HOME WORKOUTS ARE THE WAVE… RIGHT?

Fashion Model and Fitness Enthusiast Fabian Johnson took a break in between sets to let us know how he’s working out post lockdown.

Inform us on how you plan on keeping fit during this time.

I don’t want to have a mindset that life is on pause because it’s far from that.

What does your diet look like at the moment?

I try and keep calories lower than usual as I’m not able to go to the gym and train the way I normally could before these circumstances came around.

I start the day with 500ml Of water, lemon ginger tea, and my vitamins.

Then I go out and train which is also when I’ve been putting out the self isolation workout videos.

After having 4 eggs scrambled, veg with cinnamon raisin bagels with protein powder and almond milk, I put oats in also (I know, a mad combination).

Then following with tuna, veg, and avocado which fills me for a while whilst still keeping calories low.

Towards the afternoon I would have probably had a protein bar and some fruit. Then I’ll have chicken (change the flavour every day) avocado and more veg which I try to have with most meals.

I’ll probably have another shake before bed if I’m hungry. Good if you're wanting to keep protein high during these times to not lose muscle whilst keeping lean which is key for me as a model.

How are you approaching your training split whilst training at home?

I’ve been trying to hit every body part as I have still been scheduling shoots over the past few days, so I didn’t want any body parts getting missed because of this.

My workouts will hit the key parts, which are chest arms, legs and core. And then, of course, this being high reps to promote hypertrophy, followed by some cardio which most of the time is skipping as I feel the most lean when I skip, which is key for me.

How are you adjusting to this sudden change?

I’m not gonna lie, it’s been difficult. I hate not being in my normal routine:

Shooting
Gym
Sending Emails
Seeing friends etc.

But I’m taking the positives and doing whatever I can to level up in this time period and plan for what I need to do for things to go back to normal.

Messages I’m receiving shows how this is affecting everyone… I’m receiving a lot of love from all over! Many are saying they needed the info I’m putting out. It’s crazy to see such an impact through socials.
