Skipping your workout today. This could change your mind. Yep. A Mesa World War
two veteran turned 100 today and he celebrated by hitting the gym. This is
what keeps him rolling. Daniel Miller has a story. This is extra exciting for
myself because I was here a few years ago for Dave Kiki's 97th birthday and
now I'm here. We should make this a tradition here, Dave. I'm here for his
100th birthday. And this is so cool. And he's still, of course, working out
97th birthday. He was lifting some weights, doing some laps. And now Dave
plans to ride an hour on the bike, which I don't even think I can do. Dave,
first and foremost, happy birthday. Thank you so much. Yes. How do you feel
here? 100 years old. That is such an accomplishment. Well, I feel at home
here because I joined the fitness center in 2000 and seven. So I've been
coming here a lot of years and it's just comfortable for me. But this is
lovely the way it is now. It's just so nice and so clean. And you've done a
nice job. What do you credit for the longevity?
It's possible. It's actually possible for almost every human being nowadays
to become 100 years old if they would just follow guidelines of living. For
instance, no alcohol, no smoking, no drugs and keep your life simple, eat
the right foods. And here you are. And here you are. You made it, Dave.
Congratulations. This is a big birthday. Let's all sing. Happy birthday. Here we
go. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Dave. Happy birthday to
you. Happy birthday, Dave. You got what do you got about? What is it? 50
minutes left. We'll see you in 50. We'll see you next year, Dave.
