Six Pack Abs on a 72-Year Old

I'm seventy one (+) and bought both 'Conditioning' and 'Abs' books. I found that while doing Hindu pushups I visualize a needle coming up from the floor while in the up position. To keep from getting painfully stuck, I pull in my abs as hard as I can for a second. I have a sixpack for the first time in my life including when I wrestled in high school and when I went through Marine Corps boot camp at Perris Island.

By the way; after about a month of one day a week squats and pushups I got up to 36 pushups and 200 squats before changing to daily workouts of 15 pushups and 30 squats. To add a little strength I then do 3 sets of single leg half squats and three sets of 8 pullups or chins.
