- CARDIO: Running is very important for increasing stamina and to some extent building muscles. A 90 minute outdoor cardio workout is what Jake did with a 20 pound jacket to simulate the armor of Prince of Persia.
- PARKOUR: A very exciting outdoor sport, parkour workout was an integral part of Jake’s routine. He started out with gymnastics and then moved on to jumps on harder surfaces like roof tops, benches, bridges and beams. He always made sure he did a bit of cardio before parkour training and focused more on landings to increase agility.
- BUILDING MUSCLES: Increasing speed and agility is one thing and building muscles is another. Jake specially spend one hour in the evening for training with resistance cables followed by push-ups, pull-ups and weight training for abs. He finishes it with stretching and brisk walking.

- THE MORNING SNACK: Before starting the workout, Jake made sure that he had a banana with a few dry fruits and nuts and an espresso. He was told that it was important to eat something light yet healthy and nutritious before such strenuous workout as going opposed to it would make him fatigued.
