I keep saying that I want to be a little old lady in the nursing home doing squats, but your idea is even better.
Would you believe that I spent the first 46 years of my life convinced that I loathed exercise with a passion? I'm still not sure I really like it, but I really like the results.
I read the question and thought why? why would I want to stop? As others have said, hopefully I'll adapt to suit my abilities rather than giving up entirely. For one thing, my only hope of winning races is likely to come when I'm a vet
I want to be that 70 year old who still runs. Maybe not fast, but still out there and still doing it. I can't imagine not being a runner, it's changed my life in so many ways.

I've recently had to change my words. I've always hated exercise. However, I have enjoyed physical activity. I don't mind hiking upstream several miles to find a fishing hole that I like. Well guess what?! That was hiking!
I don't mind (well, I'm beginning to mind) going up to the mountains, driving down 13 miles of unimproved mountain logging road and setting up camp by myself. Guess what?! That's weight lifting! Trust me, pitching a 15 x 11 tent, carrying propane tanks (5 gal), going to get water in a 3 gallon bucket, gathering and splitting firewood plus getting all the other stuff out of the back of the truck is a lot of work! It takes over an hour if I push it. I take breathers now so it takes about 2 hours.
My change of words? I like physical activity! My WATP dvds are physical activity not exercise. If that is what I have to say to myself to stay motivated, I'm doing it.
When I first started exercising, when I was around 28 my mom asked me the exact same question: "When will you stop exercising?" At 28 I told her I would do it till I was 40 at least... I'm 50 now and there is no way in heck I will ever stop exercising, like Meg said, "I will stop when I die!" I actually exercise more hours per day now than I did when I was 30sh because I have more time, the kids are grown, etc...
"Sorry. We can't bring you the program you requested."
Yes, that's our BBC voice! Sorry you couldn't hear it. At the end of the interview, Joy's younger friends all said they wanted to be like Joy when they were her age and be able to go so low and jump so high! They want to be like her when they grow up.
Brilliant! They are all marvellous.
btw, I bumped into one of my gymn friends in the supermarket this morning and he told me he is 75. I had no idea! I thought he might be about 65! He was just killing time before he went to one of his stretch classes....
those pics are AWESOME!! That's ME at that age!!
that lady! If I look anywhere near as good as that at ANY age I will be stoked! 
Can you imagine the looks her grand and greatgrand kids get when they say she's in a lifting competition?
