There was a really good article in the NY Times I read several months ago. Basically it has scientifically been proven that you're "as old as you feel". A lot of the elderly people who "let themselves go" just stopped trying, stopped being active, and their bodies just atrophied for it. I mean hell, when there are 80 year old who are running marathons and benching 320 and I'm 28 and can't do either of those things it tells you that you can stay physically active and improve despite your age.
