I always say, just keep moving whatever is working in the body. At my age, if you don’t move your hands and feet for even a day, they stiffen up and stop working. So, you have to keep doing something every day.”
They further discuss the songs they like to listen to while working out. Big B shares that he likes to play the popular ones which have a lot of energy.
