discuss How Old is Too Old For Training?

[Yama]

Once I watched an interview of 75 years old man who came to our country for adventure sports and he had recently done a bungee jump. In the interview, he said he training of boxing and martial arts. I thought that was an exception, we don;t find old men training. By the way how old is too old for training for sports?

It's all about the person's body. Some people can't train when they are 50 years old. It might be as a result of one health challenge or another. While someone can still train when they are 70 years upwards.

I have friends in their 70s and 80s who can hike and bike longer than I can any day, and I'm 40.

I hope I can do that at 70 and 80.

RKF Jr. shows that even 70-year-olds don't have an excuse. Albeit, you need to have a proper diet and exercise routine up to that point, or this lift of even 105 pounds isn't happening. But, it shows that you can never get too old to quit... just keep going. (I also tend to believe he's on TRT, but at proper dosing to get testosterone for his age, which would allow such lift, isn't "cheating")

I hope I can do that at 70 and 80.

You should be able to for as long as you can keep it up. Otherwise, your muscles will naturally atrophy once you stop hiking and won't be able to even make the stairs anymore.

It's never too late to start. One's fitness goals can be achieved at any age. It's not about age, it's about commitment, perseverance and consistency. However, you have to listen to your body because there is a limit to the intensity of training that should be done as one ages.
