    Personal Trainer

    • During his active football career, Colton would force feed himself surplus calories to maintain very high body weight.

    • Colton starts his workout with a 15-minute warm-up on the treadmill followed by 9-12 strength training exercises and concludes it with another 25 minutes of cardio on the elliptical trainer or the treadmill. He follows this routine at least 5 times a week.
