Jack Eckenrode emphasizes the importance of daily exercise, stating, "I go out of my way to get on that stationary bike for sure. I try not to miss one day. I feel so much better after I do it." His dedication highlights how even the smallest commitment to fitness can lead to significant improvements in health and well-being.
Research confirms the value of beginning an exercise regimen later in life. A 2023 study published in Preventive Medicine indicated that individuals aged 80 and over who remained physically active tended to live longer than their more sedentary counterparts.
Eckenrode's routine includes both cycling and calisthenics, learned during his time as a pilot. He notes, "My legs never get sore, and my muscles or back never gets sore. I can go on forever," illustrating the importance of diverse and regular exercise.
