Meet Willie Murphy, a 77-year-old power lifter, who is redefining what it means to be fit.

The 105-pound grandmother, who works out three time per week, can deadlift more than 95kg - and, according to The Mirror, can do one-handed and fingertip press-ups.

"They see I'm old and I'm not being pushed around in a wheelchair," she told USA Today. "I can shovel my own snow. And I can push my car if it gets stuck in the snow... I'm almost 80 years old and I am still living life."

Murphy recently won Lifter of the Year at the coveted World Natural Powerlifting Federation 2014 World Championships.

What a woman!
