I’ve been making it a point to prioritize more athletes within our Celebrity Workouts Database to really round out our overall Workout Database, and this week we’re back for another NBA Superstar.
We’ve seen a few other basketball stars, like Lebron James for example, but we actually had a ton of requests come in specifically for Harden.
And, good news: Harden’s trainer hopped on a video with Men’s Health to break down some of his training.
Harden’s trainer, Paul Fabritz has had the job of getting Harden ready for the last four years during his off-season and he breaks down some of the workout and regime they’d done together in the video.
Fabritz says:
“He plays 82 plus games every year. We gotta keep him durable, resilient and healthy. But, he’s also competing for the MVP each year – so it’s not just about health – it’s also about explosiveness..it’s about his movements on the court. So I’m going to take you through a typical workout. Let’s do it.”
Fabritz then brings in one of his other trainers to demonstrate the movements Harden would be doing, and he breaks down a ton of the intro training like dynamic warm up and other things they do before the real “good stuff” even begins.
I’ll be breaking down the entire programming below for us to give a shot.
