The stated goal
Maffay says he wants to stay healthy enough to share future milestones with Anouk, including her eventual graduation celebrations. He frames that wish as motivation for consistent exercise rather than a guarantee about the future.
What the routine involves
Public accounts of the interview describe daily early-morning cycling and regular physical training. The emphasis is practical: maintaining energy for family life at 77, not promoting a commercial fitness program.
Why it feels corrective
Maffay has acknowledged that his career left too little time with his older son. His comments about Anouk are therefore also about changing how he allocates attention now, not only about exercise.
Update note: Original source-read family briefing that keeps Maffay's fitness goal as a personal intention, not a longevity promise.
