Rob Gronkowski turned 30 years old and retired this year. But that hasn’t stopped the former New England Patriots tight end from playing like a child. He reveled a funny morning routine for his days after football. (He seems to be having plenty of fun.)
“I always have to wake up with a motive,” Gronk told 103.3 AMP Radio’s “The TJ Show” on Wednesday. “I love getting my day going by moving my body. I actually have a trampoline, they call it a ‘Rebounder.’ The mini trampoline, you know what I am talking about? Not one of those big ones, a little one. The first thing I do, I do a couple of stretches to get my hips moving a bit, and I then I just jump up-and-down sometimes just to get my blood moving. … Get the energy rolling and that is what I need to do. I love to workout. I love to stay fit. Usually I start my day like that if I can’t get a workout in in the morning.”
In fairness, he’s not just jumping on a trampoline like a kid. There’s an intention and intensity to what he does.
“When I don’t do movement, when I don’t do my workouts, or any type of movement, what I also love is to just go for a walk in nature to start my day,” he said. “I have a couple little different techniques, like it is either jumping on the trampoline, jumping jacks, go for a walk in nature, or go right into my workout. Depending on the day and depending on what I have, you just feel so much better, you feel so much more motivated and I feel like your mind is so much more clear when you do get that movement in the morning.”
