Props to anyone over 40 that remains in shape. Eat well, train well, drink well.
Dude probably never touches Soda, and eats real well on top of training most days.
You said your nutrition habits haven't changed too much. What are your dietary habits?
SS: Fish, chicken, turkey, bison and veggies. I'm big on green veggies: arugula, spinach and kale. I'm not a fad guy. I stick to stuff that is tried and true. You know, all of a sudden the juice craze has taken over and all that other stuff. I think everything has its purpose and has a place, but I'm going to stick to what's tried and true. I think with lean cuts of chicken and beef, fish, turkey, ground beef and bison, you can't go wrong with those.
What is your weekly exercise routine like?
SS: I'm more of a cross-training guy now. I don't work a specific body part. I don't go into the gym and say, 'Okay, I'm going to do chest today,' or, 'I'm going to do chest and arms,' or, 'I'm going to do back or legs.' I cross-train, so I hit everything in a particular workout, and I do that three times a week. I'm a big cardio guy. I love spinning, and I do that seven to eight times a week because I have time. What else am I going to do? I don't have a hobby. I don't play golf; I don't restore cars; and I don't have a fixer-upper house that I'm working on. So basically, my day is built around just working out. That's what I enjoy doing.
So more cardio focused?
SS: Yes, I would definitely say so. But the eating habits, too. It goes hand-in-hand. What I tell people all the time is that bodies are made in the kitchen, not in the gym. You cannot exercise a bad diet. It's just impossible. Unless you want to be the ultra-marathoner or someone like a Michael Phelps that's swimming 70 or 80,000 meters in a week, you cannot exercise a bad diet.
