My grandmother who died at 103 walked five to six miles a day, cooked her own food, looked after her chickens and cared for her 101 year old husband. She died of a broken heart a couple of weeks after he died. None of them was sick or in hospital. They exercised, ate well, enjoyed the sun and their peace of mind. Look after your nutrition, exercise well, and you'll be fine.
That's inspiring! thank you
That is a great history!!!!, I love it!!!!
That’s fantastic. They both got to surpass 100 as a couple.
THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL LOVE
STORY,
TWO PEOPLE THAT LOVE EACH OTHER FOR ALL SO MANY YEARS MUST UNDOUBTEDLY BE RE UNITED BY GOD IN PARADISE,
GOD BLESS THEM
What did she eat most ?
I am 56 and I can do all of those. I was hoping that I can continue to do these exercises when I'm much older. It's so inspiring to see someone who has continued to exercise to this level.
Same. It took me a year, but I’m doing the splits again, lol 😂
That's great, i can do the first and the 3rd, but the second one which she was kinda floating her body in a pushup position, i can't do that, awesome if you can 👍
My uncle was always a daily walker as a younger man, but never was a super athlete. He used to smoke, but quit 30 years ago. He had a double bypass about ten years ago. He’s now 89, works out for two hours, five days a week at a gym!! He was recently widowed and said he just had to keep busy during the pandemic. I’m in my fifties, and I’m so inspired by him! He’s feeling better all the time as he keeps it up. Wow.😄☺️. Isn’t that nice to hear? We can control so much by never giving up. I used to dance several hours daily, after work. I currently have chronic illness for 30 years, but am aiming to get better and dance, bike and so much more, again! We can all do better for ourselves with just a little more love to ourselves everyday! Don’t ever give up. We can all do it!!!😃🥰
Heck yeah keep at it. I had a dance professor that was about 76 and incredibly limber.
@@alexrader5822 👍😀I love knowing there’s hope!
And the best thing is that she started learning yoga at the age of 85. It's her attitude and approach towards life😍🥰... Love you granny... When I grow old I just wanna be like you ..... Happy and ever smiling 😅🥰
her mind is so sharp - I'm impressed!
Look up Nathaniel Hines, just turned 100 and goes to the gym
Healthy body healthy mind and vice versa
Plus, let it go.
Don’t hold grudges.
Just enjoy life.
I used to do yoga with Phyllis, she's awesome! Love that we're celebrating age with this amazing woman. 🧡
My relatives in their 90's who are still mentally and physically fit all tell me the exact same thing. Keep moving! Stay active!
We don't have to do the exact same thing as this lady such as dance and yoga, we just need something to do that helps us keep moving our body.
You are an inspiration to us younger guys 👦 I turn 70 in June god bless and greeting from Canada 🇨🇦 ♥
She is an inspiration and doing what you love is so vital for your life. She's slim, she moves in different positions , dancing and yoga and her youthful attitude. I write books on health and move everyday and love it. I'm approaching 80 and will continue to move! Thank you Phyliss how you inspire others. Bless you!
you go rock ms kali!
She is in better condition than me!! Inspiring ♥️
She’s in better condition than a lot of us!
"you've got to LOVE what you do" and everyone is clapping, but no one is actually loving what they're doing... y'all need to stop praising each other for saying things that resonate with your truth and start acting on them, because it's a lot of work and practice to truly love something geniunely, it doesn't just happen one day, and she didn't say I woke up one day and loevd what I was doing, she said she was a dancer for 50 years !! then took a break and then picked it up again and now at 96 she's saying "love what you do !" and I believe her, you have to love something that much to be bothered to do anything at that age !! even the fittest people eventually do just give up and let themselves go because forcing yourself to do stuff won't last you very long ! so you need to learn how to love doing what you're doing if you want to keep doing it ! so simple, yet so obviously that we specifically forget to practice exactly this part and end up giving up and then finding a million excuses for it .But the glue just faded away because we didn't invest in our love and appreciation and gratitude for what we're doing . We might say " I stopped loving this", even though rarely are people that honest, but no one would ever say "I've decided to stop loving dancing!" even though they kinda did..
I literally had no words!!! She's amazing!!! Love her!!!😍
Always doing yoga because it keeps me fits hello how are you doing?
I just started doing pilates and yoga. Because I was recovering from a deep vein thrombosis. (Dvt). I need to focus on my balance and flexibility. Lifting weights for 30 plus years I decided to change how I train and I discovered something new and I love it. Seeing this beauty inspired me to keep going. ThankYou for sharing. Namaste 🤗🤗🤗
Wow this lady is my new inspiration in my journey back to health!
