Are you doing full boxing workouts too, like Rocky, jumping rope and running in a hoodie and all that stuff?<\/p>\n
I jump rope every day, 10 minutes non-stop as a warmup, then the box jump. I hit the bag for 10 minutes, the double end bag, and water bag for uppercuts. Then we get in the ring, we go about five to seven rounds, and then we go and hit a weightlifting workout afterwards. I mean, we probably burn about 3,000 calories a day. That\u2019s why I\u2019m eating 4,000. I probably need to eat more! I built kind of a compound, so we have a lot of space. I have a barn up on top of my house, got all my stuff up there.<\/p>\n
During your fitness journey, have you tried anything and were immediately like, \u201cActually, I don\u2019t like this. Let\u2019s find something else?\u201d<\/p>\n
Not yet, but they\u2019re trying to get me into Pilates. I\u2019m down to try it. I wouldn\u2019t mind being mic\u2019d, because I know it\u2019s going to hurt me. I\u2019m not an ego person, so it\u2019d be funny to watch it.<\/p>\n
Are you into running?<\/p>\n
Yeah, I was running a lot whenever I was doing the bodybuilding stuff, just because I was trying to shred off all the fat on me. After that first mile, I can go pretty long. Then I got out of it and then just got into incline walking because like I said, my knees hurting, and running is bad on your knees. But I did a blood test and it said that I was a marathon runner, which I never thought.<\/p>\n
You think you\u2019d ever actually run a marathon?<\/p>\n
Hell no. The longest I\u2019ve ever ran personally was last year. It was six miles and I just kept trying to beat my time. I kept saying like 8:20, and I got all the way down to like 6:15. Bro, my body was showing me different things that it\u2019s never shown me. Running does crazy things to you.<\/p>\n
For you\u2014sleep, hydration, recovery\u2014are there any things that you really swear by, or a supplement that you love?<\/p>\n
Definitely creatine. I\u2019ve been really good about my protein. I do Dymatize protein<\/a>. It\u2019s fire, just tastes so good, and it\u2019s really easy to mix. I feel like for protein shakes, for me, that was the hardest thing. You always got to get the blender out and then you got to wash it, and I do two to three protein shakes a day. So for me, the Dymatize [powder], you can just put it in a cup, stir it with a spoon, and it mixes up just fine.<\/p>\n Hydration, I will say, I have Sonic ice in my house. The Instant Hydration electrolyte packets<\/a> are what I use. I drink probably eight to 10 of those per day. I go to the bathroom a lot. And then my sauna, love my sauna<\/a>. It actually helps you in the long run for weightlifting<\/a> and gaining muscle<\/a>. Oh yeah, my sleep<\/a>. So, I have my alarm set to go to sleep. It tells me by 10 o\u2019clock. I was a gamer, but I quit gaming. My mind has changed so much. Knocking out gaming has helped, but also just getting sleep and recovering<\/a>. I didn\u2019t realize how much recovery you get when you sleep<\/a>. I try to get, minimum, eight hours a day. I\u2019ve noticed too, if I wake up\u2014say it\u2019s 5:30, 6 A.M., and I close my eyes and go back to sleep\u2014I wake up sluggish. I should just get up then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Are you doing full boxing workouts too, like Rocky, jumping rope and running in a hoodie and all…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":479610,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[93,499,426,103,61,60,36941,10698],"class_list":["post-479609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-entertainment","tag-fitness","tag-food","tag-health","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-real-life-diet","tag-working-out"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479609\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
