For the passed few weeks I’ve gone down to the park where I have met a few old Chinese guys that do a workout that would put most folk to shame.

The oldest is 77 and the youngest is 68 I think. The use most of the gym equipment here and can do full body pull ups with hands facing either direction on the bar which is not easy. If you grab the bar with an open palm towards you then you will find this a lot easier than trying to grab the bar with an pen palm facing away, give it a try. Two of them, the oldest and the youngest can both do these pull ups. They do push ups, the do stretches which sees them having their legs up on the wall nearly at head height. The flexibility they have is quite amazing.

I just hope I’m as fit and mobile when I reach their age.
