You must have heard that one should never let age act as a deterrent from being fit and healthy. Now an 80-year-old retired IPS officer is inspiring thousands with his rigorous exercise regime. “This is what inspiration looked like today morning. Mr. LC Amarnathan, IPS (Rtd.) is 80 years old,” IPS officer Arun Bothra wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday. Amarnathan is seen doing all kinds of exercises, such as bench press, dumb-bells and ab movements, showcasing his remarkable fitness and strength. This is what inspiration looked like today morning.

Its actual re-tire, tire with workout post retirement,” Harendra K Singh, an IPS officer in Delhi Police, wrote. “Sir, Age is never a barrier to start. In a country like India mediocrity is a norm so when you see examples like this elderly gentleman we think this is an exception. The only place one has to stay permanently is the body, so let us all respect, worship and love it,” another user posted. “I am gonna show this to my Dad who’s 83. Will help me convince him better when I insist he goes for his evening walk,” another user commented. “Quite fit at this age. Really impressive,” yet another netizen complimented.
