You are not even 40 but you think that your life is over? You don’t even have the energy to make it through the day?

Well, after watching this video your thoughts about being old may change

Meet Johanna Quaas, this 86-year-old German beauty isn’t taking old age lying down. Instead, she’s taking it spinning, jumping, back flipping and twirling.

In January Quaas wowed the audience at the 2012 Cottbus World Cup in Cottbus, Germany, according to the Post Chronicle. Clad in a green leotard, she performed exhibition displays on both the floor and parallel bars.

Though the white-haired wonder has won 11 medals in senior gymnastic competitions,MSNBC reported, she currently practices gymnastics “just for fun.”

It should be no surprise that this German octogenarian has a long history of athletic excellence. In 1954, Quaas was a member of the handball team that took the Eastern German Championship.
