94-YEAR and still got it.
A YouTube video posted by 94-
year old Stan Thomas, of his
grueling workout routine has
shamed lazy youth everywhere,
and proved that age is no barrier
to fitness.
Stan, a former naval officer and
later, a pie shop owner, made the
video after encouragement from
his friends.
The video shows Stan slogging it
in his home gym for 50 minutes
utilising equipment including a
treadmill, crosstrainer, bike,
speedball, wall bars, weights,
punching bag and rowing
machine.
After his bi-weekly training
routine, Stan says he has a ten
minute sauna, then a shower and
then hops into the jacuzzi.
“And then I go into a rest room
and I have got a bed with a
revolving mattress so I have a
massage on my back as I am lying
down,” he said.
“Every Friday I have a masseuse
that comes in and gives me a full
body massage,” he added.
AND in other feats of physical
endurance....
South Korean soldiers have
recently been filmed stripping off
to undergo training in Arctic
conditions.
The video shows male soldiers
without their shirts, and female
soldiers fully clothed, undergoing
rigorous exercises in the snow,
including press ups, being
covered in snow and wading
through icy waters.
NATURAL order?
A Russian zoologist who took a
baby chimp home to hand raise it
after it was rejected by its mother
was shocked when her mastiff
adopted the baby as its own.
Now the chimp eats and sleeps
with its “mother” in what experts
say is a fairly unusual situation as
dogs are usually wary of primates
due to their tendency for
unpredictable behaviour.
