Don’t tell Arturo Macias that just because he’s 88, he should take it easy.
The man from St. Jérôme is a true force of nature. Every morning, he starts his day with a 30-minute routine of twisting and stretching exercises. Then, as soon as he can, he slips on his shoes to walk a minimum of 5 kilometers.
On weekends, Arturo Macias mounts his bike and rides between 40 and 50 kilometers.
“When I’m not cycling, I’m out in the mountains with a group of friends,” he says proudly. Some of them are 40 years younger than me. We hike from 5 to 10 kilometers. I recently climbed the legendary Acropole-des-Draveurs trail in the Charlevoix.”
In 2023, in the company of his daughter Yara, the octogenarian made at least four 10-day trips to Las Vegas, Mexico, Germany and Spain.
“I can’t be still for long. You should see me dancing in the kitchen while I cook my food. I dance! I swing to the music I love. The important thing is to move all my muscles.”
Originally from Mexico, Arturo Macias says he hasn’t really got any advice to give, but he likes people to find him inspiring.
“I teach Spanish part-time. Some of my students tell me I’m their idol,” he says with humility.
A FADOQ member for about a year, he joined mainly because of the discounts offered, since he needed a hearing aid. He believes that FADOQ does an excellent job of defending and promoting seniors’ rights.
