Jay Cutler shocked the fitness community by getting into incredible shape at 50. The Comeback Kid didn’t stop training and got into the best shape since retiring from bodybuilding. This year, the bodybuilding icon wants to add to his physique with a ‘Fit for 51’ transformation. The 50-year-old, while answering a fan, explained that he had already started the transformation.

“Jay you did Fit for 50 Are you planning on doing a Fit for 51?” Manager Matt read this question while conversing with Cutler. The three-time Arnold Classic champion said he wanted to do something a little different this year. While last year’s transformation was more dramatic, “what I’m trying to do now is train for more fullness,” revealed Jay Cutler.

The 50-year-old added that doing so will make his “muscles pop,” making his physique look more defined. Jay Cutler has to eat more and stick to moderate cardio to achieve the physique he desires. Last year, the former champion returned to eating, as he did during competitions for the transformation. He is eating six meals a day, with over a month left in the challenge.

“I’m only doing 20 minutes of cardio twice a day,” said the bodybuilding veteran. Thankfully, Jay Cutler will also be able to better regulate his diet and cardio this time, because his busy schedule, will ease up in July. So with less traveling, the Comeback Kid will be able to “give more attention” to the fitness challenge before turning 51 on August 3rd.

“The fit for 51 is obviously in full effect,” said Jay Cutler. The bodybuilder first teased the idea of repeating the ‘Fit for’ challenge in April and also gave a glimpse of how he integrated 40-minute cardio sessions into his daily routine.

Jay Cutler’s impressive cardio equipment collection

The bodybuilding champion showcased how he is clocking in 40 minutes of cardio every day on the June 1st episode of Jaywalking. The four-time Mr. Olympia showed the impressive collection of cardio machines he has amassed at his home gym. However, on that day he did a 20-minute session on a Woodway, the “the Rolls-Royce of treadmills.”

While Cutler didn’t reveal how much he paid for it, Woodways can cost up to an eye-watering $18,000. Besides the uber-expensive treadmill, Cutler also said he kept his cardio sessions inserting by switching things up. The Comeback Kid also owns other high-end treadmills, a StairMaster, and more. The 50-year-old is also prioritizing steady-state over high-intensity cardio for his transformation.

While Jay Cutler has nothing left to prove, the legendary bodybuilder taking up yet another fitness challenge for his 51st birthday goes to show that bodybuilding is a lifelong passion for the four-time Mr. Olympia winner.
