As luck would have it my neighbor on the other rowing machine and I finished our workouts at the same time. Shortly after, thankfully he moved to strike up a little conversation with me. I learned he hits up the gym on average 3 hours and 15 minutes every day! He attributes rowing to his longevity and after he asked me to guess his age. Carl is 95 years old.

Next was Norman who at one point joked he was Carl's son, is 83 years old. Forget the 5 digit Submariner on his wrist... check out those Triceps!!! πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

Nothing more inspiring to me than guys like this still on the grind and thriving. Hope this boosts everyone's day the way it did for me πŸ‘Š
