71 year old man at home
| Back | Next | |
I am 71 years old. I have kept myself reasonably fit and now usualy swim a half mile every day. I have been a regular drinker throughout my life, was a smoker until in my late forties. Since the age of nineteen I have eaten hugely without putting on weight. I am shocked at the many young men I see who are overweight when stripped for swimming. I was lucky enough to have been born in 1935 and lived through the Second World War. Kids in those days were skinny as whippets. As we had no television (not until I was about eighteen) we were constantly walking, running, biking and playing team games. I am about half a stone above my usual weight at present as I have just got back from holiday! Otherwise you'd have had a better view of my 71 year old 'six pack'! |
