It may be time to go to the gym because 94-year-old Edith Traina is outdoing most of us.
Traina started powerlifting at age 91 and has since become hooked by the competition, WTVT reports.
"(My friend) dragged me kicking and screaming to the gym, and I figured I'd keep her happy for a while and get her off my back, but I got hooked," she told WTVT.
Since starting her training, Traina has competed in more than a dozen competitions and is the only person in her age group.
"With this I just walk up lift it put it down. I get all this applause, great for the ego," she said.
Traina hopes that her work will inspire others to try something new. Next on the docket? Setting a personal lift record for her 100th birthday.
"I'm looking forward to doing at least 200 pounds by the time I'm 100 so I can celebrate my centennial," she said.
