Personal Trainer

Unlike many athletes and professional sports players who would usually go through immense workouts and diets just to stay fit, healthy, and be able to achieve their weight goals, Kelly Slater has it the other way around. He’s not much into gym workout and indoor training, instead, he spends most of his time doing his kind of workout on the waves. Slater, who holds an unmatched record of 11 surfing championships, is an absolute sports enthusiast who also plays boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, golfing, and does yoga, which means he doesn’t actually need to be a gym rat to stay fit because his love for sports will naturally do the work to keep him in shape and healthy.

In addition to his workout parameters, Slater focuses more on harnessing strength and making sure he listens to his body before hitting his next surfing competition. After that, he typically allots 2 weeks off the waves to let his body recover.

As for his diet routine, he’s an advocate of “clean” and “mindful” eating and his usual diet is often based on fresh homemade meals. He usually starts the day with a cup of hot tea topped with lemon and honey to detoxify the body. By the looks of his Instagram, Slater is definitely a healthy eater. He likes to have chia seeds, kimchi, and bee pollen on most of his diet, and, he avoids to keep too much caffeine in his body so he prefers to drink kombucha tea, a Chinese tea with an array of health benefits. Slater also likes to zip fresh juices all throughout the day, so he tends to often make his own vegan smoothies paired with fruits, greens, almond milk, sprouts, and chia seeds.
