Rowing To Beauty

I was watching an interview with an older Japanese actress, who was aging gracefully. They asked what her secret was. She said she does a certain exercise everyday. Lo and behold, she stood up and started doing the "rowing" exercise! I know that Ueshiba incorporated many ki-type exercises into his warmups but it was interesting to see someone outside of the aikido circle doing it (of course, for all I know, she is a hachidan somewhere).
