Terry Crews Says He Burned 7,000 Calories After One ‘America’s Got Talent’ Episode

The constantly fit Terry Crews feels the burn while hosting televised talent competition America’s Got Talent.

The actor and media personality sat down with guest host Nicole Byer for the August 13 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, and discussed AGT being the “hardest” and “most satisfying” job in the world.

Around the nine-minute mark of the video below, the 57-year-old joked that he wears a Wearable fitness tracker to make sure his “heart’s still ticking.” While hosting one episode of the long-running reality competition show, Crews tracked that he’d lost 7,000 calories in a single day.

“I was like, ‘Something’s wrong.’ Like maybe I had my hand near a heater,” Crews joked. “But it was wild. I burned [that many calories] because what happens is the energy of people, the energy of talking and being [with] people, then going out live and then dancing and seeing the acts and jumping around and going around the whole theater.”

He continued, “And now I come home and I’m done. I’m just tired. And I said,
7,000 calories. That is nuts.”

Crews added that he’s learned to “condition” himself to stay in shape. “Literally, I wake up. I prepare. I’m doing my whole thing,” he said. “I’m the kind of guy
that visualizes this before I do it. So, I see what I’m gonna do and I basically play it all out as if everything happened great. And then it usually does.”

The actor has also imagined scenarios “happening bad,” which “usually did” transpire afterwards, but Crews has been a longtime health advocate and has denied that he relies on steroids.

“This body has been working out for 40 years, okay? That’s all,” he said in a promotional clip for MyProtein in January. “Probably a little more than that, I started when I was 14. I’m 56 now, so, you do the math.”
