At 53 years, Michael Nawari can easily slip his hands under the soles of his feet without bending his knees. Not many of his peers can do that —he will vividly remind you with a cheeky smile.
He can hold a plank (a core strength exercise) for more than a minute and finished the 2025 Mt Kilimanjaro half marathon held last month in one hour 37 minutes. For context, Michael is quick to remind you that the race record is 1 hour :03 minutes, set by 27-year-old Farasi Lazaro, who is young enough to be his son.
