The British singer Rod Stewart 80, is training to beat her own record in the 100 meters. The rock icon has revealed that it began to practice the sport on a private track in your home to stay fit, but now I would like to overcome the brand in the distance in its age group.
“I managed to download [o tempo] For 19 seconds when learning how to make the right drive. Now I want to try to do it in 17 seconds, which I think is a world record for someone of 80 years, ”he joked in an interview with Aarp magazine.
Rod said he believed that good physical form is the result of an active life and a lot of discipline in his training routine. In addition to the race, he bets on unconventional pool activities and does not think about slowing down.
“I stay very fit. I played football all my life; not so much now, because I had a knee surgery. And I’ve always had a personal trainer, the same 38 years ago. I have a covered pool, a giant gym, a golf course, everything. We do a lot of underwater training, where the coach throws a brick in the pool and I have to dive, push the brick to the end of the pool.”
The artist added that swimming helps him to preserve his voice, a tip that would have received directly from the late singer Frank Sinatra.
“Frank Sinatra once told me, ‘Rod, the secret to being a great singer is to have strong lungs. Make a lot of underwater swimming, holding her breath.”
Rod admitted to being upset when the press questions his energy on stage.
“Critics say, ‘Rod it was great, but I had to take a break.’ That makes me crazy! When I do shows, change of costumes, especially because I like to show off, but also because I transpite a lot. It’s not rest. Taylor Swift gets off the stage ten times, but nobody says it because she’s young.”
