My wife's grandfather was a college gymnast in his youth and even in his 80s, he could stand next to a kitchen counter with his palms flat on the counter and slowly raise and hold his body completely horizontal. He also still did handstands by bending over and slowly raising his body to vertical without using momentum.
The funny thing is, he looked like anybody's flabby old grandpa.
