My grandad said the same thing 'use it or you lose it' He had a stroke at 90 and just when they said he wouldn't walk again.... he did 6 months later! Against the odds, he just kept pushing. At 93 he fell and broke his pelvis, they said no chance of walking again... 6 months later he did!!! What a guy. I RUINED all the ligaments in my ankle in a work incident.... 48 and still going aerobic! Back running and cycling- winning/losing its all about attitude 😉
your granddad is awesome!
That's amazing. Normally when they break something at that age it's game over. So great to hear your grandfather story
Awesome sharing ❤️
U better be a champion with that example to avoid dishonering da family name
That guy nails it in the first sentence he says: You have to prepare for old age.
Absolutely 🥳🥳
In what way?
By strengthening body muscles through exercising
@@alwayslearning7672 just eat good and keep the body strong. All the things we should be doing in our youth.
I'm 60.If I train hard I might reach his level of ability in 30 years .. What a guy, truly inspirational
Best luck
Keep going
Its more like retaining it until 90 , but if you're improving into that age fair play!
Just be consistent
هل أنت ضمنت أنك ستصل لهذا العمر ألا تعرف أن الأعمار بيد الله ، أنا أبلغ 32 سنة ولا أضمن أنني سأعيش لجزء من التانية و هذا الرجل إن كان في هذا السن و مزال بصحة جيدة فعليه شكر الله لأنه الوحيد القادر على أي شيء و الحمد الله و الشكر له عز و جل له الملك ، وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير و الحمد الله على نعمة الإسلام
I'm 65 and have worked out my whole life and will never stop
Excellent Denise! 👍🏼
The man of men!!!
Keep going...we got this
@@markgrenier6787 yes we have!
On August 14, 2021 I will be of 65 years. Running for over 50 years, zero medicines in my life. Enjoying life as in my 20's 😃
Reminds me of a quote from Clint Eastwood that I have never forgot. He said..." Don't let the old man in." Interpret it how you won't but our attitude and thinking has alot to do with our aging. I turn 50 soon and I am in great shape and plan to stay in great shape for the rest of my life. "DONT LET THE OLD MAN IN."
Cool Jason ** Keep it going
Great quote!
Haven't heard it before, but I like that quote. . . . I'm 55 and run faster and longer now than I ever have. I don't want to let the old man in . . . .
@@jdb2727 Reading all of you gave me more positive energy to overcoming my anxiety.
I'm 37 now. 3 years ago I was doing
VERY intense calisthenics and today I don't see myself even reaching a "normal" way of life.
Watching these kind of videos and seeing your comments give me extra motivation to keep fighting.
Thank you. Sorry for my bad english.
Greetings from Spain!
With two bad knees I'm fighting like hell not too. Funny the more injured I get the harder I'm fighting. Indeed "Don't let the old man in".
This is the real Superman.
True 🌟
My mom just passed away this last weekend, frail, decrepit and only 6 months older than Lew at 91. The last time i remember my mom exercising she was 32 and chasing my little brother down the street to spank him. Lew moves like a 40 year old. He's my template for the future - gonna keep moving, get across the finish line, push through hard things.
91 still a good age for your mum 👍
You got good genes then, with proper exercise you'll definitely still be running at that age.
On August 14, 2021 I will be of 65 years. Running for over 50 years, zero medicines in my life. Enjoying life as in my 20's 😃
@AL Light Jogging up-to 3km is good, this routine may be continued till 100 years of age.
But legs , arms, waist, shoulders , neck and all other organs stretching after jogging or exercise is as much essential as everything.
So true, what you do in your 40s will determine what you will be able to do in your 90s. He looks strong and robust! Not a typical older person.
My mom is 89 and she can still run. She does not train at all but she never sits down. The only time she sits down is when she eats.
God Bless !!!
And when going to the toilet!
And when she sleeps.
@@brianforbes9315 good one🤣🤣🤣
I like how muscular he looks. So many elderly look frail
He will be on HRT
muscles come from the testosterone replacement
I doubt he is vegan, that is for sure.
I'm 55yrs young and I love your outlook to age my own motto is Train For Life... Fit For Life
Great motto 👍🏼
I am 63 and started to make a comeback, health-wise; this video really inspires me. Thank you! He is right -- you have to put your mind to it. Such a champion.
Un fuera de serie!!!!....
Indeed a champion! I too started a comeback in my mid 50s and feel great as I soon approach 60 🥳🥳
Well, you look great, and will look even greater as time goes by and your smile widens. Bravo!
