Teaching and coaching infant/toddler survival and swimming allows me to combine my lifeguarding knowledge with my swim coaching skills!😎🏊🏽‍♂️💦❤️
I am 67 years young and love dancing even more now than ever. I encourage others to move their bodies. I am interested in everything creative.
At 65, taking Gold Medal in two cycling events at the Massachusetts Senior Games. Battled back from femoral stent surgery earlier in the year. As a NASM fitness professional and spin instructor – I know the value of exercise to stay fit and healthy, but even with that genetics and a few decades has taken some toll on my arteries. Hope to keep competing for many decades to come!
Love biking and competing on my gravel bike, because it’s great exercise and gets me out on the trails . I’m 68 1/2 .
I am doing a challenge to 🏃‍♂️ for Help our Heroes. 30 miles in November. Helping those who served to integrate back into civilian life. I served in the RAF for 9 years. Next Sunday I will be 73.👍😅 Ain't life great? 😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Together with hubby Chris planning a new life living and working in Southern Spain 🇪🇸 as digital nomads Life in your retirement years (he’s 70 and I’m 69) is making dreams come true We began our online adventures aged 57 and 55 and never looked back This is a chapter on life where we get to do the things we always thought we would And help others looking for inspiration, better health and financial wellness
I'm 76 now, and I continue to try and be the best version of myself. I love nature and photography, writing short stories and poems, day tripping to surprise locations, architecture, history, different cultures, and best of all, sharing it all with my children and grandkids ♥️
Great fun at the Georgia Golden Olympics!
Living the Dream… At the age of 70…I finished the Portland 1/2 and it was awesome… why I love it…because I can do it and I am not completing with anyone but me. We can be all we can be if we just do it…👨🏻‍🚒Ernie Misewicz
I love Olympic Recurve Archery, it keeps me mentally focused, involved with other archers, and physically fit.
I'm 75 and still managing to get off the ground (a little!), thanks to weekly workouts and Senior Olympics!
Taking home a little hardware from our Michigan senior games in track and field! During training months, there is no better feeling than getting up early, walking with my daughter then doing my workouts and being able to say, I have my workouts done before 8:30! Now bring on the day! I do post about my journey because I run for those that can’t. I try to take them along with me on my journey to be an athlete in my 70’s. I hope I can inspire seniors to stay active, keep moving and have fun!
I’m 68. I took up track & Field at age 63. I compete in the long jump, 400m, 200m, 100m, 60m, & 50m sprints. I’m a retired band director who still enjoys playing alto sax and the piano. I love the joy music brings. I love competing and all the health & social benefits associated with track & field. I’m thanks to Jesus enjoying everyday life. Ptl
I love hiking! I thru hiked the Appalachian Trail at 68.
At the age of 71 I sold my house in Colorado and started traveling the southwestern states in my RV. Three years later I find myself spending 8 to 9 months along the Texas Gulf Coast and traveling the other months.
Hiking, I love love love the outdoors.
This 70 year old former university faculty has discovered a whole new world as Santa Claus. This work has taken me to churches,historic sites, children and young adult groups, senior facilities, and work with the mentally impaired. Such a huge departure from working with university students. It rounds out my exposure to the world, allows me to bring happiness to others, and deepens my faith. Everybody loves Santa. Including me.
I'm 76 and after "retiring" from a 35 year career in public television, I launched a career as a makeup artist to help women 50+ look on the outside how the feel on the inside. Since many women start to feel "invisible" as they get older and feel ignored by the beauty and fashion indusltry, I love offering makeup tips and techniques that work for us now through on-line Zoom consultations, in-person classes and my YouTube channel "Boomer and Beyond Beauty with Elise." Meeting women from literally all over the world through my YouTube channel and newsletter has been an incredible gift.
USA Triathlon awarded me the 2024 Mike Greer Multisport Lifestyle Spirit Award at Nationals in September in Atlantic City NJ!

I also teach 12 fitness classes weekly; and I’m a certified US MASTERS Swim Coach and a Certified USA Triathlon Coach. Encouraging others to reach their goals is my everyday passion. I’m a retired ABA therapist and I’ve been racing triathlon since 1983! I would be honored to share my story of encouraging inspiring and igniting that passion that lives in all of us to achieve on your platform.
This September I turned 72 years old. My two favorite sports are spinning and swimming indoors and in outdoor lakes in NY and FL. Here I am in the sleeveless blue top next to the instructor in black at our Tuesday/Thursday 530 pm spin class.

I have fully recovered from my life-threatening heart disease of amyloidosis following my two years of successful chemotherapy treatments recently. Now, at 73, I am very active especially during summers in the Chicago area playing tennis, baseball, basketball and golf along with swimming in outdoor pools and at the beaches on Lake Michigan. I recently won the most points in a United States Tennis Association (USTA) all-ages, fun "pop-up" event at Gallagher Way, next to the Cubs' iconic Wrigley Field, and my "trophy" was not a gold medal but, instead, the attached photo showing me as the "biggest" tennis player in Chicago, as seen with the Gargantuan oversized tennis racquet and oversized tennis ball. A good time was had by all of the players in this city-wide activity.
I'm a bowler, have been. bowling for 60+ years. This is a picture of me and my grandson's girlfriend when we won a tournament this past weekend.

We enjoy soooooo many things. 2 of our favorites are traveling and running. We usually combine our vacations with a foot race, or maybe cycling or other form of ,sometimes extreme, exercise. This photo is my wife, Deb, 68, and me,75, taking a photo op in the “tree tunnel “ at the Kauai, Hawaii marathon & half. Deb ran the half and was 2 of 33 in her age group. I was the oldest participant in the full marathon and was the fastest in my age group and the next younger age group.
I am 76 and I love to exercise, mostly strength training 💪 I also love to golf, toss horseshoes, and bowl.
I LOVE performing live music with my two sons, Joseph (at my RIGHT: guitar, keys, lead & harmony vocals) and Stephen (at my LEFT: drums, percussion, guitar, lead and harmony vocals). Proud & happy dad in the middle (guitars, keys, mando, lead & harmony vocals). This is us taking a breather before showtime at a local St. Louis winery. My 64th birthday is just a few weeks away! More to come!! 😎🎸🎹🎤🎤🎤👍
I love playing tennis and then off for 9 holes of golf. Oh and I’m 71🎾🏌️‍♀️🎉
I began painting in 2019 at the age of 60 and I haven't looked back. While I enjoy creating, I especially enjoy helping others discover the healing properties of making art. I'm studying for an art therapy facilitator certification. I'm a screenwriter by profession, but an artist by passion.
I enjoy filling my patio planters full of colorful plants and sitting back watching the bees sip nectar and observing other wildlife. I'm 71.
Hiking makes me happy.
