“At 47 now, my goal is to be physically active until I can't. I put a number in my head of like, I'd like to be physically active into my late 80s or 90s. To do a parallel squat in my late 80s,” he shares.

“I know my WWE journey is coming to an end, but fitness was a part of my life long before the WWE journey started,” he stresses. “Fitness will be a part of my life, hopefully as long as my heart's beating. So the WWE has been a great chapter in my life — it's year 23 for me — and the sun's setting on that chapter in the book, but fitness will never not be a part of my life.”

I agree with Cena's decision to keep him fit and healthy once he retires from wrestling. He's three years away from turning 50. I don't want him to wear himself out years down the road and resort to physical health problems like your knees, elbows, arms, legs, etc,. So yeah, being healthy and fitness matters a lot to him once he hangs his boots up.
