The reggae star makes sure to stay in the best shape possible while touring the world.
Puerto Rican reggaeton star Rauw Alejandro has a rigorous job that tasks him with multiple shows per year. To make sure he is in the best shape, both mentally and physically, Alejandro has kept up with his fitness with different routines. This includes a full-body, cardio routine that keeps him sharp on tour.
Alejandro has a schedule of exactly 62 shows during his 2025 Cosa Nuestra World Tour. While on the go, Alejandro makes sure to keep himself in a good mindset.
“For me, exercise is really important to maintain balance in your body, mentally and physically. It’s a crazy life that I’m living so it’s important to take time to goto the gym. It keeps you focused, it gives you energy, good health, and a good mood.”
To help aid in his overall goals, Rauw Alejandro makes sure to go to the gym and if he can’t make it, do workouts remote. There are many ways to get your work in while traveling.
Rauw Alejandro’s Full-Body Cardio Routine
Rauw Alejandro put together a workout that consists of five rounds. There are two exercises per round, beginning with sparring each time, and one minute of rest in between:
- Burpees: 8-10 reps
- Pull-Ups: 3 sets, 10 reps
- Kettlebell Woodchops: 3 sets, 8-10 reps each side
- Landmine Press Variations: 3 sets, 8-10 reps
- Pushups: 15-20 reps
- Core Work: 8-10 reps each
Rauw Alejandro makes sure to hit the body as a whole in many ways, including core work at the end. There is one staple to his workouts and that is starting off with burpees.
“If you do burpees in the morning, you’ll fight the burpees and you’re not going to fight with anyone else during the day.”
There are a total of five rounds during this workout and he begins each one with sparring. His routines are Muay-Thai inspired as he has been practicing for about five years now.
