When Herschel Walker was 18 years old, he was looked upon as a once-in-a-generation physical specimen. A soon to be NFL running back, Herschel was ridiculously fast, powerful & agile
30 years later, he is still ridiculously fast, powerful & agile.
He’s also a competitive mixed martial arts athlete and a cover model for ESPN Magazine’s “The Body” Issue.
So, how does the 48 year old ex-football player stay in such amazing shape?
At 5:30 a.m., Walker wakes up to do 750 to 1,500 push-ups and about 2,000 sit-ups….every day.
.
How many 48 year olds can say that they do 1500 push-ups and 2000 sit-ups in an entire year?
