This is a very inspiring clip of a 72 year old woman who is obviously in great shape. She's more fit than most anyone. Great story. But look deeper. According to the narration, she runs 80 miles a week and lifts weight nearly every day. Now look at the exercise class she teaches -- 5lbs. dumbbells, easy movements, relaxed pace. One of the class members even says she wants to do what what the teacher is doing so she too can look that good.
Well, umm..........
Granted that everyone needs to start where they are. Everyone needs an on-ramp to intensity. And yet I wonder -- do the people in the class ever think they'll look like her doing such easy-breezy "workouts"?
If someone wants to look like her, they need to work like her.
This is one of those tragic disconnects I see so often in the fitness industry. If someone inspires you and you want to be/look like them, then find out what got them there and DO that.
