This is the heartwarming moment a 102-year-old woman joined in with her great-grandson's online gym class. 

Julia Fulkerson, 102, from Arizona, had been separated from six-year-old Brody Contreras for almost a year as a result of Covid-19 regulations 

So, when they were reunited, Ms Fulkerson couldn't resist getting involved in Brody's online physical education class.

The footage shows Brody and his great-grandmother dancing in the living room of her home in Ajo, about 130 miles west of Tucson, as part of the youngster's gym class. 

Despite her age, Mrs Fulkerson moved around energetically, waving her arms in the air and marching on the spot beside her first-grader great-grandson. 

Angela Groch, Brody's mother, told Wave 3 News: 'I was cracking up and taking video after video, but it was also super surreal, just kind of watching.' 

Ms Groch said she and her husband took Brody 'to spend some quality time' with his great-grandmother after she and her husband had been vaccinated against Covid-19. 

She said: 'This was the first time that we'd been able to really spend some time with them because of the pandemic because we are able to be safe now. 

'It just makes me so happy that it brought so much joy because it did for us, and I knew how special it was.' 

She added: 'We were going to introduce her to Brody's class . but she beat us to it and walked up during PE and just joined in!'

"Great-grandma was like dancing around and doing the PE exercise," Brody said. 

Ms Fulkerson's daughter Kim Contrearas added: 'My mom is just a happy person. She's always been that way. After her stroke, she could have been just a weepy person. Just watching her with him, it made me so happy.'
