Saudi oil minister walks 10 km daily

Saudi Arabia’s 80-year-old oil minister went on camera to reveal that he walks 10 km every day and to urge young men to follow suit.

Ali Al Nuaimi said he has been walking daily for the past over 30 years and that this has helped him keep ‘very fit’.

“I send a message to my brothers and my sons in Saudi Arabia…exercise is the best for your health. You should do daily exercises,” he said in a YouTube film carried by the Arabic language daily Ajel and social networks.

He said he does most of his daily exercises inside the massive compound of oil giant Saudi Aramco, the world’s largest oil producing firm.
