NEW YORK, N.Y. -- “I work out every day,” exclaims speeding skating champ Apolo Ohno to Healthy Hollywood!
Apolo
adds, “I’ve been an athlete most of my life and on a disciplined
schedule. Working out for me is just part of my every day.”
The
eight-time Olympic medalist might have hung up his skates, but not his
passion for staying fit. “My ‘go to’ workout is called the Asylum from
Beach Body. It’s intense training with lots of intervals, core work.
It’s hard! I travel a lot, so I can take it on the road with me and do
it in a hotel room. Lately, I’m also really into lifting weights. I
could never focus on my upper body as a skater, so I’m enjoying having
symmetrical upper and lower body muscle.”
Healthy
Hollywood caught up with Apolo at the Subway fitness event to launch
their new Subway FitPacks, which is a symbol of the restaurants
dedication to health and wellness. At the New York City event, Apolo led
a workout session for the media, which included the weight workout
FlyBarre and surfboard exercise Surfset.
“As
for Surfset, loved it. Great sport, great athletes, loved the core
strength element involved. That was the idea of the event to encourage
people to exercise and eat right,” adds Apolo.
While
Apolo won’t be competing in February’s Winter Olympics, he will have a
special role in Sochi. He’s going to be a correspondent for NBC. “I’m
really enjoying this new role – being the one behind the microphone and
the one asking the questions and steering the conversation. It’s
rewarding to help bring out the best person, whether it’s their story as
an athlete or their personality on a network show. I’m into it and hope
to do a lot more.”
First up though, Apolo is hosting the Game Show Network’s “Minute to Win It.”
“This
was my first ‘hosting’ role and it was intense and a lot of work but I
loved it! Broadcasting is definitely in my cards for the future and I’m
determined to work hard at it – to perfect it and create my style and
niche,” exclaims Apolo.
