Every WWE era has had its defining centerpiece—from Sting and Triple H to John Cena and Roman Reigns. In the modern era, that distinction belongs to Cody Rhodes.

As the new undisputed champion makes a name for himself, one question, however, dominates fan curiosity: what is his workout routine?

Eating Habits of the Undisputed WWE Champion

Having a proper diet is quite challenging for Rhodes because he has to travel from city to city for work, but despite that, the champion does not forget to get his nutrients. While having a conversation with GQ, Rhodes expressed that for him, breakfast is the most important meal of his day.

“I’m an egg whites guy. Basic, dry wheat toast guy. I don’t really have any breakfast meat because of the sodium and added salt.“ He prefers his breakfast simple but heavy with nutrients.

Standing 6'2" (188 cm) tall and weighing around 222 lbs (101 kg), the champion needs a high caloric intake to maintain his physique. He revealed that he eats every three hours and generally opts for white meat over heavier options like Korean beef or steak.

“It’s boring, but it’s almost always white rice, grilled chicken, and Thai peanut sauce.“ It’s monotonous, but Rhodes sticks to his routine without skipping any meals. However, every star has some bad habits, and Rhodes is quite picky when it comes to vegetables.

He understands its importance, but he is quite picky. Interestingly, he and his trainers have devised ways to hide vegetables like broccoli in his meals.

What about his workout routine? The Undisputed Champion follows a simple yet effective program to keep himself as lean as possible.

His workout routine is divided into two parts: The warm-up session and the main workout session. Let’s have a detailed look at those.

Warm-Up session:

• Air Squats = 10
• Hand-Release Push-Ups = 10
• Renegade Rows = 10 (5 each side)
• Walking Lunges = 10 each leg

Main Workout Session:

3 rounds | 30 seconds rest

• Leg Extension = 12–15
• Leg Curl = 12–15
• Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown = 12–15
• Seated Row = 12–15
• Plate Press = 12–15

• Seated Shoulder Press = 12–15
• Lateral Raises = 12–15
• EZ-Bar Biceps Curl = 12–15
• Hammer Curl = 12–15

Rhodes keeps his consistency in his workouts as he believes, "Show muscles have to be go muscles, nutrition, hydration, and conditioning. The biggest thing was moving away from heavy lifting and getting into a lot of bodyweight stuff."

So, now that you know his dieting and workout habits, when are you going to incorporate them into your regimen?
