Live Long and Master Aging

Royce Smith - 76-year gym rat’s recipe for longevity


Listen Later

Royce Smith lifts weights with his gym buddies every morning at 5am. Then he goes to work - at one of two companies he runs - and puts in a full day in the office. He competes in obstacle course events like the Spartan Race, has a busy family life and at the age of 76, enjoys the best of health. What is his secret?  In many ways Royce epitomizes a lifestyle that promotes a long health span. In this LLAMA podcast interview with Peter Bowes the California businessman explains how he maintains his rigorous daily routine; why he keeps pushing himself to take part in obstacle course races and how he is inspired to work out alongside younger athletes.  This is the third and final episode in our mini series at Results Fitness, featuring older athletes. 

In this interview we learn about:

  • How a 76-year old works six days a week and maintains a vigorous exercise regime. 
  • Strength training to maintain stamina 
  • How Royce is motivated by his daily routine, rising at 4am to go to the gym.
  • Working hard and playing hard 
  • Developing the right mental attitude to compete in a Spartan Race. 
  • A muti-generational approach: Inspiring younger people to work out hard
  • Delaying retirement.
