Tony confesses that he drinks lots of water in a day. He sees to it that he does not reach a state of dehydration. This is essential especially when he is exercising. Water loss is more during the gym visits and Tony replenishes it well. He revealed:
“I drink plenty of water throughout the day,”
“I make sure that when I am going to be active, that I have water nearby, so that when I’m skating—which is my workout, for the most part—that I am hydrating during my session, not just after.”
Talking about his younger days, he said:
“I think my mistake when I was younger is I thought that I needed all my energy, all my focus, on skating when I was doing it,”
“I would get very dehydrated and then end up drinking a ton of water afterwards. Now, I’ve learned to do it as I go.”
Simple healthy diet with cheat snacks

“Every day, I am usually eating oatmeal for breakfast,”
“I try to veer away from too many fatty foods or sugar, but I can’t say that I avoid them completely.”
About snacking, he disclosed:
“I don’t know if it’s a cheat, this snack: I love to eat Ritz [crackers] with the Happy Cow cheese and little salami nuggets,”
“That’s my go-to, in-between snack; sometimes that’s just my lunch.”
Exercise
He does his workouts daily to keep muscle mass intact. And he is also mindful of his heart health. He revealed:
“As I got older, I started to learn that I inherited a lot of these traits from my dad in terms of cholesterol,”
“He had two heart attacks by the time he was my age. I [wanted] to be able to change that narrative, because he didn’t. He didn’t do anything about it—and so I had that example to not go by.”

Tony’s healthy approach have evolved with time. He said:
“I think that I thought I was somewhat invincible when I was a kid. I was eating whatever anytime, anywhere and not really considering the health consequences of that,”
“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve seen how it affects my stamina; how it feels and affects my overall health. I realized that I can feel just as young, if I’m willing to do the work and take the supplements and just go at it with a more careful attitude.”
