AUSTRALIAN WOMAN, 110, STILL GOES TO THE GYM THREE TIMES A WEEK

A woman believed to be Australia’s oldest living person still goes to the gym three times a week. Catherina van der Linden will turn 111 on Saturday. Van der Linden said she’s been able to live for as long as she has because of her active lifestyle. She said she goes to the gym three times a week and goes on walks whenever she can. She sometimes hits the exercise bike for 10 minutes. Her advice: “Keep moving, don’t sit still.”
* Also: “Don’t leave your dentures on the leg machine.”
* Ten minutes on an exercise bike? Where’s the commitment?
* Sometimes, when she’s not feeling the energy, she just drives her rascal scooter right up onto the treadmill for 20 minutes.
* She’s got a lot of incentive to go to the gym. Every morning when she wakes up there’s a skeleton in a cloak standing there asking “You ready yet?”
