In a statement to PEOPLE, Jelly shared he’s been hard at work on a healthier lifestyle and is starting to notice a difference. “I’m probably down 70-something pounds," he told PEOPLE. "I've been really kicking ass, man. I'm doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. I'm doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I'm eating healthy right now."

He continued, “I feel really good. I was thinking, I plan on losing another 100, 100-and-something [pounds]. If I feel this good down this weight, man, I can only imagine what I'm going to feel like by the time I go on tour."

Part of the 39-year-old’s new workout routine includes walking, which has inspired him to participate in his first 5k come May.

"As long as I'm training for this thing, I'm just shedding weight. I've been eating crazy good, so I'm excited," he shared in a video posted to Instagram in January. “I’m definitely going to get the 3.1 miles done — probably a brisk power walk," he said. "My goal is to be able to do a 15-minute mile."

Jelly is signed up to tackle the 2 Bears 5K taking place May 7 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
