1. I hear you, Mick's still got it. Ringo tours at 83.

2. He really is a dancer, I'm always amazed at how long dancers live and remain flexible. Thinking of Dick Van Dyke

I can’t even get up off the chair like that anymore

3. God yes, dancing is the best, uses the entire body. Van Dyke is unbelievable, so healthy and a former smoker and drinker.

4. I saw Herb Alpert last winter. He was touring at age 87.

9. My doc on my wellness exam asked me if I could get up easily from the floor

So I got all the way down on my but and rose up without using my hands. She said wow.. I am 75..

10. I am 76, haven't been able to do that since I broke my right kneecap when I was 49.

Good for you!

11. After I do my 3 miles in the morning after 18 hour fast, I try to get in 20 pushups after I have my hard boiled egg.

As I am moving from the last push up, I keep moving the upper part of my body until I am curled up and my chin can touch both kneecaps. I hold that for about 30 seconds and then I can just get up without using my hands. Before I started doing that it was hell for me to get up off the floor.
