WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Eric Reid knows he’s blessed.

Blessed to have the love of “my gorgeous wife, Sonide, and our three beautiful children — Andrew, Phyllisia and Dariel.”

Blessed to have spent more than three decades working at his dream job — professional sports announcing — including the last 27 years as the lone remaining member of the Miami Heat’s original broadcast team.

And blessed to have been so healthfully influenced by his two “fitness mentors — my father, who died too young from colon cancer at 60; and my longtime Heat broadcast partner, the late, great Dr. Jack Ramsay.”

Last Saturday morning, the 57-year-old Boca Raton, Florida, resident discussed all of the above — as well as shared his own health and fitness tips — as the keynote speaker at the second annual Man Up! A Men’s Health Symposium at the Lynn Cancer Institute in Boca Raton.

Life on the road

For Reid, the biggest challenge to maintaining good fitness and nutritional habits is the long grind of a six-month, 82-game NBA regular season (throw in pre- and postseason contests and that total can easily climb to 100-plus games over anywhere from seven to nine months).

Constant traveling.

Tight schedules.

Irregular sleep.

“Every season, I typically gain 5 to 10 pounds,” says the 5-foot, 11-inch Reid, whose ideal weight is in the 175-180 range. “Then I have to work hard at losing it during the offseason.”

A lifelong athlete, Reid played pickup basketball at a local Jewish Community Center until well into his 40s.

However, “It started to become too easy to get injured, so I switched to running, which I try to do four to five times a week.”

During LeBron James’ four-year tenure with the Heat (2010-14), the club advanced to the NBA Finals every season — which meant the campaigns lasted well into June. This led to Reid both gaining more weight during the season, and having less time during the offseason to shed it.

“After the 2014 NBA Finals, I was the heaviest I’d ever been: 203 pounds.”

He felt sluggish and uncomfortable in his own body.

“I didn’t think it was fair to my kids — especially my youngest daughter, Dariel, who’s 9 — to not be at my best for them.”

Co-opting Dwyane Wade’s famous line from the 2006 NBA Finals (“I ain’t going out like this”), Reid says, “That’s when I said to myself, ‘I ain’t getting old like this!’”

Reid’s transformed his diet, cutting way down on sweets (“I love cookies,” he admits) while increasing his consumption of vegetables and lean meats.

“My wife, who’s originally from Haiti, is a great cook.”

She’s also his partner in recommitting to a healthful lifestyle.

For the past year, the Reids have been training at Raw Fitness — a boutique gym in Boca Raton.

They’ve benefited, Reid says, from “being pushed and tested” by the gym’s personal trainers.

The combination of high-intensity workouts and quality nutrition has Reid back down to his “playing weight”: 180.

And, with the 2015-16 season right around the corner, Reid is more determined than ever to maintain his trimmer physique during the season.

This means resisting the delicious gourmet meals served on the team’s charter flights to and from road games.

He gets in workouts whenever possible and uses the MyFitnessPal app on his smartphone.

And he’s always reminding himself: “It’s all about having the right mindset.”
