Morjorie Newlin

Morjorie Newlin began body building at the age of 72 and went on to win many trophies in body building competitions. How's this for inspiration?  Her motivation was to remain independent and to be able to carry groceries on her own. I hope this will help you (me too) to become more active in 2011.

Before retiring from a career of nursing, Morjorie did work out, using the treadmill, step machine or stationary bike at her local gym. But she didn’t get really fit until her early 70’s when she took up bodybuilding in addition to her cardiovascular workouts in ordr to take preventative measures against developing osteoporosis.

Morjorie showed that it’s never too late to get fit. She cited independence confidence, energy, and health as reasons to do so.
