Miguel's workout regimen and diet to stay in shape

Miguel is one incredibly talented artiste.

On top of that he is also one incredibly fit guy. I remember looking at one of his videos and being flabbergasted. I’ve never seen anyone in such shape before.

We would all like to look as good as he does. In pursuit to learn how the guy got a body like that. I did a little homework and found out what his workout regimen and diet is.

First thing he focuses on before he gets a good workout in for the day is his mental health. Meditating for a good 20-30 minutes before he gets to work. Meditating is a great way to get your mind in the right place and prepare you for the rest of the day. Mental fitness is just important as physical fitness. Take some time off from everyone and meditate for a minute.

Once that’s done, he gets a good warm up in with a cardio row. Rowing is great cardio for working muscular and increasing cardiovascular endurance. It tightens your core, arms, back, chest and can burn up to 600-800 calories an hour. He does his cardio while in intermittent fasting. He doesn’t eat anything before his workouts. For 8 hours in a day he’ll have his regular meals but for the reminder of the day (16 hours) he doesn’t eat anything. Intermittent fasting is a great way to restrict your calorie intake.

HIIT (High Interval Intensity Training) is a form of training he uses. It’s basically a workout where for example, you are on a 30 minute jog and for 1 minute you would sprint and for 1 minute you would walk. Before he used to work out consistently for 6 days in a week but now his focus is on maintaining his body weight and his works outs are based on getting a daily routine and consistency working out for about 5 days a week.

Fat is one of your best friends when it comes to your health

For him, the best equipment to use in the gym is the kettle bell which is perfect for swings and squats. Sometimes if he doesn’t have the time say he’s on tour, he would use the skip rope as cardio.

His diet mostly consists of plant based (vegan) diet and the Keto (Ketogenic) diet which mostly consists of 75% fat in your food. He avoids dairy products and uses almond milk as a substitute which is naturally low in calories just. Make sure you have the unsweetened kind of almond milk if you purchase it for it’s health benefits. And he drinks plenty of water.
