SIR VICTOR UWAIFO: “I Do 60 Press-Ups Daily… Even At Age 74”

Although he is 74 years old, legendary musician, Victor Uwaifo looks way younger.

The Joromi crooner has shared the secret of his youthful looks with Saturday Beats.

“It takes discipline to look youthful at an old age. One must be disciplined physically, mentally and spiritually. I have a chapel in my house and that gives me spiritual uplifting. Physically, I have been a body builder for the past 60 years. I used to lift weights at Obalende (Lagos) back in the days. It helped me in my sporting activity because I set a high jump record in Benin and it is unbroken till date. I also try to develop myself mentally. It gives me an advantage over others and it makes me think deeply. I have never smoked cigarette in my life, let alone other drugs.

“Even though women are known to flock around musicians, I do not have children outside my marriage. The women were persistent but I was married to my music. My main preoccupation was my business and I did not want any distractions. Also as a body builder and a sports man, we used to abstain from sex. I still use the gym till date and I lift weights. Every day, I do 60 press-ups,” he said.

Now you know one of the tricks of staying fit.
