Daboll’s primary method for weight loss was Pilates, specifically a regimen at DTR Pilates in Wyckoff, New Jersey. It was the recommendation of his friend’s wife during dinner.
He described the initial sessions as challenging, saying:
It’s called DTR Pilates in Wyckoff. It’s a friend of my wife, and we were having dinner one day, and I said, “Hey, I think I want to try that.” So I started going. The first few weeks I was not too pleased with it; I was pretty sore, but I tried to stick with it. You go pretty early in the morning. As you get older, there are fewer things you can do, so we’ll see how that goes. You don’t have a lot of time to do other things other than football, so we’ll see how it goes.
In addition to his exercise routine, Daboll made conscious dietary changes to support his weight loss goals.
He focused on a balanced diet including lean meats, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, emphasizing proper nutrition rather than simply reducing calorie intake.
Over the course of his journey, Daboll reportedly lost a significant amount of weight, though he acknowledged minor fluctuations.
Having lost a significant amount of weight, which is clearly visible, Daboll has motivated and inspired others who are seeking the same.
