Although he is now an aged 43 years old, and although he’s always looked to be tipping the scales in the 300 pound range, new Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Bartolo Colon is legitimately a very fit dude.
I know that sounds crazy, but when you watch him work out – or show off his athleticism on the field – you can tell why this guy is a professional athlete. And, hey, to be still going strong at 43 years old, he must be doing something right.
MLB.com’s Jesse Sanchez is in the Dominican Republic, and he got a look at Colon training away today. And, you know what? Maybe it doesn’t look quite so traditional, but Bartolo is gettin’ after it:

That’s not easy, my friends. Set yourself up with a buddy, and give that one a go – you will be exhausted quite quickly. It’s the Bartolo Colon exercise plan, and it’ll keep you feeling young enough to hit dingers well into your 40s.
