My single favorite full-body exercise is the deadlift. It engages the feet, ankles, posterior chain, quads, hip flexors, and abs, plus it's great for grip strength. I prefer the trap bar (a.k.a. hex bar) because it allows me to get my body into the optimal position, but a straight bar also works. Don't be tempted to load up the bar right away. Aim for quality over quantity. Beginners, don't be intimidated. Start with light weight—even an empty bar—and focus on form first. This is a movement you

My mid-morning routine is all about movement. Around 10:30 or 11 AM, I take a break to get in a workout. Most days, it’s a weightlifting session at the gym. Other days, I’ll put on a weight vest and go for a long walk. Once a week, I push myself with a high-intensity aerobic session, staying in zones 3, 4, and even touching zone 5 for up to an hour. This usually takes about 90 minutes. Another day each week, I’ll paddleboard—thanks to a board I keep on the bay side in Miami, where conditions are

People often ask about my daily routine, so here it is: I start my day around 7 AM with a big cup of coffee and two newspapers—the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. I like to get both sides of the story. Then I spend about 40 minutes doing puzzles, which has become a favorite hobby of mine. After that, I dive into work. With my new business, Peluva, I’m back in the thick of things—answering emails, meeting with my team, hopping on Zoom calls, and occasionally doing a podcast. Around 10

I’ve found that incorporating micro workouts into my routine is a game changer. One effective strategy I use is to perform five sets of 35 push-ups throughout my day. Instead of doing traditional push-ups on the floor, I lean against my kitchen counter for some elevated bench push-ups. I space these sets out, allowing for about an hour of rest in between. This way, I can fit in a full workout without the need for a gym, all while ensuring I recover properly between sets. It’s an efficient and ef

The push-up forms the foundation of the Primal Blueprint Fitness Lift Heavy Things upper body program. It’s a simple movement, but it’s arguably the best way to develop overall upper body strength and mobility. The basic push-up isn’t complicated, but it’s difficult to truly master, and the variations will keep your body guessing and growing for years. It requires zero equipment and can be scaled up or down depending on your strength level as I demonstrate here in five progressed variations. No

After a tough workout, I focus on a few key strategies to boost my recovery and adaptation. First, I lie down and elevate my legs for about 10 minutes, allowing my parasympathetic nervous system to kick in and help me relax. Then, I switch gears and move around a bit—nothing strenuous, just gentle walking to keep my body active and avoid being sedentary. I also pay attention to my nutrition, planning to refeed about four hours after my workout. It’s interesting that this delay is beneficial; by
