Meet an “Amazing” Who’s The Poster Child for “Happy, Healthy”

Dr. Lois Kirn, at 80, can't imagine retiring.

Dr. Lois Kirn, at 80, not only does jumping jacks, the plank, squats, and runs five miles every day -- she out-jumps, out-planks, out-squats and out-runs her students in their teens. Indeed, Lois is the physical education teacher at Miami's New World School of the Arts, and has been for the past 32 years. She can’t imagine retirement because her favorite thing is to watch her students go from sedentary to active, as they benefit from every bit of physical improvement. Her passion and energy are contagious. Just look at that smile!
