Nevertheless, Arnie jokingly cautioned Ronnie to be wary of his breathing since they did not want any strokes happening mid-workout.?“Nice and easy, okay, inhaling exhale okay, I don?t want any strokes or anything like that, maybe,”?he said.
If that was not all, Arnie also pointed out the meager refund they might be able to claim from health insurance for such situations.?“Our insurance policy only takes it up to a 100 million dollars; that?s not fair enough for you, not close,”?Arnie remarked. Promptly agreeing with the fact, Coleman added that it won?t be close enough at all.
