Focus on the mix of activities that keep you in shape. It is best to have a diverse workout routine that covers all aspects of physical fitness, including healthy eating, strength, cardio, and flexibility. Having a diverse routine shows the interviewer that you understand there is more than one aspect to physical fitness. For example, if you only run to stay in shape, you are not addressing upper body strength, which is necessary to perform your job duties as a Special Agent adequately.

Since staying in excellent physical shape is a requirement of the FBI, avoid saying you do nothing to stay in shape. You must have a plan to stay in shape throughout your career, or you will not be fulfilling your job duties as a Special Agent.

The interviewer wants to hear that you participate in various activities to stay healthy. Remember to cover a variety of activities to keep in shape, including healthy eating, strength, cardio, and flexibility. If you do not cover all aspects of physical fitness, you might consider adding the missing element to your routine.

"To stay in top physical shape, I work out an average of six days a week depending on my work schedule, but always make exercise and healthy eating a priority. I follow the Mediterranean diet, which includes many fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. I enjoy a variety of activities to stay in shape. One week I will do a mix of free weights and TRX workouts, and the next week I will do Crossfit."

"I believe it is best to change up workout routines so all muscle groups are targeted and not as prone to being injured. Lifting weights and doing basic cardio gets the heart pumping, but can also ignore a wide range of muscle groups. So my exercise routine consists of a mixture of martial arts and Tai Chi. I also do yoga, mountain biking and trail running, and I also eat a well-balanced diet and avoid sugar and alcohol and processed foods. I also follow a regimen that supports my circadian rhythm, guaranteeing a good night's sleep as often as I can afford it."
