I stand corrected but still happy. What do you think about that kind of augmentation…and when I said all natural I was speaking about the state of her hormones. Should have included several asterisked references.

CDMarko,
I have nothing but great respect for Elvira’s level of fitness. If I could reach a fraction of the level she’s at, I’d be a happy camper!
Augmentation is such a personal choice, and one I’ve never considered. Bless leg men!

Micki – Thanks. I like the way you think, and that’s a great caption. I worry though that that particular photo may make it seem like an impossible dream.

PS I need captions for the photos on my profile page – I’d appreciate any ideas!

Very attainable. It’s just all attitude and setting goals, and Mrs. Push has plenty of inspiration, I’m sure.
LOL, yep! You’re my new best friend! haha Seriously though, thank you. Between your post, and the great results on my final gym induction today, I’m flying high, and more determined than ever to keep on this path. Like Mrs. Push, I haven’t felt so great in FOREVER!

Gawd, I must be clueless. I couldn’t figure out that photo, because the little red heart was throwing me off. Once I read your post, the penny dropped. Funny!!!
I’ve read a lot of your posts, Yo Mamma, and you seem a really cool gal. Quick on the uptake too!

There are some women who just keep getting sexier and sexier as they age. And I’m saying this as a 28 year old guy.
August 3- 9, 2006
At 86, great-grandmother Morjorie Newlin keeps pumping iron.
by Tasha Ho-Sang
Fourteen years ago, when Morjorie Newlin was 72, her neighborhood supermarket had 50-pound bags of kitty litter on sale. Without anyone to help her carry the bags back to her house, she struggled mightily under the load. Never a particularly athletic woman, but staunchly independent, she decided that she had to do something about her deteriorating physical capabilities.
Though osteoporosis was also on her mind, the septuagenarian began lifting weights ? for her cat.
Built to last:
Built to last: “I want to be as independent as I can be, for as long as I can,” says Newlin.
“I want to be as independent as I can be, for as long as I can,” says Newlin, a great-grandmother and retired nurse who turns 86 tomorrow. “I just want to do things for myself.”
After 13 years of weight training, Newlin is more than taking care of herself. At her two-story home in Mt. Airy, Newlin, who runs up the stairs with the sprightliness of a 10-year-old, has a room dedicated entirely to plaques, certificates and trophies (some almost as tall as her) from bodybuilding competitions that have taken her as far away as Italy, France and Germany.
She’s won more than 40 trophies in her late-blooming career. “There are so many, I don’t know what to do with all of them,” she says.
“I chuckled when I saw this little old lady walk inside the gym,” says Richard Brown, a personal trainer at Rivers Gym in Mt. Airy, where Newlin began her training. “I was a little leery. I was just training young athletes at the time.”
The little old lady quickly showed him what an older athlete could do.
“She kept coming in day after day, week after week, and month after month,” Brown remembers. “She didn’t want to do ‘girly’ workouts. She wanted to train with us fellows.”
“After a few months of training, I looked at her physique and knew she was ready for a [bodybuilding] show,” he continues. “She definitely had something to show.”
Newlin was bench-pressing 65 pounds when she was 73 years old. A year later she was throwing up 85.
The bodybuilding competitions are broken into two divisions. Newlin’s first competition was in the Amateur Athletic Union, which is open to the public.
Newlin recalls being a little reluctant when she saw the string bikini she’d have to wear in front of the bodybuilding audience.
“I knew the contest meant a lot to my trainer so I went along with it,” she says. To everyone’s surprise, Newlin won. The crowd went crazy on hearing she was 74 years old.
Newlin began her competition career in that AAU’s Master’s Division, which splits contestants into two categories: under and over a certain age limit, usually 35 or 45 years old. Newlin obviously fell way over the dividing line, wherever it was set, but was competing and winning against women half her age.
“I was always the oldest in all my competitions,” says Newlin.
The daughter of very active Barbadian immigrants, Newlin admits that athleticism is in her genes: “My family is used to walking and running long distances.”