She's great, but lets be clear on one thing. She was a trained dancer. This makes huge difference in what she can do, and what you cant.
True
Agree. It's inspiring and awesome but the life long fitness and suppleness does help. Yoga is incredible though and can help for many things
But don't need to be a trained dancer to do the moves she did. But it's what you believe you can do.
I’m 61 and my wife and I follow a plant based diet plus HIIT classes three times a week and daily walks 3miles plus every day. Guess what we look younger and have more energy than our peer group. It all comes down to seeing the evidence and acting the evidence. We walk the talk.
That is amazing!
Fantastic x
All the best
since what age did you start this lifestyle?
@@ivonchristy437 when we turned 50.
This guy is so awesome and kind I love the gentleness and respect he treats the elderly lady. So nice to watch!!
She’s amazing and inspirational. I think he’s probably in awe of her
She's gorgeous.
Yoga is life changing.
If you want to feel better, do yoga.
I promise you profound changes.
❤
Not only is it life changing. I believe it is also lifesaving.
@@goanna83 absolutely. 💥
Ananda yoga? Or what kind of yoga, for a beginner?
@@goanna83 and there are also many inquiries, even with practiced yoga teachers. They did an article in a magazine where they interviewed some doctors on the subject - so one should be very careful when doing yoga!!
You are absolutely right , namaste 🙏
She Is An Awesome 96 Years Young. She Inspired Me To Do Yoga Everyday.
So inspirational. I'm sitting her feeling sorry for myself at 58. I need to try harder and not give up.
You should try counseling to find out why you’ve stopped feeling motivated to stay active & healthy.
It happened to me at 40. We all go through stuff. But we can make it out of the funk! Talk to friends and get together for walks. 🫂 hope this helps you.
She's just AMAZING. 🤸🏼♂️🤩 May God bless her with many more!!! 💫✨
Always love yoga it keeps me fits hello how are you doing?
Phyllis Sues is wonderful. Her example motivates me to keep working out.
Plow pose is incredibly challenging to do correctly and she nailed it
It's actually an easy one in my opinion, very restful.
@@loveydovey89 I’m a 52 y o man & I can do plow pose but I’ve never seen the peacock pose. I’ll have to try it sometime.
This first pose she showed really is a comfort zone. I do it every day and can stay there for hours. It feels so good 🙌🏻
I love you. You inspire and encourage me to continue my yoga and dance🌹😘
Im downloading the video so i could show it to mama. What an inspiration. Love you grandma
Really amazing and inspiring! Applause for you! The world is a brighter place because of you.
Discipline is what this lady has. She doesn't need inspiration from anyone.
I love when she sits on his leg. So sweet. She’s a fabulous role model.
I hated that. It's requesting touch without consent.
@@wellygirl07 are you from Abha ? Or South
@@wellygirl07 🙄🙄
@@wellygirl07 he opened the door by getting down to her level and they embraced the moment with each other. It's clear by their body language. If you don't like it, you don't do it. It's a mutual respect of reading others.
I am so honoured that I visited RUclips and I felt very fortunate to 96 years old watch her doing plow, split and Peacock. Im 48 n started yoga 4.5 years now and for Peacock I needed a strap to make my arms more stronger. Thanks for this inspiring share. I looked at her how smoothly Peacock pose she did I'll try that technique thanks. Thanks again for all healthy facts and these we can apply to ourselves at home today to beat the pandemic. BIG BIG THUMBS UP.
Wonderful vid.
As a PT who worked with several middle aged women ,constantly saying they're too old or they can't /don't have the energy...this is a true testament of all the aforementioned are excuses.
Life is movement. Clearly Phyllis understood that.
Bravo 👏👏
I've just started yoga. I'm inspired.
I have to acknowledge and admire this woman 👏👏👏👏
Dear Phyllis, You are inspiring me with your life, your confidence and your love of life! You are proof that what matters is how we approach our lives. Thank you so much, best wishes always!
It turns out she passed away two years ago. Very inspiring. It’s weird though how humans seem to have a time limit about the same. She lived longer than most and super active, you would think she had 10 to 20 years left though. But as we approach 100, even the healthiest and strongest seem to reach the limit. Reaching 110 is 1 in over 100 million , literally. So this woman is amazing but it seems we all play our part, take a bow, and then exist the stage.
Love it! She's beautiful and skillful, and Dr. Travis is really tall!
I'm 82+ and about 5 years ago I sat down in my recliner and I have hardly moved. I know I'm killing myself. One morning, after a shower without thinking, I got down on my knees to scrub out the tub. Then I realized I wasn't going to get back on my feet. So stark-naked I had to crawl and butt-scoot into the living room and pull myself up on my recliner. I didn't have the muscle strength to get back on my feet. Have I done anything to rectify that? Of course not. I think I will watch this video every morning for inspiration. We don't wear out we rust out.
