On The Road Fitness With Sam Callahan

To say X Factor finalist Sam Callahan has a hectic schedule would be an understatement of epic proportions! Forever on the road touring, he isn’t short of his fair share of challenges when it comes to maintaining that notorious torso.

Post X Factor Life

Since winning the heart of many Brits after gracing our prime-time Saturday night television screens, Sam has never regressed to an ordinary life “Life since The X Factor can only be described as an absolute whirlwind that just has not let up!” he begins. “Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining and to be honest I’m definitely someone who doesn’t do well when things go quiet, so for my sanity I like to stay busy.

“I love the travelling, the performing and meeting new people” explains Sam “and this year I’ve been on a mission to push my own music more which has worked out great, as I released three singles and have just put on a headline gig in London following my final release of the year with my single, ‘Stitches and Scars’”. Sounds like enough to keep the hardest of grafters busy!

Unpredictable Schedule

Sam certainly understands the necessity to be flexible with such a demanding agenda. “My schedule is in a word, ‘unpredictable’!” he exclaims. “Some days I am working from the recording studio and gigging in the evening which allows me to get in the gym early doors before I head off to the studio to write and record.

“Then other days, I am touring or gigging far away from home and sometimes even abroad!” divulges Sam. “This often makes things a lot more difficult! I have to fit exercise in any way I can, from pounding the pavements to get my cardio fix, push ups and crunches in my bedroom and finding the nearest gym whenever I can” he remarks avidly.

“Food wise, I find eating well is always possible as long as you’re disciplined enough, but that’s the hardest part!
