A little short, but think about this, how absolutely horrible it must be to live twice that age as we do today, what can you do at 50? No sports, no women/men, no sex, no job market, no money, no life, but you still can't die. An absolute sentence in hell on earth. I can't even imagine 40, but 50 must absolutely suck. What can one do with his life without anything?
Lookie here..........Granted this guy is not the norm....
Jack LaLane ...."1. In 1954, at the age of 40, LaLanne swam the length of the Golden Gate Bridge underwater with 140lbs of weight fixed to his body (including two air tanks), setting an “undisputed” world record.
2. In 1955, at the age of 41, LaLanne said “Cuff me, mother****ers!” and swam from Alcatraz to Fisherman’s Wharf—something that even desperate Alcatraz prisoners couldn’t do without dying from hypothermia or getting eaten by sharks.
3. In 1956, age 42, LaLanne shows up on Art Baker’s show “You Asked For It,” and proceeds to do 1,033 push-ups in 23 minutes. Even when I was in Kempo-Goju Karate as a young chap, and forced to do push-ups on my knuckles, I could never dream of such a feat. No big deal for LaLanne, though.
4. In 1957, age 43, LaLanne tows a 2,500 cabin cruiser across the Golden Gate Channel. The ocean currents made what should have been a 1 mile swim, 6 1/2 miles.
5. In 1976, at age 65, LaLanne towed 65 boats carrying 6,500 pounds of Louisiana Pacific pulp while handcuffed and shackled near Tokyo.
6. He married a woman named Elaine, leaving her with the terrible but comical name Elaine LaLanne.....:lol:

.....but there is no requirement to be unfit, fat, celibate or broke because a person reaches a certain age. The aforementioned conditions can occur at any age. Self discipline, desire and effort are all that is needed....
