Sorry if this is a repost - this was my first time seeing it. I was just really blown away by her attitude and commitment to fitness. I agree, there is something very captivating and moving in the way that she speaks.Originally Posted by drudixon

Thanks for the post. I've never seen it and it is very inspiring. I could read stuff like this all day.
It's much better than seeing the "formula" tabloid news/shock journalism that is spit out every day.
My hat's off to people like this lady. Good for her!I'm going to take the Sc0liosis curve out of my back and eliminate my nerve pain

I've seen this before, but it's always worth viewing again. Terrific person and even more terrific attitude. Beautiful skin tone for someone her age, much more youthful than a person would expect from someone that age. Teaches a simple but important lesson. Wonderful voice...I could listen to her speak all day and never tire of it.

Great post thanks for sharing.
2012 was a year of on and off training due to miss-hap's. I had broken ribs,pulled something under my shoulder blade. Then had a total hip replacement. Got soft around the edges. Now time for a comeback. 1st year in. So far things are going great!!
April 11th 2014 double bypass surgery. So another set back grrrrrr.

She is fantastic. Thanks for the vid. I have my own inspiration around me all the time in my Dutchess who is also really dedicated and doing fantastic. Here are some of the Youtube vids I posted before.

Come on Dutch, tell the truth... she's 39 1/2 in those videos isn't she?Originally Posted by Dutchman
hahaha
I think it's very good to be able to sustain the weight bearing exercises (like) squats especially for women. Helps to combat osteoporosis.
Good luck to both of you!I'm going to take the Sc0liosis curve out of my back and eliminate my nerve pain

I wish I could show this to every wheatgrass juicing, vegan, yoga mat worshipper I know who really thinks that meat and weights are the devil, and ask them if they'd like to look like her. No, not when they are 77 years old. Look like her now. Because she has a better body than some folks half her age.
