Local man Mike Howard will be celebrating his 73rd birthday in the new year. He has always been passionate about his weight training, but his real love for it began in his early 40s. But this year he has stepped it up to another level - and he's done it for a reason.
Mike has linked up with trainer Justin Shepherd at Definition Body Coaching in Nether Poppleton, with the aim of attending an annual photoshoot the firm hosts.
Mike and Justin have worked together on and off for 18 years, so this year Justin challenged Mike to take part in Definition's photoshoot. Many of the clients at the personal training studio attended the day this year.
