Zest for Life is all.
’86-year-old gymnast Johanna Quaas kicks serious ass on the gymnastics floor. Not only is the German woman in fantastic enough shape to rock a leotard, but her physical moves in a floor routine and parallel bars — parallel bars! — should both inspire us and put us all to shame’.
Quaas was a big scene stealer at the 2012 Cottbus World Cup in Cottbus, Germany this month, with a non-competition floor routine that included a handstand forward roll, cartwheel, backward roll and headstand, Examiner.com reports.
She also showed some serious, and seriously impressive skills on the parallel bars, and, in a German interview translated into English at Gymnastike.org, Quaas says she has been performing gymnastics since she was a twentysomething, and that she was also a member of the East German handball champion team.
Watch Quaas in action with her floor routine and amazing parallel bars performance below, then, you know, get up, walk away from your computer and do something:
