‘Seinfeld’ Star Wayne Knight Reveals Dramatic Weight Loss With Time-Saving Workout

When you picture Newman from the hit 90s sitcom Seinfeld, you most likely picture a stout, curly-headed man who lives to anonymous Jerry. His character didn’t exactly portray him as a beacon of health, in one episode Newman even tries to eat Kramer after he smothers himself in butter. But in real life, Wayne Knight has been on a health journey for quite some time, and in recent years he’s turned to The Exercise Coach workouts to stay in shape.

Just recently the Seinfeld actor was spotted at The Exercise Coach in Los Angeles looking noticeably slimmer. In photos and a video via The Daily MailKnight can be seen sporting a blue polo and black sweatpants as he gets in a quick workout on a recumbent exercise bike with arm exercisers that uses all limbs.

Despite Knight being out of the public eye for quite some time, his weight loss is nothing new. In a 2004 interview with CBS, Knight spilled the details of his more than 100-pound weight loss claiming he did it the old-fashioned way.

According to Knight, he’s had issues with food since childhood but it wasn’t until an episode of Seinfeld that the problem really reared its head.

“I was being fired at by a farmer having been with the farmer’s daughter, running through a cornfield with my pants down, and at some point in the middle of shooting, I can’t catch my breath.”

This wake-up call led to a visit with cardiologist Dr. Daniel Eisenberg, who confirmed the issue was something that he needed to get under control sooner rather than later.

“All the fame in the world isn’t going to help you to prevent what most people get, and that’s diabetes, heart disease, or strokes,” he said.

In the early stages of his weight-loss journey, it’s reported that Dr. Eisenburg suggested Knight work with fitness expert Marc Vahanian. Now, at 69 years old, it seems that Knight may have turned to more manageable workouts and a gourmet delivery service that keeps his calories at around 1,500 a day.

What Is The Exercise Coach?

For people who want to get healthy but have busy schedules, spending hours in the gym per week isn’t always an option. According to The Exercise Coach website, its workouts “combine the science of muscle contraction with our proprietary exercise technology that delivers each workout in a way that’s ideally suited to anyone regardless of their ability, age or fitness level.”

The emphasis is on the quality of workouts rather than volume. With no more than two, 20-minute workouts per week, the trainers at The Exercise Coach claim to help people feel like their strongest and healthiest selves.
