Details Of How Undefeted Boxer Floyd Mayweather Stays In Ripped Shape

Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is an undefeated world champion in five divisions, winning 10 world titles and the lineal championship. And, yes, he's considered one of the richest athletes on the planet, with an estimated net worth of $400 million and growing (according to Celebrity Net Worth). As one of the wealthiest athletes on the planet, it comes at a price: consistent training and an entire team — "The Money Team" — relying on your consistent wins. So how does the "money man" himself stay in ripped shape? Mstars found you the answers.

"Every day I go to the gym, the first thing I do is shadowbox. I probably shadowbox, I don't know, 10 minutes," Mayweather told Men's Health.

The magazine spoke with Mayweather, trainer Roger Mayweather and professional boxer Shane Mosley's trainer, Naazim Richardson, to bring readers six key workouts that claim his success:

1. Add Interval Training to Your Cardio

This will increase your stamina so you can last longer in the ring. This includes short bursts of running incorporated with longer runs. For example, on the treadmill sprint for one minute and run moderately for three.

2. Find What Motivates You

"Every day that I go to the boxing gym, I think about what my opponent is doing," Mayweather told the magazine. "In my mind, I'm trying to outwork my opponent. That's what keeps me physically able to go out there and perform and not get tired. Each time I'm pushing myself more and more to the limit."

3. Don't Neglect Other Sports

Just because Mayweather's main sport is boxing, he doesn't let that stop him from participating in other sports such as basketball. Running the court helps with endurance, an added benefit. In fact, Mosley mixes his workouts with bowling, basketball and snowboarding.

4. Take a break

Your body needs rest to recuperate and build muscle. Richardson said, "His body has to rest," giving your muscle fibers time to rest.

5. Train with a Friend

Staying in your comfort zone by training alone is something an athlete does not want, but training with a friend increases your competition level and keeps you on your feet. "He doesn't hit the pads at his pace — he hits them at my pace," says his trainer, Roger Mayweather.

6. Don't Rely on Weights

The magazine revealed that Mayweather doesn't rely on weights to build muscle. He prefers equipment like a medicine ball. For example, he holds the medicine ball in both hands, throws it in the air, catches it and pushes it up.
