I normally work out six days a week. I'll do Pilates on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and I'll do cardio on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
When I was younger, I could carry 270 around and run go routes, and it was no big deal.
I go into the gym and do 75 pullups, 75 dips, 150 squats, 150 pushups, and then 20 minutes of ab work. Done. It takes an hour; I'm in and out. I sweat the whole time.
I've done, on video, 150-pound dumbbells in each hand -I think it was, like, twenty two reps - on an incline.
One day when I was bored, I just went down to a powerlifting gym, Via Strength Systems in Albuquerque. I knew I needed to expend my energy somehow. I started working out with them four days a week. I became obsessed with lifting and being fit.
Football players have some bodies! Oh my goodness!
Sparring is probably the best cardio, but strength training is the best way to prevent the kind of injuries that come from roadwork and sparring.
Cycling is an endurance sport. You lose your fast-twitch ability as you age, but your endurance peaks when you hit 30. I don't think I really started feeling my age until around 40.
Crunches are my go-to. I do 100 crunches in the morning and at night to get myself going and get my body moving.
In my trailer, I work out with free weights and do situps and push-ups. I'm just trying to stay lean and active looking.
I ride a bike and use aerobic equipment twice a week, and work out with a trainer, lifting weights.
I work out four to five days a week, alternating three workouts.
I can throw a football all day and my arm doesn't get tired. If I throw a baseball more than a certain amount of time, it's going to get a little sore.
I work out every day - and my daily routine is a mix of functional and strength training.
Even though the weight I'm lifting isn't what it was when I was playing, it's not like I'm not lifting weights that are heavier than the common person would lift. I think a lot of people look at that and say, 'Whoa!'
Maybe it's innate: I have a body built to jump.
When I was a teenager, I did a lot of pull-ups and push-ups. Every night before bed, I'd do 150 - in sets of 30 or so. Looking back on it now, I'm not totally sure that's the best way to improve as a climber. But it did make me a lot better at doing pull-ups and push-ups.
For me, I exercise every morning. I exercise every day. I work out about an hour and 20 minutes, which is aerobics and resistance training. I work on agility and balance. I work on the things that are going to help my condition. I do agility training. I walk on a treadmill. I use an elliptical. I use weights.
Cut your arms and legs off, and you're left with a trunk, which you need to be as strong as possible. It's easier to push over someone who is tall and skinny than someone short and stocky. That's why we work everything from the calves to the neck.
Jumping rope is better than running because it engages the whole body.
In 1959 I had broken the bench press record by lifting 565 pounds, and I could lift 715 pounds from a squat.
I don't think you should spend that much time in the gym. Don't sit around between sets too long. If you want to burn some calories, keep the sets tight. Give yourself 30 seconds to a minute between each set. Supersetting is brilliant.
Besides controlling my diet, I did functional training, weights, pilates and cardio everyday.
Spinning has been such an amazing part of my exercise. I love the music, the energy, and the sweat. It's a tough class, which makes me feel like I've really accomplished something. It's a great way to burn fat and lean out the body. An all-around win!
At middleweight, I started to find an ideal weight for me. I face guys my size, my height, and with my physique.
