NFL linemen get skinny when we retire. Why?
You do not need to carry 300+ pounds to sit in meetings, train for health, or feel good walking around every day.
For me, retirement meant losing about 70 pounds. Not because I suddenly found discipline, but because the target changed.
Less food.
More movement.
More consistency.
More attention to joints, conditioning and long-term health.
The discipline was always there. It just used to be pointed at staying big enough to play.
Now it is pointed at feeling better and living better.
