Tom Hanks and his wife exercise together.
The ‘Saving Mr. Banks’ actor was diagnosed with Type II diabetes last year, and since then, he and spouse Rita Wilson have made health and fitness their priority.
Rita told People: "We’ve really cut back a lot on sugar, and we find time in every day to exercise. We actually walk and hike together. We’re not going to be doing duo, tantric yoga, or whatever.
"When [you] were younger, you used to watch what you eat and exercise because you wanted to look really awesome, and now it’s because you want to feel really awesome."
The couple recently celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary and can’t believe they have been together for so long.
Rita added: "Sadly, on our actual anniversary, Tom was away working. But we celebrated the week before. It was so amazing. We kept just saying it to each other, ‘Seriously? 26 years? Where did it go? It’s gone so fast.’ "
Tom previously admitted he had been advised by doctors he could control the condition – which occurs when the body doesn’t produce enough insulin to function properly – if he lost weight.
He explained: ”It’s controllable through diet. My doctor said, ‘If you can weight what you weighed in high school, you’ll essentially be completely healthy and not have type 2 diabetes.’ And I said, ‘Well I’m going to have type 2 diabetes then.’ ”
