According to <a href=\"\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/good-life-extreme-exercise-anti-aging-pill\/story?id=14136343\">ABC<\/a>, the world's oldest competitive bodybuilder has a schedule like this:<\/p>\n<p><em>The day begins at 2:30 a.m. with a 10 mile run, which is followed by a breakfast of raw egg whites. Then its off to the gym for a few more hours of exercise: She does 300 sit-ups, makes leg pressing 225 pounds look easy and even teaches a class.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course, she does a bit more of an all-around body workout than this, but this is just a sample of her schedule. And the self-described \"former couch potato\" has become somewhat of an anti-aging beacon due to her diligent work in the weight room. <\/p>\n<p>Through her fame, I'm sure that she's inspiring some old fogies to work out more and get in shape.<\/p>\n<div style='text-align:left' class='yasr-auto-insert-visitor'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several weeks ago, I did a post on Ernestine Shepherd, who is a 75-year-old female bodybuilder who defies all logic.
