Joseph ‘Da Rulk’ Sakoda told SMARTdaily the actor follows his ‘functional training’ method, that can be done at home or the gym.

He explained that while it takes hard work to achieve and maintain a ripped physique like Chris, the everyday person can also reap benefits from his approach to fitness.

Joseph said the beauty in functional training is that you don’t need weights, just your own body weight.
