How you balance class and school and other stuff outside, then working out twice a day - as a freshman, you're thrown right into that. It's good for you. It makes you go through adversity.
I've always been athletic - I ran track in high school - and it kept my blood pressure in check over the years. Once I was diagnosed with hypertension, I stepped up my workouts.
You know me, I play basketball. I just try to take care of that part, make sure I'm ready coming into the workouts. Make sure I'm ready, sharp, things like that.
I don't need to practise. The only thing I need to do is build up my match fitness.
When I'm touring, I have to think of workouts that don't require a gym.
People like to talk a lot about me, about how I have anxiety or social disorders. I'll admit to anxiety, but it has nothing to do with media or being in front of a camera or being around people. It has to do with dealing with the sparring that I'm going to have or the workouts that I'm going to have from day to day.
The thing that motivates me most in my workouts is when I can learn something new.
I am ready. I'm in great shape. My workouts have been great. I'm ready to get back and help a team get to the Super Bowl.
I do plenty of workouts - HIIT, spinning classes, Pilates, yoga.
I'm a person who prefers to play games rather than train.
I don't like workouts that make you bulky.
I try to fit in workouts whenever I can.
There are times I might coach one or two workouts a year when the regular coach gets caught in traffic.
I try my best to stay healthy, but I have the appetite of a nine-year-old boy, so I just pay for it in workouts.
All of the products I take help me feel like I'm getting the maximum amount out of my workouts and out of my practice work. They're a big part of preparing and recovering each week.
It's tricky when I'm constantly traveling and adjusting to new time zones and trying to also keep up with my workouts.
My problem with most athletic challenges is training. I'm lazy and find that workouts cut into my drinking time.
We do a lot of different workouts, like hot yoga, to stay flexible, loose, and healthy.
My workouts start with a really good stretching session.
I'm really big into yoga, so I go On Demand and look up workouts. I'm all about it.
I was not going to be distracted by anything - a fight with my wife, a bump in the car, whatever it may be. I refused to let anything interfere with my workouts.
By learning about my body and making small, subtle changes, I find out what I enjoy and what is effective. I'm always finessing: adjusting my diet and my workouts. You have to figure out which exercises are fun and interesting and stimulate your brain - or else you'll never keep at them.
