Like any athlete, you will be expected to be quick, proactive and full of stamina. One may have the skills, but one will need the proper body to use those skills. Wade’s weight training includes rigorous and personal supersets to improve his hip flexibility, lateral and vertical explosion, and shoulder strength.

3. Fuel your body.
Now that the body is toned, you must now adjust your daily diet. The basic reason of why we eat in the first place is for energy and to survive. Many people dine for leisure and not for nutrition, which can be dangerous to your organs.
Dwyane Wade and Lebron James have tried the Paleo Diet, which is a diet composed of raw, unprocessed foods that are high in protein and omega-rich fats, which enables your body to burn your own fat.
I wouldn’t recommend sticking with that diet for a lifetime, but only for when you want to lose weight efficiently. Fruits, vegetables, grains and protein all play a significant part in your body.
