The 96-Year-Old’s Secret to Living Life at Full Speed

While many of his 96-year-old peers are spending their days in card rooms waiting for meals, Marty Friedman is out conquering treadmills, golf courses, and life with an energy that would exhaust people half his age. The Florida grandfather has become an internet sensation after sharing his incredibly disciplined daily routine that includes sleeping 9 hours at night plus a 2.5-hour afternoon nap, exercising 4-5 days a week, and dedicating serious time to learning something new every single day. His philosophy is refreshingly simple but powerful: “I’m not here to die, I’m here to live,” he declares, noting that too many of his contemporaries have given up on staying active and engaged.

Marty’s workout routine includes weight lifting with 8-pound weights, mobility exercises, and toe touches to keep his muscles active and maintain flexibility, while his diet focuses on light breakfasts with oatmeal, berries, yogurt, and his favorite superfood grapefruit, which he considers one of the healthiest things you can eat. What makes him truly remarkable is his insatiable curiosity and commitment to continuous learning, whether he’s reading Fortune, Forbes, and Newsweek or discovering fascinating facts like how Elon Musk’s mother is a millionaire model from Canada. His granddaughter’s viral video of his routine has inspired thousands of viewers who are amazed by his mental sharpness and vitality. Marty proves that age is truly just a number when you choose to embrace life with purpose, discipline, and an unshakeable determination to keep growing every single day.
