Herman Edwards, the 51 year old head coach of the New York Jets, must want to start playing again! (Maybe not a bad idea, considering the way the Jets are playing.) Here’s his personal workout routine "Just for my health." He starts it at 5 am and it takes 90 minutes. Edwards is 6’2" and weighs 195 pounds. Plenty of NFL coaches look like they never turn down a meal and haven’t run 20 yards in the past 20 years<\/p>\n
