My morning route

Wake up around 630, quick coffee and head to the gym. I like to have morning gym sessions that mainly consists around compound lifting. I like to finish my sessions with a cold plunge - there is no better way to feel sharp for the day than cold therapy. Then it is time for work!

My health hacks

Staying hydrated is key! Keep a reusable water bottle at your desk to ensure you're sipping throughout the day. Hydration supports focus, energy, and overall well-being. #HydrationHabit #HealthyWorkLife

What I like to eat

Boosting productivity through a high-protein diet - I fuel my workdays with lean proteins like chicken, tofu, and nuts, providing sustained energy and focus for peak performance.

What I avoid to eat

In my pursuit of wellness, I consciously steer clear of processed and fast foods. Opting instead for whole, natural ingredients fuels both my body and mind. Prioritizing fresh produce and home-cooked meals not only supports my health goals but also enhances my energy levels and overall vitality

My exercise plan

Balancing strength and hypertrophy, I embrace a dynamic gym routine. With a focused 4-day lifting split alternating between power and hypertrophy. I Integrate two lower-body and two upper-body days, I strive for comprehensive development. Beyond the gym, I elevate my activity by ensuring a high step count aiming to exceed 12000 steps a day.

My skincare routine

I start and end my day with a gentle cleanser to rid my skin of impurities. Incorporating a hydrating moisturizer with SPF shields my skin from environmental stressors. Twice a week, I exfoliate to remove dead skin cells and encourage renewal. Consistency and quality products tailored to my skin type are the cornerstones of my skincare regimen, ensuring a confident, fresh-faced appearance every day.
