What if your strongest years came after 70? If you're sitting around thinking my best years are over and it's all downhill from here, then this episode is for you.

Ginny MacColl is an actress, dancer, and American Ninja Warrior competitor who began her athletic journey later in life. After being diagnosed with osteopenia, she turned to strength training and ultimately became a national symbol of what healthy aging can look like. She's the mother of professional stuntwoman and Ninja Warrior Jessie Graff, and continues to inspire women of all ages to stay strong, capable, and courageous.
