Tony's Story
First and foremost, my family inspired me to attempt this record. My grandchildren and children that I love so much. Also, I want to show that no matter your age, you can achieve what I have. I am 75 years old but still as fit as can be. I would like to motivate other elders to do as I have and show that it is never too late to be fit. All my life, I enjoyed doing sports. 60 years ago, I used to walk on my hands for fun. I stopped and when I was 55 years old, I started to train myself to be healthy by running everyday, doing pushups and doing headstands against a wall. When I realized it was going well. Six years ago, I started doing headstands at home, in the park and in front of my family and friends. One day, my daughter told me you have this skill, why don't you apply to the Guinness World Records title. So, we did.
I chose this skill because I find myself able to do it professionally. It doesn't hurt my body. I feel good when I do it. My routine is I sleep early everyday and wake up early everyday. I run 15-20 minutes to get my coffee. Then I do a headstand everyday followed by 20 push-ups everyday. What helps me the most is I know what I eat, I don't do drugs. I quit smoking 7 years ago, when my granddaughter asked me to. This has helped me do more exercise and not get tired of it.
Being a Guinness World Record Title Holder is very special for me. It means to me and to my family and to the people I train to be healthy and do exercise. It means a lot to me. It's like a big achievement. I choose to attempt a Guinness World Record at 75 years old to help older people be healthy.
