Tom Hafey : 75 and still going strong

Tom HafeyTom Hafey is an amazing man. In the 1950s he played Aussie Rules Football for Richmond; for much of the next three decades he coached Richmond, Geelong, Collingwood and Sydney. To say he kept fit during this time is an understatement.

Now in his mid-seventies, Hafey still follows a serious workout plan. To give you an idea, here’s a snippet from his daily routine :

In addition to that, he heads to the gym 3 or 4 days per week for the throwing around of the iron. Modest weights, but always taken to failure.

Inspired? Head over to Craig Harper’s site for a great audio interview [.mp3, 14mb] with Hafey. Incredible.
