These 60-And-Older Seniors Will Destroy Your Age Stereotypes
Do you think that life ends at fifty and the fun is over? Do you think that after retirement there are only knitting and soap operas left? Well, looking at these pictures of seniors aging gracefully you'll probably be pleasantly shocked. It turns out, that once you grow old, you have the spare time to actually do what you love, learn new skills, travel, follow your dreams, and become one of the happy people.
If you have your own idea of what does a typical 60-year-old woman look like, you might find that grandma Ruth, who's over 70 and DJ's at a nightclub just denies that. And if you have some thoughts of what does a 60-year-old woman's body looks like, there's Anette, who probably looks even better than you. Then there's Mister Alexander, who's 96 and skis in the Alps while snacking on the best Swiss chocolate, and Pat, who's 81 and frequently skydives.
Still not convinced that growing old is not so bad? Check the photo series created by photographer Vladimir Yakovlev in his Age If Happiness project that will introduce you to many more senior citizens who are rocking their retirement years. Scroll down below to see these interesting photos for yourself!

What I do not understand is the 'senior' age group seems to include everyone from 60 to 110+, what would a 20 year old say if they were included in the 50 year old group?

AWESOME!!!!!! When I am 100 I want my picture there! I am 55 and cant wait for the next 50 years! They folks show all of us what is possible and what we can ALL LOOK FORWARD TO!! xx00
Well, let me say this: Age it is mostly as a mental attitude, also depends a healthy food we eat, our inner harmony and God believing.
I better get started, turn 60 in two days..... Can see age is not an excuse to laid back :-D
This is what a healthy lifestyle can give you. These people are not old, they´re AMAZING!
Fantastic!!! I am not afraid to grow older and these pictures just add to my faith that there is still a lot of fun out there!
So it is true. The only limits that exist are the ones you made up inside your mind. There is nothing that can stop you!! This is great!
