It's never to late to get ripped - just ask 64-year-old retired accountant Don Ohmes. St. Louis today reports that after being retired from his job for five years, Ohmes told his personal trainer that he wanted to try his hand at bodybuilding. Now, Ohmes is competing with the best of them at local bodybuilding championships.
"I felt a deep sense of accomplishment," said Ohmes, quoted by the news source. "And maybe people will think - 'This guy is 64 and he can do it. So maybe I can do it, too.'"
Health is important to Ohmes, especially considering that his brother died of a heart attack when he was 50. His wife states that she's proud of him for making such a strong commitment to his well-being.
The National Institutes of Health states that staying active can be a "fountain of youth" for the elderly. Exercise can reduce feelings of anxiety and depression as well as help relieve arthritis pain. Of course, it's important to consult your doctor before beginning any fitness routine, but getting fit is a good idea for people of all ages.
