Who is Kenzo Nudo?
Kenzo Nudo, 26, is a native of Scottsdale, Arizona. He spent his freshman year at Grand Canyon University playing basketball. However, his fate did not support him. Kenzo once ruptured his Achilles tendon and also had sports hernias in both hips, leading to multiple surgeries, which meant he could not play basketball for many years. He later regained his confidence and came back into the game even stronger. According to Western Slope Now's reports, Kenzo was the athlete of the month in January 2019 for the Colorado Men's Basketball team.
Kenzo calls himself an "ocean child." He says, "The ocean has always been the place where I feel the most peace and connection with the earth. The rhythm of the ocean allows me to feel and hear the heartbeat of mother nature." Kenzo is 6 feet 4 inches tall. He is a digital creator who loves fitness and traveling. Kenzo is often seen flexing his body on social media.
In one of his Instagram posts, Kenzo said, "YOU ARE CAPABLE OF REWIRING YOUR BRAIN." Continuing with an explanation of his point, he added, "It’s amazing how much the body and mind can change in just eight months of rewiring with consistency and discipline. In February of this year [2022] i was skinny to the bone. i had no motivation to work out, i had stopped lifting and was down to 185 pounds (i’m 220 now). I then became deeply aware that this is the only body i will ever get and i had to treat it like it so i decided to made it my temple." Sharing details about his fitness journey, he said, "I used to HATE working out, especially since i wasn’t playing a sport anymore, it seemed pointless but after a few months of being consistent with it again it became a habit, a part of my daily routine and something now i can’t live without."
He continued to provide motivation to his followers, saying, "Once you get momentum on your side you become unstoppable !! momentum is everything. Now i wake up stoked to have the health and ability to workout and get the natural high you get from it. not only does it sharpen my body to look and feel better but it also sharpens the shit out of my mind." He then summarised his beliefs, concluding, "If you hate working out or have no motivation know that you can rewire your brain to become OBSESSED with it !! and you are able to do so in all other aspects of your life."
