Brees told BI he loves any form of cross-training, whether it’s riding his fat-tire beach bike, mountain biking, stand-up paddle boarding, swimming, surfing, hiking, or playing pickleball.
Plus, he can do these activities with his kids — he has three sons and a daughter — who share his love of sports.
“Honestly, I’m just kind of a sports junkie and my kids all play sports, so if my daughter grabs the volleyball and wants to go play volleyball, then that’s what we do together,” he said. “Or basketball with the boys, lacrosse with the boys, football, you name it.”
He still likes to train in the weight room a couple of times a week to feel strong and explosive, especially with his lower body.
“But other than that, it’s just doing things to get the heart rate going, get the lungs burning a little bit, and stay in shape,” he said.
