Retirement for most people brings a resting phase, a time to catch on to the fleeting moments of life left beyond in their drive for achievements. It is a period to recuperate from the taxing discipline and constant pressure to prove one’s worth. However, some athletes, like this former teammate of Tom Brady, show dogged rigor even after their retirement.

The all-time prolific kicker of the NFL is one such person. Rather than slacking up, he unleashed an improved version of himself at the age of 51. Let’s find out.

Former Tom Brady teammate does not like a dad-bod

Adam Vinatieri retired in 2021 after scoring a record number of career points. Moreover, Vinatieri showed remarkable longevity by playing for 24 seasons. After a distinguished career, the former Indianapolis Colts player has embarked on a new fitness journey.

The four-time Super Bowl Winner, who was a teammate of Tom Brady, is inching close to 51 but refuses to slow down with age. In March 2023, the match-winning kicker joined his son AJ Vinatieri for a quick gym session. The duo followed Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s chest and tricep workout method. The former player looked shredded in the YouTube video, thus amazing fans with his physique transformation. 

In an impromptu interview session at the gym, AJ asked his dad about the motivational factors that nudged him into fitness rather than unwinding. 

“I just feel like I’m getting older and I didn’t want to get that dad bod, and kind of got out of the shower one day and said ‘I can make this look better’,” replied Vinatieri.

Moreover, the former New England Patriots superstar did not want to lose his prime physical conditioning and stamina. Vinatieri also liked flaunting his body. He said, “And it’s fun in the summertime taking your shirt off and being proud of what you got.” 

Even former teammate Tom Brady would approve of the reverse physical transformation. He looks ready to shatter some more NFL records. It is not uncommon to witness athletes improve themselves with age. Bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler is also one such person.

Jay Cutler turned 50 years old this August. But before embarking on the second chapter of his life, the 4x Mr. Olympia began a 12-week transformation challenge dubbed ‘Fit for 50’. The Quad Stomper revealed he was unhappy with his body in the 72nd episode of Cutler Cast. “I’m just not satisfied with how I look now,” told Mr Olympia.

He informed Manager Matt about his lower coffee intake and strict diet, as Culter wanted to be in his best physique since his exit from the stage in 2013. Moreover, he acknowledged that the resistance to change would come from himself. “The Fit for 50 challenge is me against me,” quipped the bodybuilder.

However, the Comeback kid successfully achieved a ripped musculature, putting his self-doubts to rest. Moreover, fans were cheering on the fitness icon in his transformation journey. Thus, these champions show age is just a number when it comes to achieving dreams. What would you do after retirement? Let us know in the comments.
