However, presently, the weatherman consistently exceeds 10,000 steps per day.

Roker attributed his success to his 25-year-old daughter, Leila Roker, and his 63-year-old wife, Deborah Roberts.

"A year ago, I was struggling after getting home from the hospital. This week marks 60 days in a row of 10k+ steps a day," Roker captioned.

“Been a long road with a lot of folks helping me along the way. @debrobertsabc and @cleilapatra leading the charge,” Roker added.
