But not everyone believes in accepting this. For many people, life begins only after 60 when they come into the category of being called elders. There are many people in the world who have achieved that position in their old age, which they could not do in their younger age. One of them is Jim Arrington who has the status of being the oldest bodybuilder in the world.

Once he went to a drug store where he saw a poster of a bodybuilding magazine in which two burly young men were seen. Since then he decided that he too would become like him.
Do exercise even at the age of 90
