Daniel Negreanu has been skipping out recent poker tournaments. He uses his time to introduce basic changes to his lifestyle; most importantly, he is learning languages, reading books and working out with a fitness superstar.
Canadian poker celebrity and PokerStars Team Pro member Daniel Negreanu has not played a single live tournament since this July. Instead, he has been working on getting used to a different, healthier lifestyle, in the framework of which he has taken up studying languages, reading books and working out with the assistance of a fitness star, Tiffany Boydston.
Negreanu has been learning Spanish and French in the Rosetta Stone study programme, in order to be able to better communicate with the residents of European poker stops, especially in Barcelona and Paris. He also intends to show respect this way towards the natives of the respective countries. Additionally, the pro has taken up reading: he aims to finish five books within three months. So far, he has read Lynne Twist’s Soul of Money and has been reading Stephen R. Covey’s The 8th Habit. On his list are the books Infinite Possibilites, The Traveler’s Gift and The War of Art.
Most importantly, however, ‘KidPoker’ has decided to change his lifestyle to a healthier one and he did not hesitate to hire a world renowned fitness ace, Tiffany Boydston, to reach his aim. Negreanu says he strives to be able to do ten regular push-ups. Apparently, he had always been able to do only four but he aims at ten by the end of October.
