For years, Singaporeans Ng Bee Kia, 77, Ngai Hin Kwok, 73, and Victor Chan, 70, have made it a point to get together a few times a month to exercise and try new workout routines. Wanting to inspire other old people to get healthy, they called themselves Team Strong Silvers and began sharing their exercise videos on Facebook in Oct.
They had collaborated to great success in comedies such as
Fight Back To School (1991) and
Justice, My Foot! (1992) but had not worked together since
