Meet the 72-year-old bodybuilder whose fitness plan keeps him ‘looking 30’

A 72-year-old Chinese bodybuilder has revealed the secrets behind a strict fitness plan that keeps him “looking 30”.

Yang Xinmin has been bodybuilding for 37 years and despite his advanced age, looks in better shape than most 30-year-olds, with his doctor claiming that he has the bone density of a “much younger man”.

He began weight training back in 1984 and hasn’t stopped since.
