Arrington took advantage of the chance to inform other older persons about the value of developing a healthy relationship with their bodies.
He said to the publication,
“At my age, your body is much more fragile. You have to be more careful when you’re training, and you can’t abuse it — your tendons have a tendency to want to detach. In the past five years, my left bicep broke loose, and I had a little bit [of a] tear in my right bicep, too. So, you can’t do things you used to be able to do. It’s really disheartening, but it’s important to keep soldiering away.”
Since then, he has been in the news and many people are talking about him. Many people are also trying to find out more about him. So, here’s what we know about him:
