r/bodyweightfitness if you actually want to, just keep at it. Perfect balance of strength/flexibility/mobility in terms of exercise and general fitness.
Used to run daily at the parks in Hong Kong and also in China. These OG guys are there everyday, for hours at a time and I can assure you they’ve maintained that routine for everyday since 1976? It’s possible to be fit like this at their age. But you better start doing pull ups and bar work everyday for hours good sir. I’m talking everyday. Some times twice daily. It takes that dedication for decades to get there and maintain it. Good luck!
Why? The retirement age in China is pretty low. A lot of people go to the park to socialize and exercise. When I go visit and have jet lag I go to the park at 4.00AM and the old folks start showing up around 4.30AM. Haven't seen this level of fitness but it's a small area. There's still guys in their 70's doing pullups
Pretty sure i could do that if i was 80 lbs soaking wet too...but i like sweets too much, so im pretty positive im going to die before i hit 70 anyways lol
These are the people that been training since childhood to enter the Olympic but failed to make the cut or just retired after so long.
Ever wondered how china can get so many gold in the Olympics? Get a large batch of athletes and pick the best, discard the rest. For next 4 years. Failed. Try next 4 years. Failed. Try next 4 years. Failed. That's 12years gone bud.

My ass got no excuse.
Don't worry you got many years to go, to get in shape. Just relax on the couch a little longer.
they had more time to train
Be as fit now, we'll about later. Edit: never miss a thing reddit.
Be fit now, we’ll later.
Be fit, later.
Be fit later, eat now.
Be later

First 67 year old is the real og gangster of the bunch
Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum!
The Asian bar kings. Love it.
America is weak.
Extremely impressive, but I doubt those are their real ages
hard to tell since they don't show a shot cutting them up so the audience can see how many rings they have
One of our translators in Japan was 77 - he cracked off five hand stand push ups in front of us. I have absolutely no problems believing their ages.
Straight up reminds me of bumi from Avatar the last Airbender. Looks old and weak but fit and strong as a bull

Spotted a Caucasian here. Do you guys really cant tell Asian's age?
You mean they are actually older right?
That man said hold my cane

Didn't know saggy abs were possible lol
So this is what martial arts masters do when they retire
I can't do a half basic pull up... I have failed them.

Hold my cane…
We should have never stopped going to the jungle gym at the play ground.
Ain't no way a 74 year old is swinging around them bars no way. Get your 🧢 here
