One of the reasons that professional athletes are able to stay in such incredible shape during their playing days is by the mere fact of how many calories they burn during their week of practice, in addition to the games they play against opponents; just think about how much of a toll that must take on their bodies. And that’s often why you see so many athletes “balloon” up in terms of their weight after their career is over, because their respective levels of activity are so greatly reduced.
But then there are those athletes who went the opposite way, looking like completely different people after their careers were over. And as you’ll see in the following list, all of them did so very much for the better.
