Surprisingly, she wasn’t exactly a fitness freak in her youth and didn't even like physical exercise. She actually began working out at the age of 56 along with her sister and soon started taking part in sports competitions. It was in 2010, when she finally got her name into the Guinness World Records Book as the oldest female body builder.
