What got her upset enough to begin a body building career that has taken her to competitions in Italy, France, and Germany and helped her furnish a room with her awards? She could no longer lift the 50 pound bags of kitty litter she needed to take care of her cat! Two years later, she won her first body building competition.

Now, let's see. At age 53, Kelly Nelson began weight lifting because she didn't like the looks of the backs of her arms. At age 72, Morjorie Newlin decided she wanted to be independent enough to take care of her cat. From such simple starts, each body building grandma gained fame and recognition for deciding that is IS possible to do what most people feel is impossible for them.

They have also proven that women in their 70's and 80's CAN look HOT in a string bikini. How's that for busting up a stereotype?

Even more, they proved that age does not always have the last word on how a person shall live that portion of their lives that has been called the "golden years".

Or, as Morjorie put it, "I want to be as independent as I can be, for as long as I can,"

Looks like if her 80's are an example, her 90's are really going to be fun!

Oh! I'm sorry!

What were you were telling me about how impossible it is for YOU to be fit over 40?
