Exercise regimen: I train at the gym four to five times a week. My training split is as such: back on Monday, chest and shoulders on Tuesday, legs on Thursday, a filler workout on Friday and arms on Saturday. I do minimal to no cardio because my workouts are high-intensity and I sweat buckets.
Diet: I count my macros and track what I eat. I vary the amount depending on my performance in training and how I look. During the off-season, I will usually eat beef and chicken breasts. I keep my diet to about 70 per cent clean and three to four cheat meals a week. When I'm in the season of leaning out, I will change my protein source to just fish. I do believe in taking supplements such as protein shakes, but eating real food is the way to go if you want to achieve a great physique.

Exercise regimen: Boxing and hot yoga once or twice a week, high-intensity interval and strength training once a week. I walk everywhere. If I need to be at a location that is 15 to 20 minutes away, I always opt to walk or use an oBike. I recently participated in the Asics relay half-marathon and implemented a long-distance running training regimen which was a great workout.
Diet: To prepare for fashion week last October as well as training for the run in November, I tried a vegan diet for 30 days. It changed my palette; I do not crave dairy or meat nor do I want it as regularly as before. I now go for vegan and vegetarian options as often as possible.
