At age 80, legendary singer Rod Stewart is not only performing at iconic events like Glastonbury but setting an inspiring standard for fitness in older adults, thanks to a demanding training regimen developed with his longtime personal trainer.

Richard Morgan, a 93-year-old Irishman and four-time world rowing champion, is now at the center of groundbreaking scientific attention for keeping the body of a healthy 40-year-old, defying nearly every assumption about aging. A recent study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology has documented his extraordinary muscular, cardiovascular, and metabolic health—evidence that healthy aging is not simply about genes, but about lifelong habits built on movement and mindful nutrition. Morgan’s story—once a humble baker, now an elite athlete—offers both inspiration and practical lessons for Thai readers as Thailand’s population rapidly ages and questions about longevity, independence, and quality of life reach every corner of society (source).
