They say that age is just a number, and many men and women take that proverb as a call to action! After all, there are many benefits to getting older: you tend to sweat less and get less stressed; added to that, in many cultures, plenty of older people have nothing but free time. In other words, they have every reason to take on the world.
We at Bright Side are glad to know it’s never too late to start your life and so we’re celebrating the men and women who take “act your age” with a grain of salt.
1. Greta Pontarelli, 68, is a world pole art masters champion... and she looks great!
