“I suffer from severe back spasms. I have spinal degeneration and arthritis in my lower back, so I deal with flare-ups quite a bit. I got speared in my lower back in football when I was younger, so I think that contributed to it. I’ve been trying to be more consistent with doing planks to strengthen my core and back. My families have had some health conditions. Mental health issues. Cancer runs in the family. Type 2 diabetes. I might not always be able to stop some of these things from happening but I try to be as healthy and conscious as I can to hopefully eliminate my chances of having health problems. Being healthier means a lot more to me now than it did before. I’m a father now. I want to be healthy for my kid and my wife. It’s not just about me anymore. I don’t want my daughter to grow up without a dad. That may be kind of extreme to think that way, but I don’t think it is. I just want to be around for her. And you know, I want to be healthy for me too. I want to live a long time. I would like to run a marathon. That’s been a goal of mine. I’d like to do it for a cause.”
