Guy revealed that during the COVID-19 lockdown he hired a trainer and incorporated a healthier diet that includes more vegetables on his quest to be able to live longer and spend more time with his children.

"It's crazy how life sends us these analogies to live or die by. It's the same thing with my workout class. I know that class is going to start at 7:30 A.M. And if I can just make it a commitment to get through the door and do the first 30 seconds, then I'm off and running," he told Men's Health.

Guy said he focuses on a minimum of two HIIT workouts with his trainer a week as well as rucking, an exercise that involves walking or hiking with a weighted backpack, cold plunges, daily sauna sessions, and intermittent fasting.

"The thing about cold plunges is that you gotta get through the first 30 seconds, " he shared. "When I started, I hated waiting on the timer to go off. But now I breathe and get into the right mind space. The energy it gives you… it gets me fired up. I do it every day."

He also began intermittent fasting, revealing that "once I started getting more serious about that, the quantity of food I was eating, and exercise, it really changed the whole thing".

He now only eats between noon and 8pm, and focuses on portion control.
