Host_Ryan - One Show team | 16:58 UK time, Tuesday, 20 January 2009

In the second film of his 'How to stay young' series, Michael Mosley met 62 year-old twins Gloria and Gillian. Gloria exercises twice and week and Gillian doesn't. Michael measured how much oxygen they use whilst doing exercise and looked at their dna to assess who is fittest and scientifically 'oldest'.
