At 82, the Jump Rope Queen of Beverly Hills Is Still Going

I just feel like I'm in heaven when I jump. I'm floating when I'm jumping. I just love it so much. Actually, you think about it, I've been training all my life. When I was younger, like 11, I loved jumping. When I picked up the rope at 74, I couldn't jump like I used to. But I worked myself up. My jumping skills started getting better and better. And then I had this dream to get in the Guinness World Records. I mean, you know, they say once you dream it, you could do it. In the mornings, I jump rope for five minutes. And then after that, I go outside. It's a beautiful day today, you know. Let's go do some weights. Normally, I work out for one hour with my trainer. We started training together in 2011. What makes her stand out is her motivation and her dedication. And it's amazing that every year she gets better. And every year she adds new things and she adds new challenges. You know, she's like a goalie tipper. So this is my training for my competition. I just like the way it makes me feel when I work out. It's like a celebration to me. I feel like, oh, what am I going to do today? I'm always getting fan mail every day. Oh, this is from Playboy. From one of them. I was so young. Oh, I'm getting ready to set up. Wake up all my followers. Okay, everybody, move your body. I started social media when I first posted my first jumping rope experience. And then I started getting a lot of followers and they started giving me compliments. But I love to post. I think it's good for my mind at my age. I like to edit. I like to do the makeup. I like to put the clothes on. I like to do everything as if you were making a movie. And I feel like that's what I'm doing, you know, like a little mini movie. I'm a friend of Annie. I'm afraid to come next to her because she'll just hand me a jump rope at any time. I have to jump when I come next to her. If you're around her, she won't accept anything than making your life positive. I think joy is so important in your life. I try to spread happiness around people around me. And it's easy, you know. This competition, I'm feeling strong about it. I'm much more fit than I was when I was younger. You know, she doesn't like to do the same thing over and over again. She gets bored. Once she gets something in her mind, she's going to be laser focused. I mean, it's amazing the, you know, degree of dedication, you know, she puts on something. People should think about moving their bodies every day. If you just show up, then after that, you can challenge yourself. I'm doing what I'm here to do. To motivate people to move their bodies and take care of their health. And that's my purpose.
