Pumped-up pensioner Tony Gore is still pulling his weight at work – as Britain’s oldest personal trainer. The toned 81-year-old great-grandfather puts his health and fitness down to exercise, diet and having a much younger wife. Tony said: “The secret is to keep your mind and body active, too many people just vegetate in front of the television. “I also eat healthily and never have fried food, cake or biscuits. “And I’ve been married three times. My current wife is 20 years younger than me, that helps too.”His three 90-minute gym sessions a week see him sweat through a gruelling regime of bench presses, bicep curls and long stints on the exercise bike. The 5ft 8in former bodybuilder with a 42in chest first got the keep-fit bug at a boys’ club when he was 14 years old. At 18, he joined the RAF as a physical training instructor and after quitting the service went to work on street markets. But he carried on with his training and at the age of 70 qualified to lead gym workouts.Pensioner Tony from Hythe, Kent, who runs hour-long sessions twice a week, said: “I keep the older people moving. "We do stretching exercises to build core strength.” And Tony added: “I certainly don’t know of any older personal trainers.”LIKE our facebook page today and get the latest tips on how to keep fit: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Perzonal-Trainer/492595214099791?ref=hl
