Personal trainer

Luke is very committed to the intense workout regime, which he believes keeps him in his professional commitments. He is a big fan of kung fu training and even managed to earn a black belt in it.

However, kung fu is not the only training discipline he relies on to keep his body in shape.

When it comes to workouts, he primarily trains with bodyweight. He also doesn’t mind practicing weightlifting every now and then.

While traveling he works out in his room and when he has some free time he doesn’t mind going to the hotel’s gym.

Along with martial arts training and other workouts, he has also made running an important part of his fitness routine. However, he never runs for more than 20 minutes. And he prefers running on the treadmill to running outdoors because it allows him to view stats and also set specific goals.
