“When I was playing, I relied on the team to give me all of the information I needed about my body.” After 16 grueling seasons in the NBA, Dwyane Wade spoke with The Healthy, about his post-retirement journey. A typical day now involves getting outside, taking a walk, and some much-needed coffee. Recently, he got clicked on another activity that athletes widely indulge in, including his best friend and former teammate LeBron James.

“That’s a cold man🥶,” friend and Physician/Surgeon Joel Abbott added to his Instagram story. A day before Dwyane Wade with his entire production team was out watching Monday Night Football. 59th and Prairie Entertainment, “team at the Rams game!🏈.” Just like athletes, the Heat legend was inside the cold ice tub, neck deep, working on recovery. Even the Miami Heat legend shared the story on his Instagram, so his 20 million followers get a glimpse of his post-retirement life.

It’s the same technique that LeBron James used during his fifth straight NBA final in 2015. During that period, he had played 2,000 more minutes than any other player. Ken Berger of CBS Sports highlighted the process after game 5 of that year’s final, where King James scored 40 points despite the loss. The post-game ritual involved being soaked up in an ice tub covering his waist. But even the 4x NBA Champion did not like the process. He once called it “borderline torture” to Bleacher Report.

That is why LeBron James is still in his 22nd season in the league—he is the only player alongside Vince Carter to play as many seasons in the NBA. Another former player, Luol Deng, appreciated the ‘Bron-gevity’ and disclosed the secret he learned during the commercial shoot with LeBron.

Although Dwyane Wade is not playing in the league, he still cares for his body.”I need moments for myself.” The 3x NBA Champion sometimes even stays away from his wife Gabrielle Union to follow his Wellness Retreat.

From Cold to Hot, Dwyane Wade is trying everything

Not just cold dips, but even hot yoga is a popular means of how D-Wade takes care of himself. “It’s a mental challenge to be in there, and I mentally have to be so locked in, and it’s hard to be locked in at 6:30 in the morning, and doing all those things. I was like, oh, I’m looking for this challenge. “

But it’s not what his wife is a fan of. “I don’t love hot yoga. I’ve actually done it I-don’t-know-how-many times. Every time, I say, Ok, this is my last time. I don’t think I’m built for it.” Union continued, “My husband swears by it though. He has a whole crew. They go daily. I’ll be at pilates—in the air conditioning.”

Last month, before the statue revealing ceremony, Dwyane Wade and an all-male friends’ crew went on a Men’s Wellness Retreat. They enjoyed hot yoga, ice tub dips, and even some golf. So not only does Dwyane Wade personally try activities post-retirement, but he even has his whole crew indulged in the same.