Although she’s taking a break from bodybuilding competitions for now, Newlin is still training at least three days a week, now at Bally Total Fitness in Cedarbrook, and can still throw down with the best of them. “I could bench-press 90 pounds with a spotter. I can dead lift 95 pounds. I can squat 135 pounds,” says Newlin.
She’s been featured on Oprah and The View, and has appeared in commercials in Barbados. She spends her time out of the gym as a motivational speaker at schools and banquets, discussing the importance of exercise, weight training and dieting. “A lady called me earlier this week from Hawaii,” Newlin says. “She asked questions about how to use weights.”
Though some in her position might wonder how much longer they can keep it up ? or how far they might have come if they’d started earlier ? those questions never cross Newlin’s mind. “Every day is different. The next day will take care of itself,” she says with Zen-like calm.
“Age is only a number,” says Brown. “There is only one Morjorie Newlin. … She could do this for as long as she wants.”
The Mom on the Move Show whith LINDA SWAIN
Morjorie Newlin
Morjorie Newlin is an 84 year old great grandmother, retired nurse after a 45 years, and body building champion to this day.
Transcript From The Show
Linda: You’re 84 years old TODAY, happy birthday! How do you feel?
Morjorie: I feel good!
Linda: (Narration) No, you heard right! Morjorie Newlin, a great grandmother with 4 children of her own, a retired nurse after 45 years and a current body building champion is celebrating her 84th birthday today.
Linda: What do people think when they first see you?
Morjorie: Well, they think that this is not my true age, are you really 84, 83, 79 whatever. I am!
Linda: How did you get started in competing?
Morjorie: Well, I started in '92, I was 72 at the time, we were talking a lot about osteoporosis at the time and I was fascinated anyway with the weights and I figured I would try to find a gym where I can be taught how to use the weights properly.
The man who was training me said, I am having a show and I want you to be in it and I said “ok”. I didn’t know what it meant when he said you need to learn the poses, I asked him to show me the poses
Linda: You didn’t know this was a competition?
Morjorie: No, no, I didn’t know anything about bodybuilding.
Linda: (Narration) Well she knows a thing or two about it now. In her first competition at age 72, she won in the women?s 40 and above category. And, she?s been taking home trophies ever since.
Morjorie: (referring to trophy) This is a sexy one. Yea, this is the one from France from 2001.
Linda: (Narration) Not just in the U.S., in her 80s, Morjorie leaves women half her age empty handed, even overseas.
Morjorie: And I have more trophies in here.
Linda: (Lifting a Trophy) You are a champion! My goodness, you gotta be a body builder for this.
Linda: What do you kids think about their mother being in a body building competition at 84 in a bikini?
Morjorie: Well, everybody approves except my middle daughter. I realized that when the judges call out these poses they have see certain areas and this is the way you have to be dressed, so you just forget it, just blank it out, get out there and do your routine.
Linda: Yu must get some dates! I mean, I am sure guys hit on you now, look at you, you’re gorgeous!
Morjorie: Yeah, they do, but I can’t be bothered, they want you to take care of them and I don’t want anybody parked in my house.
Linda: Tell me about your family?
Morjorie: Well, I have 4 children, one son and 3 daughters, I have 4 grand children and I have 2 Great Grand children, twins, a boy and a girl and my great grandchildren, they have been to the gym with me.
Linda: You get calls from around the world for advice?
Morjorie: Yes I do. My advice is to first of all, I think they need to exercise, find out what kind of exercise you can do and what you like to do, because if you like what you’re doing, you’re more likely to continue doing it, and it’s not all about losing weight, it’s about gaining strength and being able to do what you have to do.
Morjorie: (showing citation) This is an award that I received from the mayor.
Linda: That?s some accomplishment. I bet people ask you all the time, how do you stay so young?
Morjorie: I can?t do anything to be young, I don?t wanna be young. I?ve been young I feel good just the way I am.
