The picture I chose is from the fitness center that I work at. We are hosting a bootcamp for people over the age of 50. This is what caught my attention...usually we don't associate "bootcamps" or such intense fitness with older people. From my own observations, I don't see many people above the age of 50 doing intense workouts. I thought this was slightly odd so I decided that this would be a good thing to research. Maybe I'm just underestimating older people who are into fitness or I could not be working when their crowd is typically at the gym, but I decided to research this.
The article that I found went perfectly with this "Ageless Champions" bootcamp. The article reads that although aging has already started at ages 50+, you can still decrease aging effects by staying active. The article tells about a Chicagoland woman who realized she was so out of shape that it was effecting her health. After a year of continuous working out and healthy eating, she had lost over 30 pounds and also got her cholesterol back to normal. This woman shows that no matter what age you are, you can always make improvements to your health. It also made me realize that maybe I shouldn't judge the older people working out at Inwood anymore...when I'm that age I hope to be as active and dedicated as them!
