Doctors: How older is too prehistoric (to be physically fit)?

There's a guy who comes into our weight room, he's 69 and until you notice the wrinkles in his facial features, his physique looks close to that of a 30 year old. He can put four 45 pound plates on the bar...and that's just warm up. Then I'll see him do cardio and last as long if not longer than some of the college women in in attendance.

Question is, how do these guys do it? I know it's got to be linked to super-healthy lifestyles. We try to ask him and all he does is grin and say he'll be doing it 'till he's 200...but when you get that old don't your joints and bones features of wear out? He's never had a heart attack or any surgeries.... part of it has to be inheritance too.

I'd really like to be like him when I'm his age. So far all I can integer is to eat right, rest right, and exercise right. If anyone knows some of the other secrets of these super elder dynamos....I'm adjectives ears!!
