Alex Rodriguez’s Success Mantra: Slowing Down to Speed Up

The former MLB superstar-turned-entrepreneur-and-sports analyst, A-Rod, is known for being adamant about managing his personal time. For Rodriguez, fitness has always been a cornerstone of his professional journey and his secret to being a 14-time All-Star. In the latest story of A-Rod’s Instagram, reading “Don’t forget to slow down once in a while,” A-Rod is seen standing under a tree posing with Gen-Z energy. 

In an interview with GQ early last month, Alex Rodriguez allowed a sneak peek into his fitness routine. He said, “So my team knows that they have me from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., but 8 a.m. to noon is my time. I use it to lift, do cardio like spin, yoga – you name it. If I’m not working out, I’ll use that time to do recovery like being in the sauna or meditating.”

A-Rod is the epitome of self care. As an investor and CEO of his real estate venture, he says that the best investment one can make is in oneself – selfcare. He shares an important part of his personality, which exemplifies the man he is today, “I’m consistent with everything”.
