“I probably spend $1 million if not more, a year, just on recovery,” Wilson said.
Here’s the breakdown …
— Full-time trainer (who also works with Ciara).
— Full-time physical therapist
— Full-time masseuse
— Two chefs!
Wilson says he’s been investing in his body for about 5 or 6 years now — and also has “all the toys” to keep him in peak physical condition.
“I’ve got two hyperbaric chambers. I’ve got a little bit of everything. I get in the hyperbaric four times a week, three times a week. I get treatment every day.”
Russ also says he tries to workout EVERY DAY — 365 days a year — though he admits there might be 1 or 2 days he takes off,.
“The reality is Christmas — depending on the circumstances, but usually I do because we usually have a game around then — and Thanksgiving. I’m in between 363 and 365 amount of work that we do every day, something around the work I do.”
“I’m trying to play until I’m 45, at least. For me, my mentality is that I’m going to leave it all on the field and do everything I can to take care of myself.”
Russ signed a 4-year, $140 million contract in 2019 — so yeah, he can afford it.
