He usually starts his workout by getting on the treadmill for a 10 minutes warm-up. He follows it up with a full body workout. The focus is on doing high reps for each exercise and maintaining a high intensity throughout. If he can’t hit the gym, he tries to do a half an hour workout at his home.
When it comes to nutrition, he is not crazy about dieting. He just tries to watch what he eats and makes sure that he indulges in his guilty pleasures in moderation. Immediately after working out, he eats tuna with a jacket potato. He also eats a lot of chicken and veggies. The overall focus is on eating as much protein as possible.
