“It’s the 80-20 adage: 80 percent nutrition and 20 percent exercise,” he said News Corp.
‘I try to stay active and watch what I eat. I train for two hours every day with a combination of running and cycling.

“In some of my programs I talk to kids about being healthy and taking care of themselves, and that’s what you have to live by, so that’s what I do and try to be the best role model I can.”
