Robbie E Talks About Video Series For Muscle & Fitness

In an interview with PWInsider, Robbie E spoke about his new video series for Muscle & Fitness. Here are highlights:

On the origin of the videos: “When I did The Amazing Race, I think it was the first time that Muscle & Fitness had done any kind of article on me. They had contacted me at the time, as they knew I was in wrestling and covered spark the training I endured to prepare for the show and when I was on the show and that kind of stuff, so they wrote something about me. Then, we kind of hit it off, so I kept in touch with the guys from there that do the write-ups. They’d reach out to me and I’d reach out to them every few months, just to see what kind of new stuff is going on.”

On what inspired the videos: [“Muscle & Fitness] knew I had just had baby twins, well, now, nine months ago and they wrote something up when they were first born. They recently reached out to me and said, ‘You’re still looking the same and super-fit and being in the gym regularly. How are you doing that while having twins?’ They asked if I was interested in making videos showing that Dads can still stay fit and avoid getting the ‘Dad Bod.’ I’m the perfect guy for giving you tips on how to stay fit while making the video sort of fun and entertaining. It’s a fun thing to watch if you are just trying to be entertained but also if you are a dad trying to stay fit, it’s a cool little tips of a workout that you can do while you are playing with your kids. It’s a real thing. When you become a dad, it’s so easy to become a different person, to skip the gym or let your hair grow in and you don’t have time for stuff. You’ve got to avoid that. You have to still be the cool you and the person you were before you had kids and by doing so, you can be a cool dad and a role model for your kids.”

On the reaction from Muscle & Fitness: “They are taking off and [Muscle & Fitness] are happy with it. The videos are doing dynamite compared to the other videos they have up there. They are talking about sending a camera crew to my house so it’s a little better quality. Muscle & Fitness is serious with stuff, so I think they like a little comedy and it’s something a little different for them. I’m hoping it goes until I’m a hundred years old.”
