Cardio
His workout session does not include much cardio
His workout session doesn't include much cardio because he has to maintain his muscle density. This is why his diet includes very little carbohydrates and intense workouts. He spends only a few minutes doing cardio exercises and just 10 minutes on the conveyor belt. If he skips the gym, he takes his dog out for a long run which also helps him burn calories.
