Question

hey i was wondering if anyone knew muhammad ali's workout?

Answer 1

Muhammad Ali trained the old-school way, that is, roadwork in the morning and gym in the afternoon. His roadwork consisted of running 4 to 5 miles everyday at around 4 in the morning. Towards the end of his run, he'd shadowbox for a few minutes then jog or walk back to his starting point. Ali would then do his calisthenics and ab exercises under the watchful eye of Luis Sarria, his personal masseur. He'd then have breakfast and sleep up to lunch time. In the afternoon, he'd go to the gym. In the gym, he'd do the usual boxer's routine e.g. skipping rope, shadowboxing, heavy bag, speed bag and hitting the mitts. Thereafter, he'd commence sparring.

Ali never lifted weights. His body, especially during the Cassius Clay era, was naturally developed and sculpted from endless calisthenics, which was big in boxing during that time.
