Health & Fitness

Graziano started cycling because he wanted to get fit and lose weight. However, he eventually got to the point where he developed an addiction to it.

In an interview with Bicycling in January 2021, Graziano stated that he initially got Peloton in October 2019 because his wife wanted it as a birthday/anniversary present. He said, "I definitely used it a fair bit right away. But because of my travel schedule for work (NFL season is a tough time of year to get into a routine), I stopped. When I got back from the NFL combine at the end of February 2020, I realized I weighed 209 pounds—too much for me at 5-foot-9."

Graziano decided to start a new lifestyle on 1 March 2020 and set a weight loss goal of 30 pounds. He intended to visit the gym, lift weights, and run.

He has been running since 1999 and has completed the New York City Marathon thrice. However, he had never considered riding a bike, even a stationary one.

But he soon had to find something else to do because of the injury to his left knee. Early in March 2020, Graziano realized that, due to COVID-19, going to the gym or anywhere else wasn't a great idea from a health and safety standpoint. As a result, he began working out with the help of the Peloton and dumbbells at his home.

Even when traveling for work, he attempts to work out every day. He rides his bike five or six days a week and works out with weights on the other days.

As of 21 January 2021, he had kept Peloton Streak for 324 days.