@@onerider808 Thank you!
Wow! What a legend. He truly is uncommon amongst the uncommon.
Indeed. He has the 'Goggins' mentality.
I am 45 years old and can’t agree more with the statement that what you do in your 40s will determine what you can do in your 80s and 90s ..! I hit the gym everyday for one hour , get up early and meditate , eat twice a day , do a 16 hour intermittent fasting and feel like I am on top of the world .. can’t wait to be his age and think to myself what is next for the next 30 years ..!
amazing man - his asset is his attitude. I'm 53 and people still ask why do I run when I have a body of an 18yr old. Laziness appalls me, not detemination.
You have the body of an 18 year old because you run. I’m 18 and am trying to build up the discipline to eat less and go to the gym regularly. May as well get in shape and stay in it now when it’s easy.
I ran with the second fastest miler in the world last week ,60/65 age group ,running at under 5:10 pace ,held on for 20 metres
Happy Belated Birthday Lew !!!!!!! You're SUCH an inspiration :)
Que tenga Feliz Cumpleańos Amigo. I am going to have 63 yrs under my belt on May 20th. I run here in the Andes Mts of Peru 6 days a week at an elevation of 3594 meters. It’s a beautiful life. I’ve never do e any competitions to speak of but stay with it.
Yo amo Cusco!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chaski 🍾
Well happy 90th birthday to this guy👏👏👏👍
He looks amazing! He IS amazing!
Hello, have you heard about something called cryptocurrencies
I've loved this man since I was first inspired to start training for my very first triathlon! That was back in 2011, and is one of those landmark moments in my life. I remember it so vividly. Thank you Lew. You're blazing a trail for the rest of us!
Lew Hollander, you are an inspiration, you are a legend!
Wow that's great 90 years old well happy young 90. Keep it up. I'm 49. That's what I've always believed exercise is truly the fountain of youth if you don't use it you're going to lose it. Amen to that. Take care of your body as if we're all going to live forever exercise and physical fitness and take care of our soul as if we're going to die tomorrow. God bless you all. That's wonderful keep it up keep going 🙏☺️🤘
“But I got through it , I finished.” Life.
What a beautiful human being.
This guy is an inspiration, especially you look at all the seniors as young as their 60s, even 50s, who are more or less invalids. He's mentally and physically all there at 90. He's had a long life, and also a good one.
He's done well. What an inspiration.
Looking at 70 in a few months... Nine surgeries for heart and cancer the last couple of year...
Lew - you are a great fire restarter!
Thank You.
Hoping the 2020 Facebook posts are not the last...
“I don’t hurt anywhere I feel good and I think that’s the thing I’m most proud of” 👽
What an inspiration! All the best to you, Lew! It is soo good to see you!
I am 62 I still do 80 to 90 miles on my bike with the odd 120 so Lew you are a great inspiration keep going Buddy
I briefly met Lew at the pool in Santa Cruz. He was in the adjacent lane and kicked my butt. Great man!
Awesome guy. Awesome story. World needs more of this. Old school american stock.
This guys gonna be the first dude to do some crazy feat before anyone else regardless of age. And he has such a smart way of thinking about being an athlete and just doing it. He’s awesome!
What a motivation for everyone!
Inspirational.
Im 65 and still out there killing it..everyday.
Keep you goal just a little out of reach...then go for it... you'll make it
Thank you for being an example for all.....i have been working out all my life ....i count mopping, sweeping, scrubing down bathrooms, cleaning windows, stretching plus workout 2-3× a week.... i do get set backs but its important bit by bit to get back to moving the body.... I am 65 years old and pray that I could exercise until the Lord takes me home.💫😊
you are amazing. I am jealous of you. HEALTH IS THE GREATEST WEALTH.
Sir you are amazing. What an inspiration.
This is one of the best RUclips videos I’ve ever seen. Inspirational for everyone. Everyone should see this.
Physically fit, mentally sharp. Quality life!
90 and does not hurt anywhere. If only I could have avoided knee injuries and ankle twists when playing sports 50 years ago, maybe I could say the same thing. Great attitude and video.
You're an inspiration Lew, keep up the good work!
You are the proof that our body is a wonderful machine,and we can explore all these possibilities.Thank you!
Looks good for 90
Lew, thanks for being who you are, thanks for inspiring us, thanks for being there. Have a long life, with all the quality you want and deserve. Regards from Portugal
