Fast Fitness: Shawn Mendes’ Workout Routine
Most celebrity news is measured in its entertainment value. After all, most of us aren’t going to go buy a $50 million mansion, or hop on a private jet for a dinner date with Bon Jovi. However, every so often, we get to spotlight the fitness philosophy of a Magic artist, which in most cases everyone can go out and practice with a cheap gym membership.
Shawn Mendes’ transformation from skinny to ripped was recently spotlighted in Men’s Health Australia:
- He trains with a partner. Granted, he trains with Charlie Puth. You don’t need Charlie to find someone to motivate you in the gym, though (and to get to the gym in the first place).
- He has a good mix of weights, cardio and rest. He follows a typical “split” workout that includes weights and 20-25 minutes of cardio at 50-75 percent of his maximum pace:
- Monday: Legs.
- Tuesday: Chest and abs.
- Wednesday: Active rest (e.g. yoga or light resistance training).
- Thursday: Back.
- Friday: Shoulders.
- Saturday: Arms and calves.
- Sunday: Rest.
- He follows a low-fat and low-carbohydrate diet. Like all of us, however, he does enjoy his favorite foods in moderation.
