At 102 years old, gives fitness classes four days a week: 'When I get old, I'll stop"

Jean Bailey is 102 years old and teaches fitness four times a week. She does this at the Elk Ridge Village Senior Living nursing home, in Omaha, USA, and all of her students (there are usually ten) are her classmates from the center.

Bailey has been doing it for three years and has no plans on stopping. "When I get old I will stop," she ironically told Washington Post.

At Elk Ridge, residents can participate in many different physical activities, and their classes are just one of the many offered.

Residence authorities say that everyone prefers her because of her "extraordinary" outlook on life.
