Brings even more meaning to the quote; "People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing

[MrBiffo]

Her upper body looks like normal elderly skin but her legs look like she's 15!!

She must be really healthy and happy, and she is with all that excersize and sport, and at that age, it's really clear that her talent is really never ending! That's awesome, wow!

What a great woman!
Sadly, the translation isn't that good, especially after 1:10, when she says:
"Ich ernähre mich gesund, und vielseitig, ich mach' auch keine Diäten, und esse auch nicht zu viel Grünes und zu viel Körner, aber ich fühle mich trotz allem recht wohl."
This means:
" I eat healthy and versatile, I don't do any diets, and I don't eat too much greens and grains, too, but nonetheless i feel quite well."
which is quite different to the translation in the subtitles...
("My secret is a very well rounded, healty diet, I make sure not too eat too much or too little, and I eat plenty of greens!")

The translation doesn't really show what an incredibly nice woman she is. Adorable, inspiring, simply amazing.

[RobertWorthLexus]

young people don't go having preconceived notions about old people anymore. This lady is remarkable.

[Pacten]

She should be an inspiration to all of us seniors.
