Alright, so a bunch of you have been asking about my workout routine and diet, especially after I mentioned I was trying to get in shape like Joe Rogan. Well, I took the plunge, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. I’m not going to lie, I was pretty curious about the guy’s stats. I mean, Joe Rogan is everywhere, right? From podcasts to UFC, the dude is a machine.
So, I started digging. I found out the guy is around 5’7″ or 5’8″ – he says different things. And his weight? It bounces around 185 to 190 pounds. That’s like, 84 to 86 kilos for us metric folks. But hey, I know these numbers can change all the time with training and all that.
Then I start to get into his routine. I tried to copy his workout schedule, you know, lifting weights, doing some cardio, and throwing in some yoga. Man, it was tough at first. I was sore in places I didn’t even know existed. But I stuck with it. I started feeling stronger, more energetic. And you know, my clothes started fitting better, too. That’s always a good feeling.
Diet-wise, it was a whole different ball game. I cut out a lot of junk food, started eating more lean meats, veggies, and all that good stuff. I even tried that intermittent fasting thing that Rogan talks about. It wasn’t easy, but I started seeing results. My weight started to drop, and I felt less bloated. I used to be 95kg. And I really cut down to 87kg right now! Feels great!
But here’s the thing, I also read about Rogan’s views on stuff. He’s into some interesting things, like being cool with same-sex marriage and legalizing some drugs. And he’s big on universal health care and basic income. But he’s also into gun rights and free speech. Pretty mixed bag, right? He even supported Trump in 2024, which, you know, got some people talking.
- Lift Weights: Just like Rogan, I hit the gym and started lifting. It wasn’t pretty at first, but I got the hang of it.
- Cardio: Running, biking, you name it. I was huffing and puffing, but I kept at it.
- Yoga: This one was a surprise. Stretching and holding poses? Harder than it looks. But I felt more flexible and relaxed afterward.
- Eat Clean: Bye-bye, junk food. Hello, chicken, fish, and veggies. It was a tough change, but worth it.
- Intermittent Fasting: Only eating during certain hours? Weird at first, but my body got used to it.
I’m not saying I’m turning into Joe Rogan or anything. But this whole experience has been pretty eye-opening. It’s not just about looking good, it’s about feeling good, too. And I started thinking about his views on stuff, it’s interesting how people can have such different ideas about things. It makes you think, you know?
The Takeaway
So, yeah, that’s my story. I tried to walk a mile in Joe Rogan’s shoes, at least when it comes to fitness and health. And I learned a lot about him, and about myself, along the way. It’s been a wild ride, but I’m glad I did it. And hey, if I can do it, anyone can. You just gotta put your mind to it and stick with it. And who knows, maybe you’ll learn something new about yourself, too.
