Jogging

For 100-year-old Roy Englert of Nashville, running is an essential part of his fitness regimen. He says he is living proof that it’s never too late to start, having only started running at age 60, according to health site Best Life .

There's nothing better than learning workout tips from people who have lived for over a century.

The old man shared: The reason why I live long is because I have been very active all my life, I have been a professional runner for 40 years. Doctors all advise me no matter what, just keep going.

Light cardio exercise

Mr. Savino also shared that in addition to lifting weights, he also does cardio for 2 days, cycling 13 km on a treadmill or walking about 3 km on a treadmill.

He said the secret to living to 100 is focusing on an exercise routine. Even when he doesn't feel like it, he still goes to the gym to reap the benefits.

Weight training

Weight training isn't just about building muscle, some centenarians believe it's the key to longevity.

Walk

It's no secret that walking is one of the easiest ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This habit is often reported in people who live to be 100 years old.

Louise Jean Signore, a 112-year-old Italian resident, said that as she got older, she had to cut back on some of her favorite physical activities, such as dancing and cycling. However, she said she always made it a priority to walk every day, sometimes even just a quick stroll down the hallway of her building.
