He keeps refueling himself every three hours and he makes sure to eat the right kind of food.5. According to him, the most important thing to build a body is to lead a disciplined lifestyle. Fitness has been a constant in his life. He feels that cheating on your diet or workout routine is the worst thing to do to your body. 6. In one of his interviews for Men's Health, John advises men to concentrate on toning and strengthening their legs which are often ignored while people concentrate more on building biceps. The bottom-line is that you need to focus on having a proportionate body. You need to have a good balance. 
 7. One of the most important things he suggests to have a fit body is to have your meals on time.  Take out time, stop what you are doing and enjoy your meals when you’re supposed to. 8. Good food, good exercise and good sleep make a tripod stand that you need to lead a fit life. Without one, you tend to tumble. Exercise constantly or play a sport and do a lot of core exercises. You must also get at least 7 hours of sleep every night to be active and energetic the next day. Healthiness is a sign of what you eat and how you live your life. Well said, John.
