Jason Momoa’s Workout Routine
Weekly Routine
Inspired by Nature
Momoa’s routine is varied and even fun. He loves to exercise outside. Climbing, hill sprints, surfing, skateboarding, boxing, they all give him time to think, focus and start his day off right.
Cardio Is King
The most important muscle is your heart, Momoa says. That’s why he likes to get it pumping early in the day. He often gets up at 5 a.m. to exercise so he has time to himself before his kids wake up.
Serious Work Ethic
