh! Sorry!

What are we talking about how impossible it was for you to fit more than 40?
