A little morning inspiration for you. Five foot tall, 100 lb, ex-gymnast becomes the first woman to complete the grueling American Ninja Warrior final course.

Are you exhausted just from watching that? Trust me, you're are not alone.

I was a one time a huge fan of the original Ninja Warrior broadcast from Japan, and shown regularly on G4TV.

When I first started watching it in early 2000 I thought "Oh hell yeah I can still do that stuff" as I am an ex-gymnast and martial artist who prides myself on my strength and agility, and clearly may be a bit too arrogant for my own good.

However when I watch it today, or the American version of it, I think "What in the hell was I thinking, that looks impossible!" Let's face it there is a hell of a lot of difference between your abilities at 40 and your abilities at 54.

I have never real been a fan of the American version, and so it was kind of bizarre that I happened to turn it on just as this amazing young lady started her attempt.

And I was blown away!

I have long said that the strongest, most versatile athletes in the world are gymnasts and this young lady proved my point.

Damn it almost makes me wish I would have tried to compete back when I wouldn't have hit the water three steps in.

Now if you will excuse me I have to go workout.
