We Asked Aaron Donald If He Could Only Do Three Workouts Rest of His Life What Would He Do? 

Aaron Donald’s NFL career might be behind him, but his dedication to training is as strong as ever. Even in retirement, he still looks like he could step back on the field tomorrow. As a co-owner of Ready®, AD wants to share what keeps him in peak shape. So, we asked him: If you could only do three workouts for the rest of your life, what would they be?

Workout 1: Dumbbell Bench Press 

Aaron Donald starts with the dumbbell chest press, using 115-pound dumbbells to build strength and maintain a powerful upper body. He chooses this exercise not only to keep his chest strong but also to maintain shoulder stability and definition, helping him stay in peak shape post-retirement. Whether you’re training like an athlete or just looking to stay fit and strong, focus on controlled movements and proper form to maximize both chest and shoulder benefits. And if you’re tired or need a boost in between sets, Ready® Protein Water is the perfect way to refuel and recover.

Workout 2: Dumbbell Bicep Curl Variations

Next up, Aaron Donald focuses on dumbbell bicep variations to keep his arms strong and defined. He alternates between traditional curls, hammer curls, and even one-handed curls while holding a dumbbell in the other hand for an extra challenge. As he jokes, these moves will have you looking right for the summer. Beyond aesthetics, training biceps helps improve overall arm strength and stability, making it a great addition for anyone looking to enhance their physique and upper-body power.

Workout 3: Versa Climber

Last but not least, Aaron Donald hits the Versa Climber for a full-body burn. This machine is perfect for building lower-body strength, boosting cardio, and getting a serious sweat going. Aaron jokes that after a long Versa Climber session, your body will feel a little more trimmed and summer ready. You can go fast or slow depending on your pace and even aim for 200–300 reps across a few sets to really challenge yourself. It’s a total energy burner, and afterward, you’ll definitely want to recharge with a Ready® Sports Drink Light.
