Now, remember at the beginning of the article we said working out like Lebron may work for you if you can keep up. And now you get to see what we meant because the work out routine above is just one the exercise programs that James uses. If there was any doubt of hard Lebron James works at being the best let it cease here. His celebrity workout regiment is second to none and if you want to have any chance of playing anywhere near his level then push yourself with these other work outs that LBJ does:
- Grab a medicine ball and while holding it over your head bend your knees and quickly lower the ball too your waist and then jump vertical raising the ball above your head aiming to touch the ball too a predetermined spot. Land, Pause and Repeat the movement. Lebron does this for a minimal of 3 – 5 sets of 5 – 10 jumps each. This movement is designed build leg strength and improve your explosiveness and quickness around the rim.
- Performing squats while standing on a vibrating platform (scientists have found that the low-level frequencies may help the central nervous system activates more muscle cells stimulating an increase in strength.)
- Conventional running & water resistance running on the beach or in a pool (2 to 3 miles).
- Bike riding
- Plyrometric movements for explosiveness.
- Resistance band work.
- Basket ball drills and conditioning on the court.
One things for sure, building a Lebron James body doesn’t come without sacrifice and extreme effort!