Unfortunately not being active causes muscle atrophy and brittle bones.
At a certain point it's no pain, no gain, and one must accept that pain is inevitable. Don't reach for being fit or feeling good; do it because you have to.
Walk it out or sit it out.
Absolutely amazing.Hats off to this lady, and thank you for the inspiration.
Beautiful lady and how amazing what those moves and stretches !!!! Congratulations to her!!!
First of all, this woman is beautiful! Secondly…she incredibly inspiring!
I'm at awe!! What an inspiration.
Respect I'm 71 You rock !!!! I will work on my Yoga poses I teach Yoga and you inspired me to do more for my students
This episode is two years old. She died a year after this. Still very inspiring.
still a great life.
Great motivation for today God Bless
I guess it's not too late...I'm in my 60's! Phyllis is so awesome at 96 y.o.! Unbelievable!!! Love her, she's adorable.👏❤️😘💗
It's only too late when we're dead.
She is honestly so inspiring I can relate to her in so many levels and I am 23! I hope that I age as beautifully as she does and I love her spirit too!
Its all about positivity that you can still do and still loving it...
Thanks very inspiring, I force myself to do 15 to 20 minutes/day of stationery walking daily but now I realize I should incorporate yoga as it is relaxing, again Phyllis you are so agile and again you are a magnificent human being!
I am doing these yoga postures as part of my meditation routine and I can tell you they are not easy to do if you do not practice daily. They are not that difficulty to do but take a lot of time to master. Regularity is the keyword. She called it hard work.
Yes, yoga changed my body for the better. I salute you!
She is amazing ...she has inspired me 100% much appreciated much love from Ireland
Wow. Amazed how fit you are at age 96😍 she look so youthful for age too. I love you grandma. You’re amazing. ❤️❤️
She is less a grandma than anybody else who is posting here. This is for sure. She is just TIMELESS
I remember doing the Plow move as a kid and young adult. I loved it too !!!! 😁👍
Who the heep dislikes this sweet old Lady doing extraordinary yoga poses????
Beautiful in the younger photos, just as beautiful today! ❤️
I am going to show my mom this video. My mom has some physical problems but she would love seeing this woman
She’s gorgeous!!!
I love how the dr embrace her at the end she is a strong woman indeed
This lady is unbelievable! She is just amazing!❤
This YOUNG lady is my hero!!!
Thanks The Doctors For All Your Educational Videos.
Wonderful guest and role model...Thank you for the video.
She so precious and tiny. Gives me hope to keep going.
Totally love the leg warmers🥰
Gosh! Amazing. Phyllis has proved. Be active in mind as well as motivation and like who you are. A little exercise daily keeps a person from being inactive or sorry for ourselves e.g.just sitting watching tv and eating or whatever is going through our minds. Thank you for sharing an example of changing one's mindset regardless of age. Peace and prayers. 👌💐
What an amazing woman. Good job!! Very inspiring😍
Beautiful Sue! You are such an inspiration to us.. yes, like you said, if you can we can!
Thank you!
Much love to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
¡¡¡A-LU-CI-NAN-TEEEE el ejemplo en vida de esta dama, por favorrrr!!! ¡¡¡Y cuán bella era de jovencita!!! ¡¡¡Aplausos de pie!!!
That is so wonderful !! God Bless her ! Keep it up !
She looks amazing - and what she says, "You gotta' love what you do." is critical. Did she have any 'work' done on her face?
Amazing woman very flexible, I had been doing for a year now & it really does the body great & feels energetic 👏👏
She is utterly amazing. One thing I will disagree with is that you don't have to love what you do. Our entire lives are filled with doing things we don't love doing, but we do regardless because they need to get done. What you do have to love is yourself, your health and your fitness enough to do them despite maybe not loving doing what is required to achieving them optimally. I've trained in the gym for 45 of my 58 years and have learned that even though I love working out there are MANY days I don't love it. It hurts and it is tiring and I am tired going in often times. I do it despite my feelings because I love being fit more than I do being unfit. If we only engaged in activities we loved, then most of us would never engage. Nonetheless, this woman is a marvel to behold. I hope I'm still upright at 96.
This lady has the right mindset! Sooo motivating and inspiring! She also has no wrinkles! We need to find out that secret as well?!
What a wonderful lady... very few like her.
Phyllis is fricking amazing! And Dr. Travis is a hunk of man, that's all I can say. Damn!!
