Me and my brother are players that spend three to four hours in the gym every day doing running, lifting heavy weights, and doing treadmill stuff.
It was my idea to get in the gym. Fulham have pushed me as well to be in there two or three times a week, not just weights but flexibility as well to help my all-round body.

A system is in equilibrium when the forces constituting it are arranged in such a way as to compensate each other, like the two weights pulling at the arms of a pair of scales.
For girls who want to get their waistline down a little bit and don’t have any weights in the house, they can actually use a broom and put it behind their necks, lap over it and twist and squat. I do all of that if I don’t go to the gym.

Football is a little bit different as far as lifting weights. We lifted weights every day. It’s a different type of sport. So those things, different aspects, they help you in basketball.
Maybe it’s every kid’s dream to go into a pod and come out looking like Captain America. And you don’t even have to exercise or lift weights! It’s great!

Let’s be real: it’s not always the No. 1 contenders who get the title shots. It’s who they invest money in and who’s kind of a known name. In the lighter weights, just being that I fought seven title fights in a row, I think I’m that guy.

I make sure that I work out on the mat and the trapeze. That helps tone the legs and arms. Following that, I may lift some 5- or 10-pound weights. That’s good for maintaining a nice round figure, if you know what I mean.
I try to work out six days a week, you know, weights two days a week, and I try to run those six days, so I get good cardio.
