IT TAKES A lot of energy to perform 62 times per year.

But that’s exactly what reggaeton artist Rauw Alejandro has to do during his 2025 Cosa Nuestra World Tour. But this is about more than just that tour. To give the best show possible, he has to be in his very best shape all year round.

“For me, [exercise] is really important to maintain balance in your body, mentally and physically,” he says. “It’s a crazy life that I’m living, so it’s important to take time to go to the gym. It keeps you focused, it gives you energy, good health, and a good mood.”

He has to stay adaptable while on tour, since his schedule is ever-changing. When he’s able to get his sweat in in the morning, he has one rule: always do the burpees first.

“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,” he says.

He also likes to pepper in some Muay Thai-inspired sparring into his workouts—a practice he’s been doing for about 5 years now. The rhythm of the sport helps him keep beat throughout his performances, he says, so he does a one-minute round of hitting in between every exercise.

Alejandro utilizes full body workouts to get a good overall burn every time he’s in the gym. Here’s the cardio-heavy workout that keeps him physically, and mentally, healthy.
