O’Neal’s answer was equally surprising and humorous. “I wanna become a sex symbol,” O’Neal said. “So I've been working out, and I posted a pic couple weeks ago and it went viral. And I was like, man. So I’ve been really, really working out." View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Paul then asked O’Neal what kind of picture he posted. O’Neal said it was a shirtless pic. Paul asked if it was photoshopped. This prompted O’Neal to bring up the photo on his phone to prove it was real. O’Neal went more in-depth on his motivations to get in shape while taking a humorous dig at his “Inside the NBA” co-host Charles Barkley. “I like to create crazy motivation," O'Neal said. "Cause I was looking at myself, and I had that Charles Barkley retirement body. I didn't want my stomach to be over the belt anymore. So I was like, let me go ahead and get slim." “I was 401 pounds. Now I'm 365. I'm trying to take it back to 345. And I wanna have muscles everywhere. And I wanna do underwear ads with my sons."

In a “Gym & Fridge” interview with Men's Health last year, O’Neal joked about how hard it was to achieve his fitness goals. "My least favorite part of working out is if I have to run on the treadmill. I can't run anymore, and it's sad! I used to be the greatest athlete ever, and now I have to walk on the treadmill!” O’Neal said. “It's so embarrassing in the gym when you see the young guys putting on the high speeds and they got their pretty form ... And I'm just on the treadmill, just walking. Sad! But I'm going to get it back." O’Neal also mentioned his diet, saying it’s “not as fun as it used to be."
