Three-time NBA Finals<\/a> MVP Shaquille O’Neal is making his health a priority.<\/p>\n

O’Neal, who turned 51 this year, detailed his recent 55-pound weight loss. He now weighs 351 pounds, but he is still working to shed more weight.<\/p>\n

“I’m probably gonna get between 315 and 330,” the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> legend told “Entertainment Tonight,” adding that he wants to eventually “have a 12-pack.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve got a five-pack now, so I\u2019ve got seven more packs to go because I want to take my shirt off on Instagram,” O’Neal joked.<\/p>\n

He noted that his struggle to walk up stairs prompted his recent weight loss<\/a> journey.<\/p>\n

“I was getting chubby and couldn\u2019t even walk up the stairs. I didn\u2019t like the way I looked in the mirror. I was like, ‘I’m gonna lose 20,’ and then I was trying to lose 20.”<\/p>\n

O’Neal recently took to social media to share a video of his progress. An Instagram video<\/a> showed the Pro Basketball Hall of Famer ripping off a tank top and flexing his muscles.<\/p>\n

American bodybuilder Phil Heath was tagged in O’Neal’s Instagram post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“In my former life, I was @philheath we almost there @rocshabazz that @novexbiotech #gf9 baby,” Shaq wrote in the post.<\/p>\n

O’Neal spoke to People magazine in March around the time he reached the 40-pound weight loss mark. He spoke about learning how to take his health more seriously following his retirement from the NBA.<\/p>\n

“I wish I would’ve paid more attention to it. I was such a mental warrior that none of this stuff mattered to me,” O’Neal said. “I didn’t really take it seriously until I looked in the mirror six, seven years after I retired. I looked terrible. I had no definition and, basically, I was fat. I was really fat.”<\/p>\n

O’Neal said he is still doing cardio multiple days a week in addition to weight training<\/a>. He returned to the gym earlier this year following hip replacement surgery.<\/p>\n

“bout to get my game back alll you old dudes that hoop in @24hrfitness @lafitness @lifetimefitness i\u2019m coming for yall,” he captioned a social media video<\/a> of himself in a gym and walking with a crutch after the hip procedure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
