Mick Jagger is famous for his onstage antics and youthful vitality. Last month, the iconic frontman received heart surgery and was required by his doctors to postpone the Rolling Stones' "No Filter" tour. After a short rest period, the 75-year-old singer was back to his old habits. The only noticeable difference following his surgery is a more rigorous set of dance moves for which he has become famous.
Mick Jagger has been estimated to move a total length of 12 miles when all of his shimmying and strutting on stage is combined into a length.
After a few decades of constant tours and non-stop dancing, people began to wonder how the aging superstar maintained his impressive level of stamina and enthusiasm. This question resurfaced with much more vigor following his heart surgery.
Mick Jagger has been keeping audiences entertained with his powerful vocals and mesmerizing moves for over five decades. Even after receiving an invasive surgery, the Rolling Stones' frontman refuses to slow down.

While many fans have theorized this constant energy to be the results of a life of hard drug use, the truth is quite the opposite. Mick Jagger was raised by a father who worked as a P.E. teacher.
The lead singer was performing exercises before he could even complete a full sentence. He has remained consistent in his exercising and has even increased the intensity of these workouts in recent years.
In fact, Mick Jagger has been working with a Norwegian trainer who has coached Olympic athletes and famous soccer players. According to Vogue, the frontman's routine is a robust mix of cycling, kickboxing, and running. Jagger has reported that his training regimen is geared towards maintaining his stamina. He works out five to six times per week.
In the past few years, Jagger and his trainer have added some pilates, yoga, and ballet lessons to improve his balance, posture, and flexibility.
Mick Jagger's body is still benefitting from the years of intense exercise routines both onstage and in the gym. Jagger was also inspired to maintain a healthy diety by Jo Wood, the ex-wife of the Rolling Stones' bassist and guitarist Ronnie Wood.
Ever since meeting with the entrepreneur, he has restricted his diet to legumes, vegetables, whole grains, fruit, and lean meat. Although he set the standard for raucous behavior throughout the '60s and '70s, Jagger has cut back on his drinking habits. Instead, the singer uses alternative relaxation techniques to calm down.
In 1981, Mick Jagger warned the world that he would never stop if he was ever 'started up'. The iconic performer has proven this to be true even in his mid-70s after invasive heart surgery. He isn't showing any signs of slowing down.
