An athletic 82-year-old

January 3rd, 2009 by James

A video clip from Asahi TV showing a very athletic 82-year-old woman in Okinawa:


She has continued the daily exercise routine shown in the video for 40 years now, and her goal is to remain healthy and live until she is 125.

Maybe she should hire an instructor to tell her how she could improve her pushu-ps, then she could live to 130. ;)

Still, quite impressive, my grannie is in her 60s and talking slow walks in the park is the only real exercise she can manage.

God, I just wish my kids were half that athletic! I love this woman — she’s my new role model.

Unfortunately, the younger generations of Okinawans are bombarded with McDonalds and other American fast-food joints
