The World Masters Games get underway in Sydney today and prove that age is no barrier to being fit and to eing competitive.
Australia has a 101-year old man in the lawn bowls and an incredible 98-year old female swimmer competing against competitors from 104 countries.
For many people, having the goal of competition is what they need to keep them motivated to train hard and stay as fit as they can be. For others, staying fit and healthy is the goal and the fun of competing against other people is just a bonus. Either way the Masters Games are a great event to keep people fit and healthy past 100 years old and to show younger people what can be done with a little sweat and hard work.
If you have a competitive itch that didn’t get scratched when you were young, or you need some added motivation to get out there and stay fit, why not think about competing in the next round of Masters Games in a few years time.
