The 69-year-old swears by ballet to help his balance, and also studies yoga and pilates. His routine also includes running eight miles a day, swimming, kickboxing and cycling. The star's workouts are masterminded by Torje Eike, a Norwegian personal trainer whose previous clients include Olympic athletes and national football teams.
"I train five or six days a week, but I don't go crazy. I alternate between gym work and dancing, then I do sprints, things like that. I'm training for stamina," he revealed.
Ahead of a show, he says his routine involves "bed early the night before, about 2am. Up at 10am the next morning. Any earlier, you'll be too relaxed by showtime." The Rolling Stones are currently in the middle of their 50th anniversary tour, and are scheduled to play at the Glastonbury Festival and in Hyde Park this summer.

I went to "La Fourchette" in 1987. Mick was there in the park. I stood at about 200 yards from him. I am 5.7 and I thought that he wasn't much taller than me. Then the gardener kicked me out of the property....
Rock and roll,

Slim is not the same as skinny. It sounds as if you are now slim. if you lost more, you'd probably be heading for skinny.

Why not? Just because you are 70, does not automatically mean that you have to shrink.

"A little bit of shrinking is a normal part of aging, and it happens because of three things, basically," Raj says. First, as we age, the discs between our vertebrates lose fluid, so they flatten a bit and your vertebrates "simply come together, so your spine is actually shrinking a little bit," Raj explains.
The arches of your feet also tend to flatten a bit as we age. Finally, we lose muscle mass as we age -- especially in our abdomen, which leads to poorer posture -- which gives the appearance of being shorter.
On average, we shrink about a quarter to a third of an inch per decade for every decade after 40. All told, men will get about 1.2 to 1.5 inches shorter, and women will lose up to 2 inches, by age 70. "For men it's less prominent because they have more muscle mass in general and their bones tend to be stronger they lose less height," Raj says.

Pretty much yes it does.

I had a good look at him in Hyde Park last year and his back is perfectly straight and he has got an amazing postureQuote

No way Mick is as tall as 5'10 still, but I doubt he's shrunk all the way to 5'7. He's probably 5'9 or so
Wyman is the one who's 5'7

No one has to settle for muscle mass atrophy as they get older, although if we don't weight train, the rate of atrophy increases with each passing decade. There is no reason whatsoever why people in their 60s and 70s cannot maintain a good level of muscle mass and strength with proper training and a good diet. Muscle growth will be a bit slower as you get older, as will fat loss, but getting weaker and fatter is simply a lifestyle choice!

According to the rest of the linked article, the science is that age-related shrinking is not a total inevitability:
"But you can stop yourself from shrinking too much by regularly exercising -- especially weight-bearing exercises like jogging or running, or other activities that work the legs and the hips. A diet rich in vitamin D and calcium also helps -- try almonds, broccoli or kale, or you can take supplements. One last trick: Maintaining a good posture keeps your bones healthy, and keeps stress off your vertebrae."
