According to BoxLife, the Orlando-born artist began focusing on exercises only at the age of seven. By the time he was in his 20s, he had mastered many divisions and earned black belts.

• Wednesday: flexibility through martial arts, kickboxing drills, and he combines with yoga flow, and stretching
• Thursday: upper-body movements including triceps extensions, dips, bicep curls, bent-over rows, and overhead press, among others
• Friday: explosive power and martial arts, including medicine ball slams, sprint intervals, box jumps, plyometric push-ups, and pad work
• Saturday: recovery and core movements such as swimming, cycling, and core stability work.
• Sunday: rest.

• Functional strength is more important than size
