John Cena, who had a background as a bodybuilder, detailed his workout routine at age 44

WWE has seen a fair share of legends, however, a few of them have made their mark in the industry. WWE legends such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, The Rock, Hulk Hogan and John Cena are among those rare legends.

Stars such as Hulk Hogan, The Rock, and John Cena weren’t even professional wrestlers before breaking into WWE and came from a variety of backgrounds. While Cena was a competitive bodybuilder, The Rock was a soccer player, and Hulk Hogan was an up-and-coming musician.

A few months ago, John Cena took part in an interview with GQ, where he revealed his diet, workout routine, and even what a typical day looks like for him. Speaking during the interview, Cena revealed his quality coaching.

From an early age, Cena started lifting weights. He even ventured into the world of competitive bodybuilding in his early twenties. However, he would soon switch gears and enter professional wrestling. Changing careers proved extremely profitable for him.

Just months before Cena turned 45, he revealed his training in his interview. cena said, “I would start with a 15-minute cardiovascular warm-up, then probably an hour of physical training with weights, which would include compound movements, Olympic weightlifting and power movements.”

Cena, then 44, further revealed how he still does the same exercises he did before. However, with much lighter weights. He also revealed how he does stretches and yoga because it helps him walk. Although he is now 45, Cena is still much healthier than many of his colleagues.

John Cena talks about his yoga practice

In the same interview, the 16-time world champion also brought up the practice of yoga, and he got it. He revealed that he made a movie with legendary actor Jackie Chan a few years ago. And that’s when he took up stretching.

cena said, “I say yoga because it’s the closest thing to it, but it’s like a stretching routine.” He said that although stretching caused him to lose a lot of his gains, it instead made him more flexible, and the experience was life-changing.

The Cenation leader said, “In yoga, the concept is that you have to be present because we are going to stretch you further than you think. If you are afraid, then you are tense. You need to be relaxed and present.” He said his routine helps him deal with whatever life throws at him.
