That's the question Vivian Hempel posed to one of our Fox 9 photographers recently.  Boy, does this lady have spunk!

One of the best parts of my job is meeting new and interesting people with a story to tell.  Vivian is one of those people.  She is 94-years-young and works out 2-3 times a week at Curves in St. Paul.  This lively lady skiied until she was 88, rides a bike, dances and is a pro on the hula hoop.

In an age when waistlines are expanding, and that walk from the couch to the fridge is considered physical activity, Vivian is an inspiration.  She credits her longevity to a healthy diet, full of fresh fruits and veggies, and an active lifestyle.  She must be doing something right.

We've posted our story on Vivian at myfox9.com.  Just type in "Vivian" into the search box.  It's good for a chuckle, and a few words of advice from this neat lady.  Our Health Page is also a great place to "stay connected" to the latest in health news 24/7.  Have fun and be healthy.
