I'm almost 53 years old. I played college football and stayed in fantastic shape up into my 40s. I regularly walked a mile deep into the river bottoms to hunt deer, carrying about 35 lbs on my back, gun or bow in hand, then climb a tree when I got where I was going. I've hauled deer that same mile out. Then 2 years ago I stopped exercising, started drinking in the evenings, and now I'm in the worst shape of my life. I tried to jump rope the other day, because in my 20s I could jump rope for 10 minutes without stopping. This time I almost tripped and had to stop after 10 jumps because my calves were on fire! PLEASE young people, take care of your bodies!!!
@@patricklawton8135 Hey thanks, that sure sounds like a reasonable idea! Is it an easy thing to do? Go to a GP and get tested? or to a place that specializes in hormone therapy? Did you do it? Was it successful?
@@jakemitchell1671 I haven't done it myself my metabolism is still through the roof even at 37 some day it will end. I've seen it work great for quite a few folks though. GP is likely where to start.
I'm 61 and also played college football (div 1 AA), and was in good shape until my mid 40s. I used to jog every day. I drink beer and have gained s bunch of weight. I carry it well, but need to put it down for a while.
@@joltinjack Thanks, joltinjack. I played Div 2, but we played some Div 1 AA teams. As you know there is no difference in the conditioning required, and I left college probably like you did - in perfect health, fit as a fiddle, and taking it all a bit for granted! lol. Almost nothing will negatively affect ones health quicker and more drastically than daily drinking. I didn't drink for about 20 years, but for some reason picked it up a couple years ago. Now I'm cutting back and slowly getting this overweight, sluggish body moving again. This was the first year of my life I actually made a New Year's resolution.
when was the last time you heard a former pro athlete say, "I now work at an insurance company or ..." At 40, a retired athlete can never work a "real job" outside of trying to be a coach or sportscaster? Did Karl Malone ever drive his truck?
he is human, happens to everybody, no exercise your health is going to decline. Most football players have CTI, so the workouts might help him, especial when he is getting older.
Henry Evenhouse amen Brett is a stupid self centered prick Brett farve is a stupid prick I know this because my cousin was in the mall one time and she saw Brett and asked for a picture he told my cousin that she couldn’t afford a autograph he told her 500 dollars for one picture. By the way he lives in Hattiesburg Mississippi

He's something else...love hearing his stories.
wattttttttt this man doesn't seem as jaded as some OTHER former high profile athletes. Way to go man, that heads on straight.
When he said he only made it 70 yards into the run...I LMFAO
I retired from watching football when Favre retired from playing foorball,it's just not the same without him
Brett is just an awesome guy!
I can't believe that only 55k people viewed this and 37 comments I thought a lot more people loved Brett favre! Good man
He's really humbled himself in his retirement.
Good for you, buddy.
+broshaman He's always been humble.
This comment aged well

Come back Brett,,,Vikings need you
If he came back he'd come back to greenbay
CB FIT Runner it’s 2021 and vikings still need something
He can easily get a job as an NFL analyst.
Brett’s a player!
think basically you got to keep moving after you retire and exercise your body as well as your mind,with that said easier said than done.
a mans man for sure
rhymeandreasoning no
