I'm still impressed as hell, but a few of those weren't really pushups.

It looks like to me that she is not going all the way down in her Push Ups and is going half way

Let's keep it in context. The woman is 67 yrs of age. When you hit 67, lets see if you can knock out 30 in perfect form.

I think age is just a number. That's just what I believe. It's all about what kind of shape you are in. I heard about an older guy (forgot how old he is, probably 50's or 60's) that went back to college to finish his last year of elgilibility in football. I know that the older you are, it is harder to stay in shape and improve (you got to do a lot more work to stay in the shape you are in). Also look at Laura Burg... she is still on the USA softball team and is still one of the best 20 softball players in the US.

So? She's only 33. I would think that with proper training and heart, she could keep at it until her 40s, just like Nolan Ryan.
PS: It's spelled Berg.

"June twenty-ninth. I gotta get in shape. Too much sitting has ruined my body. Too much abuse has gone on for too long. From now on there will be 50 pushups each morning, 50 pullups. There will be no more pills, no more bad food, no more destroyers of my body. From now on will be total organization. Every muscle must be tight."

Hell, I'm not even as strong as a 79 year old lady. My grandmother is a lot stronger than I am.

I am impressed, glad to see that some of our seniors are starting to reap the benefits of regular exercise.
