Country star Jelly Roll, who has undergone a remarkable weight loss transformation, plans to conquer a 13.1-mile half-marathon next year after successfully completing his first 5K.
Country music star Jelly Roll is setting his sights on a new physical challenge: completing a half-marathon. The 39-year-old singer, who has embarked on an inspiring weight loss journey, recently completed his first 5K (3.1 miles) and now aspires to conquer the longer distance next year.
Jelly Roll shared his ambitious goal with Fox News Digital, explaining that he envisions an "18-month process" of training for the 13.1-mile race. Before tackling the half-marathon, he intends to participate in several shorter 5K races to build up his endurance and stamina.
The "Need a Favor" singer's determination stems from his remarkable weight loss transformation. He has shed 50 to 75 pounds and continues to lose weight, attributing his progress to a combination of diet and exercise.
Jelly Roll's fitness journey began in January when he accepted the 2 Bears 5K challenge, inspired by comedians Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura. At the time, he was unable to walk a mile, but through consistent training, he reached his goal of completing the 5K on May 7 at the Rose Bowl.
Jelly Roll described the experience as "incredible," acknowledging the support he received from friends and family, including his wife, Bunnie Xo. He also recognized the physical and mental challenges he faced during the race, but ultimately expressed a sense of accomplishment and pride.
Jelly Roll's health journey has not been without its setbacks. In 2018, he revealed that he weighed over 500 pounds in 2015. Through hard work and dedication, he lost 200 pounds, but he continues to battle his weight.
Despite the challenges, Jelly Roll remains optimistic and driven. He has shown his determination to maintain a healthy lifestyle and pursue his fitness goals. The upcoming half-marathon is a testament to his resilience and commitment to self-improvement.
In addition to his fitness pursuits, Jelly Roll has also achieved success in his music career. He recently won his first Academy of Country Music Award for music event of the year for his collaboration with Lainey Wilson on "Save Me."
Jelly Roll's inspiring story serves as a reminder that it is never too late to make positive changes in one's life. Through determination, perseverance, and the support of loved ones, anyone can overcome obstacles and achieve their goals, both physically and professionally.
