I completely agree. I'm almost 62 now and I'm in better shape than I was at 51, though that's not saying much. Yes, she seems to be in great shape, as are a lot of people her age and mine. I'm working on it, because I still play music and I'm tired of seeing pictures of myself looking like the Michelin man. I only responded the way I did because of your original suggestion that they gaver her special preference, which they didn't.

OK where are on the same wave length. I really would like to know if she killed the 17-21 year old standard because that really would be impressive doable even by some older than her I bet Jack Lalanne could have killed the male 17-21 standard the day before he passed away.My father told me about Ranger training he went through during Vietnam some of the guy strying out even there where not putting forth full effort of course those guys got canned either by instructors or by peer evaluation.

I am sure at the same time some of the youngsters did not put in full effort either.I recall when I was in basic there where only a handful of really fit guys and guys actually putting maximum effort into PT and one of the Sergeants pointed out to lazy ones the 33 year old ex-NBA player who was slaying the youngest standard.
