Stefan Mross, the beloved ARD moderator known for his long-standing show "Immer wieder sonntags," is gearing up for what many are eagerly anticipating: his showdown against comedian Bülent Ceylan on the prestigious Pro7 show "Schlag den Star". Set to air on December 28, Mross has been taking his preparation seriously, determined to emerge victorious against his competitor.
Mross exclaimed, "I find it brave of Bülent, who, after two losses, is stepping back to compete against me again. With all due respect for Bülent, I intend to win this fight and beat him!" The 49-year-old star is leaving no stone unturned as he trains rigorously; since summer, he has dropped five kilograms, bringing him down to his self-identified ideal weight of 86 kilograms.
His workout routine consists of hitting the gym three times a week, where he blends cardiovascular exercises with strength training, particularly enjoying boxing. He shared, "Boxing is great for the mind, soul, and body. You can really exert yourself and release everything mentally. But after ten minutes, I'm usually worn out." Mross emphasizes the importance of monitoring his health as he trains, admitting he keeps check on his heart and respiratory rates during his cardiovascular warm-up on the ergometer. He noted, "I take this very seriously because both my father and grandfather had heart attacks. I don’t want the same fate."
Along with his fitness regimen, Mross has made substantial changes to his diet, focusing on protein-rich foods with minimal carbohydrates. He aims to finish eating by 5 PM, allowing for just one designated cheat day each week, during which he may indulge himself with beloved dishes like roast pork. He remarked humorously about his new physique, saying, "Eva (his girlfriend) is proud and wishes for me to stay fit. She doesn’t want a skinny Tarzan for a boyfriend."
"I also try to avoid doing pull-ups. I typically hang there like a sack of potatoes; I need to improve on this."
Mross's confidence is palpable, not just from the physical changes but also from the mental preparation he's undergone. "I really believe I have what it takes to conquer Ceylan," he asserted. His psychological readiness alongside his commitment to fitness positions him as not just another contestant, but as someone who's set their eyes firmly on the prize. Ceylan's history of competing and losing could potentially weigh on him, but Mross isn't falling for speculation; he's focused on his training and winning.
While both stars have their fanbases and reputations to uphold, the upcoming clash between Mross and Ceylan is poised to be more than just entertainment. It's about showcasing dedication, fitness, and the spirit of competition. With Mross's preparation documented and his candid remarks offering insight, viewers around the nation are sure to tune in to see not only who triumphs but also how both competitors showcase their skills and strength.
Fans are excitedly counting down to the event, with social media buzzing about the clash between the charming Mross and the humorous Ceylan as they gear up for this unique battle of wit and strength, certain to entertain and electrify audiences all over Germany on December 28.
