During this time of isolation with gyms and NFL facilities closed, players are taking different approaches to staying in shape. Some are working out at home, while others are training with a select group of teammates.
And then there’s Taylor Rapp, who went all out this weekend with an 18-hour marathon of exercise.
The Rams safety shared a tweet Sunday night showing his workout, in which he attempted to burn 10,000 calories. He got there, but it obviously wasn’t easy. He biked 125 miles – 103 miles of which was in one ride – swam 1.25 miles, hiked another four miles and ran three more miles.
The end result was 10,521 calories burned, 18 hours and 21 minutes of exercise and three awesome maps of his routes.

Rapp is gearing up for a big second season in the NFL after a successful rookie year in which he was one of the best young safeties in the league. He’ll be a surefire starter in 2020 with Eric Weddle now retired, lining up with John Johnson at safety.
Like so many other players, Rapp is staying in shape this offseason, but not just by lifting weights and running on a treadmill. He’s out here doing triathlon workouts.
