How This Ripped TV Host Stays Fit On a Caribbean Island

How This TV Host Stays Fit

Since I’ve been riffing about 47-year-old actor, Joe Manganiello (considered one of Men’s Health 100 fittest men of all time), here’s another revealing story:

Currently he’s the host of Deal Or No Deal Island which is a show where contestants compete for cash prizes in the triple-digit heat of the Caribbean. Now some hosts might be tempted to just enjoy paradise and focus solely on hosting the show.

Not Manganiello.

Leading up the show, he brought his trainer Ron Mathews to the island to keep attacking his fitness goals. He also had adjustable dumbbells and 45-pound weight plates shipped to the island.

While we don’t all have the luxury of having a trainer follow us to a tropical island or ship dumbbells to our destination, there’s a mindset here we can all utilize. In fact, it’s a mindset I’ve noticed the most successful clients I’ve worked with possess.

They are flexible in their pursuit of fitness goals.

They don’t wait for calm waters; they get better at riding the waves of life. They know sometimes they will have the choice to work out of their home gym but other times they might be in a hotel room using bands… a TRX suspension trainer… or their body weight.

Heck, they might find a local park if they need to.

In essence, they develop a level of flexibility that allows them to keep making progress no matter the circumstances. No matter the environment. And they bring the essential tools they need when traveling… going on road trips… or crunched for time.

Their workout intensity and frequency may drop – but they still manage at least a workout or two over their trip (which is more than what most people get on vacation).

Whatever the challenge, ‘change of season’ or event, ask yourself:

How can I adapt my fitness program to keep moving forward? Or despite the obstacles how can I keep moving forward?

If you keep this mindset in mind, you will continue to find more and more ways to keep going... to keep moving forward… until you hit a level where you become unstoppable in your pursuit of next level fitness.

And you don’t need to wait until you have a traveling personal trainer like Manganiello to do so.
