My No. 1 concern of that was <em>don\u2019t pull a hamstring.<\/em> It doesn\u2019t matter what I run, the slower the time the better really.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons the bit worked is that the 41-year-old Manning has a baby face, and with the right makeup could actually pass for someone in his 20s. As far as the secrets of his youthful looks, he revealed that he does have a skincare routine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI put some facial moisturizer on every morning. It\u2019s a habit of having dry skin; I\u2019ve been doing it since I was 13 years old and had bad acne. I was washing my face so much that it got dry, so I had to use a little skin lotion.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He also said that he gets ample rest \u2014 falling asleep quickly, and usually sleeping for \u201cat least\u201d 7 1\/2 hours a night.<\/p>\n<p>Two people Manning wanted to shout out after the success of the Chad Powers bit were producers Tim Rumpff and Steve Menzel from NFL Films, who have helped him brainstorm ideas and write scripts for the show. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey put me in the frame of mind to be myself \u2014 but also see the big picture of what we want to do,\u201d Manning said.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
