For the promising Syrian pop star, Wissam Hilal, fitness is more than just a workout; it's a lifestyle that fuels both his mind and body. When asked about his routine, the pop singer and EDM producer shares, "I usually kick things off with a light 10-minute run on the treadmill as a simple warm-up, then move on to weightlifting, and finish the session with 40 minutes of stair climbing or jogging, depending on my energy level for the day." This balanced approach to cardio and strength training helps him stay consistent and in tune with his body's needs. What truly sets Wissam's approach to fitness apart is his emphasis on its mental benefits. He explains, "The mental benefits are the most important to me. Exercise is a really positive way to stimulate the release of dopamine and serotonin, which are key neurotransmitters that regulate so many aspects of life." For him, it's not just about physical gains; it's about using fitness as a powerful tool to boost his mood and keep his life in balance. Music also plays a significant role in his workouts. As the rising star clarifies, "Music is an essential part of my cardio sessions. It can influence serotonin production to some extent, giving me a mental boost and enhancing the workout experience." He prefers upbeat songs to keep his energy up during intense workouts, while opting for calm melodies during weightlifting to help him focus and improve his form. Reflecting on his fitness journey, Wissam stresses the importance of warming up and stretching. "Warming up and stretching are essential to avoid muscle injuries during workouts," he explains. "Skipping them can really increase the risk of dangerous injuries." His advice for anyone looking to stay active and fit is simple: "Approach fitness with the right mindset. Do it for your mental and emotional well-being, and everything else—like physical results and fitness—will naturally follow." For Wissam Hilal, fitness isn't about chasing a certain shape; it's about embracing a journey towards a healthier and happier life.
