\u201cI took my walk today, everybody was fantastic,\u201d Barkley said as an image of him lifting a chair over his head was showed on the broadcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomebody took a picture of me doing my exercises. I\u2019m picking up a chair, I do sets of 25. I was down on the river walk. I\u2019m sorry I was down on the creek walk. That\u2019s a creek, that\u2019s not a river.\u201d<\/p>\n
San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz, who appeared on \u201cNBA Tip-Off,\u201d disagreed, telling Barkley that she is proud of the river walk, which is the top tourist spot in the state.<\/p>\n
Ortiz also chided Barkley over his previous remarks \u2014 when he said that San Antonio is the home of \u201csome big ol\u2019 women\u201d while on-air in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned a long time ago, you can\u2019t teach courage. You can\u2019t teach class,\u201d Ortiz said. \u201cAnd Mr. Barkley reminds us of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barkley laughed and added that he\u2019s \u201cjust joking around.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI started at 355 [pounds] and I\u2019m 270 now,\u201d Barkley said on the \u201cSI Media with Jimmy Traina\u201d last month<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long journey\u2026 this drug Zepbound has changed my life and I feel better now than I have in 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charles Barkley made time for an outdoor workout while on his work trip to San Antonio for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":322246,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82194,28176,6537,115354,82,84,83,20943],"class_list":["post-322245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-charles-barkley","tag-knicks","tag-nba-finals","tag-outdoor-workout","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news","tag-san-antonio-river-walk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
