The health of the Russian president is frequently discussed, and the limited publicly available information offers only partial insight into his daily health habits.

Vladimir Putin is 73 years old and continues to appear physically active. This has sparked interest in how he is said to stay in shape despite his age and a demanding work life.

Information about his health and lifestyle comes primarily from Russian media and past interviews and is therefore limited, but consistent.

Movement as a routine

According to several reports, regular physical activity is an important part of Putin’s daily routine. He engages in activities such as ice hockey, skiing, and horseback riding.

These activities often take place outdoors and require both strength and balance.
