Why Did Ben Decide To Lose Weight?
Ben’s health was a major factor in his decision to work out more. In the video praising him for his weight loss, Erin revealed that upcoming shoulder surgery was the driving factor for him. “[Ben] got hardcore about his health and fitness last winter ahead of his big shoulder surgery that was in march so he could sleep better on his back and lower his [blood pressure],” she wrote.
Ben’s health journey has been documented in Home Town, according to People. He also opened up about why he was trying to get in better shape in a February 2018 Instagram post. “I come from a long line of big men who don’t really discuss their health until it’s an issue,” he wrote, explaining that his dad had to undergo emergency bypass surgery.
He revealed that his daughters Helen, 5, and Mae, 2, were a key part of his decision to lose weight. “Although I have made efforts to eat healthy and to exercise, it never seemed more real until I held this blue-eyed girl that is equal parts Erin & me and a whole lot more than I deserve in my arms. I never want to leave her side, which means taking care of my heart has to be a major priority,” he wrote on Instagram.
Ben Napier’s Diet & Exercise
While Ben hasn’t shared many details about his most recent weight loss journey, he did open up about some of his strategies in a Jan. 2019 interview with Today. “I’ve always done well with cutting carbs. I try to stick to a low-carb diet until Thanksgiving every year and I try to do a good mix of cardio and weights five days a week. Most weeks, it ends up only being four days,” he explained. “I don’t get bored playing basketball, and could play for hours if I had the time. I’ve also done some intermittent fasting a couple of days a week.”
