The father of three incorporates yoga and pilates into his routine, and he adjusted his diet to reduce the intake of animal protein, he said.

"I noticed that I felt quite lethargic at times when I should be fit and healthy. I think it’s because my body’s trying to process all that protein," he said. "So we’re not fully vegan or anything, but we’re kind of trying to see if we can hold this weight, incorporate a lot of that style of eating."
