Don't let anyone tell you that that getting older means you need to be confined to the sofa, watching infomercials and snacking on prunes all day.
These senior citizens are proof that age ain't nothing but a number. In fact, these grandmas and grandpas may even be more active than you. Do you play hockey or do insane yoga headstands? Well, they do.
