Overview
- In a dpa interview published Friday, Hallervorden said he does one hour of exercise every morning before breakfast to preserve strength and mobility.
- His routine combines swimming, time on an ergometer, light stretching and a daily walk to cover cardio, muscle work and flexibility.
- He wears a wrist device that tracks measures such as heart-rate variability and sleep and that advises him not to eat or smoke after 22:00.
- After decades as a non-smoker he now has up to five cigarettes in the evening out of collegiality with his wife, and he says he could stop immediately; he also continues to run stages including the Schlosspark Theater, which has opened its 18th season.
- Coverage is consistent on his fitness and public activity but one outlet mentions a recent car accident that is not corroborated elsewhere, and his example highlights how wearables and steady work can shape late-life health choices and public roles.
