Jason Kelce has a new workout coach in retirement, and that’s wife Kylie Kelce . “She just implemented this, but she said I have to work out a minimum of three days a week, otherwise she doesn’t want to deal with me,” Jason, 36, quipped on the Friday, August 9, episode of Yote House Media’s “Green Light With Chris Long” podcast. “When I’ve worked out, I am in a great mood; I interact well at home with my kids and everybody –– I just am a better person.
” According to Jason, whenever he doesn’t work out he can feel “like [he’s] not really being productive for the day.” Jason and Kylie, 32, have been married since 2018 and share daughters Wyatt, 4, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 18 months. The family faced a new challenge in March when Jason confirmed his retiremen t from the Philadelphia Eagles.
Thanks to his retirement and Kylie’s rules , Jason has started slimming down. “[I weighed] 276 [pounds] this morning. It was big because I was stuck at 280 for a long time [over] the last three months,” Jason said.
“[I was] 295 [before retirement].” Jason further noted that the smallest he ever weighed during his NFL tenure was in the 270s. “I remember looking at the scale, [thinking], ‘Oh crap, I gotta eat some food,” the retired center explained.
“On [former Eagles coach] Chip [Kelly’s] offense, it wasn’t bad because there was no stopping. So, it benefited you a little bit to be lighter because, as you know, the tempo slows down big guys. .
