His personal trainer Tony Bradham usually looks after his body and has devised workouts that suit his requirements and time constraints.
Bradham and Flo Rida don’t even allow regular touring to get in between his fitness goals. They hit whichever gym they can find in whatever city he is visiting. He even goes out jogging in the morning while on tour. Sometimes, when he is pressed for time, he just goes for a cardio session and a boxing workout.
Flo Rida usually works 7 days a week and sometimes, he hits the gym twice a day. His typical workout has a healthy dose of traditional exercises. Overall, the workout is a giant full-body circuit that combines compound lifts, isolation exercises, and some plyometric moves with boxing training.
He complements his workout routine with a healthy and protein-rich diet. He likes to start his day with an egg-white omelet. In case, he has missed one, he goes for a pretty big brunch that includes steak, chicken, eggs, and waffles.
He is a big fan of grilled chicken. If he is eating out, he ensures that he balances it out. For example, he might order chicken breast with vegetables to go with chicken wings.
