Interesting programme on BBC3 and you can also watch the repeats on the BBC iPlayer too. 2 young women and 2 young men from Great Britain head over to different parts of America to compete against some 'Golden Oldies'!
The Brits are aged between 18 and 22 years old and at the beginning of the week perform some physical tests to get their 'fitness age' which in most cases is pretty shocking. The youngsters spend most of their time at home smoking, drinking, clubbing, sleeping through the day, eating rubbish and not exercising.
Worst one we've seen so far is an 18 year old girl with a fitness age of 75!!!
They spend a week with some fit old Americans who get them up early every day to walk, jog, cycle, swim, kayak, go to the gym and eat healthy etc then at the end of the week they compete against 2 American women and 2 American men aged between 65 and 80 years old!
We've seen 4/6 episodes so far and it's 3-1 to the Americans which is pretty embarrassing :(
It's a good eye opener and shows that for most people who don't exercise at least 3 times a week that their 'fitness age' will in most cases be higher then their real age which could cause them problems in the future.
One American guy (66 years old) said a good quote and a rule that he lives by every day "Winners Never Quit, Quitters Never Win!".
