From infrared saunas and cold plunges to two-a-days and professionally cooked meals, professional athletes are known for having intense training and diet regimens.
And they can be expensive, too. In a March 2022 episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live," quarterback Russell Wilson said he spends $1 million on his body with the goal of playing until he's 45. Meanwhile, in July, The Athletic reported that running back Derrick Henry's financial advisor estimates he "spends $240,000 yearly on body maintenance."
But what happens to these NFL stars' wellness routines after they retire?
For Super Bowl-winning quarterback Drew Brees, who spoke to BI through his partnership with digital automotive platform CarGurus, wellness in retirement is all about sticking to the basics.
"You wake up every day as a professional football player thinking about, 'What do I need to do today to be the best professional football player that I can be,' right? So, the training regimen is very much centered around that," he said.
"Now that I'm in retirement, I don't have to worry about people hitting me or having to get up every day sore," he added. "So, I'd say it's more I choose things out of enjoyment."
From focusing on sleep to eating organic, here are five wellness rules Brees lives by.
