The Workout Routine of Giannis Antetokounmpo That Was Responsible For His Transformation

When Giannis Antetokounmpo came to the NBA in 2013, he was nowhere close to the beast he is now. He came in is as a skinny 18-year old and joined the Milwaukee Bucks.

But over the years, he has transformed himself not only into one of the best players in the league but also one of the fittest.

To build a body of such stature, he needs to follow a strict workout routine and a diet to complement it. Something which doesn’t have season and off-season.

“It’s very important for me to never stop improving, even in the offseason. When I’m not on the court playing I’m in the gym training and building strength. There is no time off. Eating well and exercising right is very important to me,” Antetokounmpo once said in an interview last year.

Antetokounmpo spends his Saturdays for cardio workout which might include running or involving in any other sports.

When Giannis was once asked about his favorite workout, he said they were those exercises that help him develop as an all-round player.

“I consider myself an all-around player so I try to reflect that in what I do to prepare off the court. I love exercises that help improve all parts of my game to be a better player in all aspects of the game.”
