Adam Sandler sees it when his daughters Sadie, 18, and Sunny, 15 — whom he shares with wife Jackie Sandler — encourage him to take his health seriously.“They always look out for me and my health just like I used to with my dad,” Sandler told People on Tuesday. “You go, ‘Man, I want this guy around,’ so I used to scream at my dad to quit smoking, and my kids scream at me to just calm down and try to eat a little more like a normal person.”Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time the 57-year-old’s kids have weighed in on his wellness habits.Sandler revealed on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast earlier this month that his workout routine dwindled as the years went by.“I used to take working out so serious … and now I can’t f–king do it,” he admitted to host Joe Rogan. “I play hoop and then I eat,” he went on. “Every time I’m eating I’m going, ‘What are you doing, man?

You don’t need to do this.’ I can’t stop, just got a little bit of thickness all over.”However, it’s not as easy for the comedian to get back into the routine these days.

Sandler even shared that Sadie wanted him to start working with the same trainer he had while filming the 2008 film “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.”“Now it’s f–king rough,” he confessed about getting into shape. “My kids, one daughter, Sadie’s always saying, ‘Dad, get the trainer from the Zohan.

Why would you ever give that up? Why did you stop?'”As Sandler told his eldest child, “It’s a lot of work.”“I just can’t get back in there,” Sandler said. “She’s right about everything [but] I don’t promise her.
