You're Just Like a Lawnmower

It's getting easier and easier to find fitness role models for those of us over 40 who are trying to stay fit. Today's L.A. Times has a great story about people in their 50s, 60s and beyond who continue to work out.

Bill Bell, who still does triathlons in his 80s, tells the Times, "My advice to anyone is simple. Keep moving. I call it the 'lawnmower theory.' If you leave a lawnmower out on the grass and it rains, you better get out and push that thing before it gets rusty. I'm creaky and rusty every day when I get up in the morning, but after I get moving, I feel pretty damn good."
