How do you keep your body in shape? Do you have a gym routine?

I used to then quit and now am back at it. I follow the 5 minute Adrian James workout. 300 skips and an occasional jog around my home. That’s it.

Do you watch what you eat? How is your diet like?

Why lie? I don’t. I actually don’t watch what I eat.

Interesting. How about grooming? How often do you visit your barber?

I do once a week. But if there’s an event I have to attend then I just go clean up. So I might say depending on the circumstances but once a week.

Do you go all out with your skin care regimen? Do you moisturize, exfoliate and do facials?

No I don’t. I guess I don’t have sensitive skin! Rather I think.

So what do you do for the skin?

I only apply lotion.

What are favorite brands for lotion and fragrances?

Lotion its Nivea men. Fragrance I have many preferences. Dolce and Gabanna and Lacoste for cologne.

What’s your take on grooming and fitness for men?

Well, I just think being in the  spotlight or not, every man must  make an effort to look good.

That ‘s 3 to 4 times a week.

What’s your preference? Home or gym?

Definitely gym.

So what drills do you prefer while in the gym?

I work on my legs, biceps, shoulders, triceps and the chest.

Is that like skipping or pushups?

I prefer pushups.

Do you think you eat differently?

I don’t think so. Only that I eat a lot of  body building food and also  make sure I have 3 meals a day.

Let’s talk about grooming. How often do you see your barber?

I visit the barber twice a month.

What do you do for your skin? Do you do facials?

I don’t. I guess my skin is naturally good. However I shower with Dove. It helps me fore go that hectic grooming routine.

What are your favorite brands?

Apart from Dove for shower gel, I can’t get enough of Dior fragrances.

What’s your take on grooming and fitness for men?

It’s upon every man to stay in good shape and look good. It’s a lot of work but trust me it’s worth it.
