You don't have to wait until you are 71 to lift weights Meri you can start now!

Or am I being too concrete?  :P

The general fitness of her body no, but she definitely looks like a black woman at least in her 60s.

That's still some 15 years younger than she is. Granted, as a rule, black women age well, but still. The only thing on her that looks "older" is her neck. That's impressive.

She looks damn good for her age, absolutely.
