Although he spends so much money for resources to help him get his body right, there are plenty of things that we can all take from Lebron to help us maintain peak physical condition.

* Make sure your stretch before and after playing basketball to keep your muscle loosened and prevent injuries.

* Make a workout routine and stay consistent in doing it. You should work out in the gym or at home at least 5 days a week. A strong athlete is absolutely nothing without a strong body. Basketball players constantly run, jump, dribble and shoot. Your workouts should include exercises involving the all muscles of the legs, arms, chest and abs. The stronger your body, the longer you will be able to endure and entire season and feel fresh in the fourth quarter of every game.

* Make sure to push yourself twice as hard at practice or during training times. Athletes frequently take it easy when they are practicing but then push their bodies to it's limit when it is game time, often stressing the body out and fatiguing very easily. A practice should be not be walk through but rather a simulation of the game. Lebron puts and emphasis on recreating the actual game when training. He runs his drills full speed and practices hard for a long duration and ends his practices often by making his "end of the game" freethrows, when the he is exhausted but the game demands free throws or final shot to win the game.
