Description

I know I’ve asked this before, but what does a 72 year old woman look like? What is she capable of? What are her limitations? Many of us have preconceived notions of what a 72 year old could - or could not - do. When we conjure up images of 72 year olds, we might think of a bespeckled grandmotherly woman in a rocking chair with her knitting on her lap.  Certainly we wouldn't imagine this woman fighting. I mean, like really, actually physically fighting another person. Would we?My guest this week on the Over 50 Health & Wellness podcast is Elaine Beiersdoerfer. Elaine is a 72 year old grandmother of seven, who regularly practices and competes in judo in jujitsu. She's four foot 11 and weighs in at just over a hundred pounds, and to call her spunky would fall woefully short. Join us this week as Elaine discusses how she took up judo and jiujitsu at age 69, and her thoughts on staying mentally and physically sharp as we age.  You can connect with Elaine on Instagram @jiujitsu_grandma.Listen wherever you download podcasts or on my website.
