Former England rugby union captain Chris Robshaw has revealed his daily routine, which includes sleep powders, cold plunges, and a focus on longevity. The 38-year-old, who now works as a coach and in wine investment, says his schedule is dictated by his two young children.
Robshaw starts his day between six and seven, taking turns with his wife to get the children ready. His breakfast consists of Greek yoghurt, berries, banana, and honey, a change from the scrambled eggs he ate during his playing days. He also takes supplements including multivitamins, omegas, and protein.
The former rugby star works out four to five times a week, prioritising mental health. He enjoys 45-minute circuit sessions combining fitness and weights. Robshaw has experimented with fasting but emphasises consistency. He uses a cold plunge most mornings and has recently installed a sauna, driven by concerns about longevity after his father died of a heart attack at 40.
Robshaw avoids wearable health trackers, preferring an intuitive approach after years of monitoring as a professional athlete. Evenings are spent with family, and he uses a sleep powder and magnesium to aid rest, going to bed by 9pm. For stress relief, he listens to piano music and decompresses in the car away from his phone.
Robshaw is a brand ambassador for Over+Above and supports community organisations focused on youth wellbeing.
