Robbie Naish Gym Workouts

From the beginning the age of 13 to till now, Robbie hasn’t gone to the gym to stay in shape. Surprisingly the 24 times world champion doesn’t have a personal trainer at all.

In fact, Robbie Naish’s workouts and principles are different from modern windsurfing athletes. Robby believes that anything excess isn’t good for the human body.

Robby Naish’s fitness starts in his living rooms. He mostly preferred home workouts instead of going to the gym. He does certain workouts throughout the day whenever he feels.

Naish says he does several hundred pushups, pull-ups, and sit-ups separated by five minutes sets.

Furthermore, he uses desk chairs for curl exercises along with some TRX workouts and jumps rope exercises for cardio. From the beginning of his windsurfing career, Robby Naish sticks to the same workouts to stay in shape.

The primary factor of Naish’s workout is his discipline. Whether he is in his office or hotel room, Robby makes sure to do most of the above-mentioned workouts every day whenever he has time.

This could be the main reason that separates Robby Naish from other Athletes.

Another jaw-dropping fact is that Naish hardly drinks water. He calls himself a camel and stated that he drinks only a gallon of water for a week.

During competitions, most athletes eat a lot of food at halftime to keep them going and to maintain good energy levels.

But Robby Naish is different, his diet during competitions includes Red Bull and a very moderate quantity of foods for breakfast and lunch with little snacks throughout the day.

Robby is very conscious of what he eats and doesn’t eat a lot during the day and consumes a bigger meal only at dinner as a recovery meal.

Naish’s secret is “The less you consume at the end of the day, the more energy you have” and weirdly it works for Naish in windsurfing sports.
