Old-aged people, especially near centenarians, are usually anticipated to be bedridden or afflicted with some type of disease, but some individuals break the glass ceiling and go beyond what would be expected of an ordinary person in their 90s.One such example is set up by a grandfather lovingly called Nonno by the influencer- granddaughter, that will compel you to “watch this and rethink your life”. No dance, no product, no gimmick. Just a 95-year-old man and a routine he clearly takes seriously.

Meet the 95-year-old Nonno, who performs this secret exercise to stay in shape
Toronto-based influencer Alyssa Stellato, who posts under the handle @alyssastellato, shared a video on Instagram showing her 95-year-old grandfather demonstrating his daily exercise routine. Stellato is known online mainly for fashion and styling content, but this post steps away from that entirely to spotlight something more personal.The text overlay on the video reads, “What my 95 year old NONNO wanted to show me he does everyday to stay in shape.” The caption accompanying the post simply says, “Let’s all take note.”In the clip, Stellato’s grandfather appears well-groomed and steady on his feet, dressed in a reddish-brown sweater layered over a shirt, paired with black jeans.He’s seen using a resistance band tied to a wall-mounted pole, a low-impact tool often recommended for strength training in older adults. He pulls and releases the band for five repetitions, facing forward, before repeating the same movement sideways, working through the motion with visible control and patience rather than rushing through it.Throughout the video, Stellato can be heard from behind the camera, encouraging and appreciating her grandfather’s work through his set.
