How does a busy congressman maintain peak physical condition while juggling DC politics and constant travel? In this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Jennifer Cohen is joined by Congressman Wesley Hunt as he breaks down his unconventional approach to fitness and nutrition that keeps him razor-sharp.

We dive into his extreme intermittent fasting protocol, his massive one-meal-a-day strategy, and why he never schedules breakfast meetings. Hunt also shares his strategic workout split, 10,000-steps-a-day commitment, and how he stays disciplined with his three-days-on, one-day-off lifting routine even during hectic congressional schedules.

Wesley Hunt represents Congressional District 38 in Houston, Texas. A West Point graduate and former Apache helicopter pilot, Hunt served eight years in the Army before entering politics. He currently serves on the House Judiciary and Natural Resources committees.

What we discuss:

  • 20-hour intermittent fasting and one-meal-a-day protocol
  • Eating 33-ounce steaks and whole chickens in single sittings
  • 10,000 steps daily through strategic treadmill and walking
  • Three-day workout split: legs, chest/triceps, back/biceps
  • Why he avoids breakfast meetings and alcohol
