This past winter Morgan spent part of his downtime stitching himself up\u2014literally\u2014after a demanding daily routine of cutting trees and clearing paths in Alaska\u2019s frigid winter conditions. For Morgan, a little blood is just a small portion of his productivity philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our society today, we\u2019re not willing to accept pain,\u201d he explains. \u201cBut if you teach yourself to embrace a certain level of pain, the reward on the other side is so much greater. You push yourself to realize that you can tolerate much more than you initially think you can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morgan\u2019s latest EP, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craigmorgan.com\/\"><em>American Soundtrack<\/em>,<\/a> was released on February 28. It features six songs that span themes of faith, family, resilience, and love of country. So, where did a man best recognized as one of country music\u2019s favorite hitmakers, with songs like \u201cRedneck Yacht Club,\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s What I Love About Sunday,\u201d \u201cInternational Harvester,\u201d develop such a passion for pushing limits?<\/p>\n<p>Morgan says part of it comes from his 20-year service in the U.S. Army. He\u2019s also worked alongside the CIA as a soldier in Panama and has pursued sex traffickers in Thailand. In 2023, he re-enlisted in the Army at age 58, smashing, he says every test the military put in front of him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I took the Army Combat Fitness Test, I knew there would be naysayers who thought that because I\u2019m<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@craigmorgan85?lang=en\"> Craig Morgan,<\/a> I\u2019ll have an easy time,\u201d he says. \u201cSo I was adamant about not just passing the ACFT, but I wanted to score really well, and I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He says his high-energy lifestyle, whether it\u2019s snowmobiling through Alaska or working on his Nashville farm keep him feeling decades younger than his age, which will come in handy as soon heads out on tour with Blake Shelton. Evidence of this he says when he worked with contemporary superstars Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson, on the senior country crooner\u2019s on his 2023 remake-based EP, <em>Enlisted<\/em>. \u201cNone of them can keep up with me,\u201d Morgan asserts. \u201cI have high energy. People joke about it in our industry, but in general, people pick at me about my energy. I attribute it to my health habits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The formula for longevity post 60 is no secret for Morgan, who\u2019s also run marathons and triathlons in the past. Constant movement is key, he says. That with solid sleep\u2014keeps the music-making military veteran at the top of his game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo question, the military teaches you to push yourself beyond your limits, and that\u2019s just a fact,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen you\u2019re in an environment that is so stressful and physically demanding, sometimes you have no choice but to do that or quit. In that case, you don\u2019t belong in that profession. I apply that same philosophy to everything I do in my physical life. I just don\u2019t stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:100%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/CraigMorgan_AmericanSoundtrack_CVR_3000x3000-e1740686814822.jpeg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" alt=\"Craig Morgan\" width=\"1109\" height=\"1109\" data-fallback-img=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/CraigMorgan_AmericanSoundtrack_CVR_3000x3000-e1740686814822.jpeg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Craig Morgan<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/craig-morgan-is-getting-stronger-both-musically-and-physically-at-age-60\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019d be mistaken if you thought Craig Morgan would start to lighten his workload when he hit 60.
