(TV) How Alden Richards Maintains his Cosmo Body and Healthy Lifestyle


Fresh from his recent teleserye One True Love, GMA Artist Center talent Alden Richards now takes on a new challenge. Being one of hottest young bachelors out there, it was only natural that he be invited to strut his stuff at the recently held Cosmopolitan Bachelor Bash. But along with his boyish good looks came a lot of hard work and preparation. Because as we all know, failure to prepare is preparing to fail.

Yesterday, we visited him at Golds Gym Timog and he shared about his routines. Physically, his aim was to be the best-looking Alden Richards his fans could be truly proud of. His trainer’s goal for him was to lose excess fat, beef up his upper body, and maintain good posture. This was achieved through a rigorous daily routine of 15-20 minutes of jumping rope as often as he can, even in-between taping schedules.

I think I got some tips too on working on my tummy. Aside from that, he made sure to incorporate 20-30 minutes of running in his routine for additional cardio. To develop core strength and fitness, Alden supplemented his workout routine with abdominal exercises. This includes 20-30 reps of hanging leg raises, abdominal rollers, ball crunches, planks, pikes and side bends.

He also shared that months prior to the event, his personal trainer and nutritionist limited Alden to a calorie intake of only 3,100 kCal per day. This meant that he had to eat 5-6 small meals per day, spread out over 2-3 hour intervals. This diet was not only about losing weight but also being healthy. A complete balance of protein, carbohydrates, fruits and fiber was recommended, while at the same time avoiding soda, ice tea, and salty chips. This diet also required him to stay hydrated throughout the day. But to make things fun, he was allowed one “cheat day” to eat anything he wanted. Because he wanted to stick to his new lifestyle, he made a conscious effort to stick to only one cheat day per week. This was quite a sacrifice for the young actor, but he discovered that it was well worth it when droves of fans cheered for him at the Cosmo Bachelor Bash.

Alden is committed, passionate, and disciplined in anything that he does. It not only shows through his breakthrough roles and performances, but in every aspect of his life.
