Beefy action movie star revealed 1 harsh truth of staying fit at 45
Superhero movies are often dismissed as popcorn fluff, but playing a superhero on screen is no joke.
When you hear about the punishing diet and exercise routines that actors have to go through to get mutant fit for these roles, you can’t help but respect their toughness.
The issue they run into after playing these characters for a long time, however, is that while heroes never age in comic books, humans really start to break down as they get into their 40s.
Believe me, I know.
When I finally breached that decade, I was slammed with a bunch of injuries/health issues that took me a good year and a half to recover from.
From a nagging sports hernia to an MS scare that turned out to be herniated discs in my back to a seemingly endless string of aches and pains that sapped my energy and motivation to get to the gym, there was always something popping up to throw me off my fitness course.
After finally saying enough was enough, I made two key adjustments to stay off the shelf and in the gym:
- I quit alcohol, which was destroying my sleep and thus my exercise recovery
- I finally waved the white flag and started adjusting my workouts to my aging body.
Let’s talk about the latter, and about one beefy action star who just admitted to doing the same this week.
