John Cena aims to maintain his fitness routine into his late 80s or 90s.

John Cena has shifted his focus from fitness to the future.

In a new interview, the 47-year-old actor, who was once a pro wrestler, reveals that he intends to incorporate exercise into his routine during his golden years, utilizing his muscular physique.

"He revealed to People that as a 12-year-old, he aimed to build muscle to avoid getting bullied. As a late teen, his goal was to be strong enough to participate in sports. In his early 20s, he focused on looking good aesthetically to maintain discipline."

In 1998, he began his career as a professional wrestler, which he considered the "opportunity of a lifetime." At that time, his objectives changed to help him succeed in that field.

Cena stated that his objective is to remain physically active until he is unable to do so. He envisions being able to perform a parallel squat in his late 80s or 90s.

He stated, 'My training previously focused on being the strongest possible each day. Now, my perspective has shifted to consider the long-term goal of achieving strength 40 years from now.'

The actor's workout routine has changed from frequent exercise to working with weights four days a week, and he focuses on flexibility and mobility on the remaining days.

In 1998, Cena earned an exercise physiology degree from Springfield College in Massachusetts. He stated that the college's ethos was "Spirit, mind and body."

"From both a spiritual and physical perspective, at 47 years old, I am the healthiest and happiest I have ever been," he stated.

In his new interview, Cena reiterated his plan to retire from wrestling at age 50.

"Although my WWE journey is coming to an end, fitness has always been a part of my life. I hope to continue with fitness as long as my heart beats. The WWE has been a significant chapter in my life, marking year 23 for me, but fitness will always remain a crucial aspect of my life."

Over time, he has increasingly focused on acting, starring in popular films such as "Barbie" and the "Fast and the Furious" series.

In a 2022 interview with Adam Glyn, he advised that making the transition from wrestling to Hollywood requires being comfortable with failure. He shared that it has taken 15 years to make this transition, from "The Marine" to the present, with a lot of failure in between.