Such adorable, wonderful, inspiring lady. I wish her many more beautiful years ahead 🙏❤
Good for her! Young at heart, youthful outlook and active. A recipe for success.
I’m only 36 and and I can’t even touch my toes...
I couldn't either, until after I started yoga. Today I'm a yoga instructor. That's how much of a difference it made to me.
38. I was bedridden still at 36. I started with Alexander technique, then qi gong and yoga. Ive corrected the alignment of my bones and grown 2 inches. I couldnt lift my right arm above my head straight. i was in constant pain from poor posture my whole life too.
I have not been this flexible and painfree since i was 22ish.
My nan did a bit of part time yoga intruction. in her 90s, she needs no aids within the house. Its never too late to reap the benefits
@@kimwarburton8490 Totally agree! It made me so happy to read your story. :D I have shared yoga with an elderly family member. We practice regularly together and she was born in 1935. It's been 6 months now. She can keep her hands over her head now no need for a cane, in or out of the house. She can touch the ground in forward fold with her palms flat on the ground and loves the warrior 1 and 2 poses now after hating them the first two months. Her stamina and breathing are so much better so now every day she can walk around the block without an effort. She has regained interest in other things too. Part of that may be because of something sjhje described to me: "it removed the veil of confusion and frustration" from her.
So now she learned how to operate her computer, the web browser, email, spreadsheets, email and has taken on an interest in streaming media.
After our yoga sessions she has asked me to install Netscape, RUclips, Hulu and Crackle. She points to articles she has read about streaming media and about yoga and wait for it: She tells me when _my_ posture is off!! lol So, something must be working!!
Oh, also, she can get up and down from the floor without problems too, so there will be no need for that "I can't get up" device. lol
To me this is beautiful! She seems very grateful of this too now too.
@@fanfare100 such fast progress! amazing! thankyou for sharing this. Im familiar with that 'veil of confusion and frustration' Its often called 'brainfog' to me its like english was as strenuous as a foreign language, my cognitions were so bad, i couldnt form sentences XD The 1st descriptor is you feel as if you are putting as much mental effort into the instinctive stuff as if you were while driving through fog vrs a sunny clear day.
Anti-inflammatory paleo diet in keto macros did me the world of good. stopped me being bedridden.
I imagine her lymph system n brain is cleaning out the waste products better, that shes getting better quality of sleep too. Its amazing what small steps done consistently over time can compound n bring forth some beautiful rewards.
Whats most teling is that shes no longer avoiding the 'new' technologies. my nan is. shes given a few half-hearted attempts, but she doesnt practice, so she forgets by our next visit. weekly was the most frequent we could physicaly share space to teach her pre covid XD
@@kimwarburton8490 You describe it very well. We practice weekly but she resisted terribly for 3 years. She even once ordered me to never mention it. But one day when she was visibly going down hill she asked me in frustration if she could do anything about it and that's when she decided to give it a try. She met it with quite some scepticism at first but became more amenable once she started to see undeniable results.
She had gotten to the point where she had lost interest in a lot of things but now she is inquisitive once more and back at reading books and pursuing new things. That's always a good sign. Now hat she's gotten her shots she wants to go to the farmer's market once more and take walks outdoors and in nature. She's become more inquisitive and dresses as though she cares once more. It's been quite the transformation. I do believe, like you said, her toxins are at a better level and her cardiovascular system is improving. And, like you said, she is indeed getting better quality sleep. She said that before she used to just lie there staring at the ceiling and worry but now she is much calmer. Oh, and, lol, she doesn't give me as much guff about new challenging flows or poses because she remembers how she used to give me guff a few months ago and now she's fine with those. lol It truly makes a world of a difference. It's as though we're turning back the hands o time. That sparkle and her ability to crack a quick joke is back. Gotta love it! I incorporate lots of balance poses which have greatly improved coordination, but also stuff like decisioning and planning. I can't say enough.
Simply great as Person and great example for a best way of Life.
God bless her for continuing her journey and not giving up 1 must remember she has been dancing her entire life so her flexibility isn't you mental compared to most of us, however you can achieve anything with time it's just my over matter she such an inspiration I think I'm gonna start doing yoga
Totally inspiring...what a credit to your philosophy. ..love what you do! You can see that. ..thank you
No matter what age. Huge inspiration tho ❤️🙏🏼
She is so cute!!
This brought tears to my eyes!! Here I thought Takishima Mika, the 91-year-old, was the only nonagenarian out there wowing the world and crushing it - They're out there, folks and they're the reason people need to begin putting meaning and value into their lives!!!
Phyllis Sues passed away in 2021 at 98 years old. She was an amazing woman and super fit.
