The secret to living longer

Since time began, we have been on a quest for the secret to living longer with some even obsessing over it while others found it.

At 94, Alan Waddell has not stopped walking 3km every day and with every step, he said he is holding back the years.

"I decided that rather than sit at home by myself, I'd start walking," he said.

"My vascular specialist said if I had not been walking everyday for the last four years I would not be able to walk at all today."

To prove his point, Alan intends walking through every single suburb in Sydney on his path to immortality.

"Every street, every lane no matter how short and every pathway in every park."

After covering more than 242 suburbs, he has one clear message to those wanting to stall the onset of age, get off the couch.

Life, he said, is best appreciated in a pair of joggers.

"Many people instead of walking a couple of hundred metres or so get the car out and I think they're very foolish," he said.

Alan's fame is now global..

His website has been viewed by 333,000 visitors from 162 countries.

"My walking hasn't only benefited me but benefited others and I'm very satisfied and very happy about it."

"I still enjoy life, I walk everyday so I will enjoy life."

Sue Hendy from the Council of the Ageing said with depleting numbers in our labour force, older and fitter people will be commonplace.

"As you get older your skills will and do improve no matter what your age," she said.

"It is about your capacity, your contribution."
