Check out Tom Brady's Full Body, In-Season Workout
Every professional athlete has hopes of playing for a long time and doing such at a high level. Unfortunately, those hopes don't come to fruition very often because of the physical and mental impact sports have on the human body.
However, there's always an exception, and for this narrative, it's Tom Brady.
At 42 years old, Brady is playing at a high level during his 20th NFL season, completing 62% of his passes for 1,061 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception through four regular season games. Those numbers don't only wow when taking into consideration how long Brady has been at it for, but it also makes one wonder how he stays in such great physical shape which allows him to play football well into his 40s.
Men's Health met with Brady's personal trainer and business partner, Alex Guerrero to see what workouts he has the 42 year old using during the NFL season to keep him fresh and at his highest level physically. Guerrero shared Brady's full body, in-season workout, which goes as followed:
