Personal trainer

In his off-season, Andre works very hard to make sure he sheds the unnecessary weight and is fit for the new season. He starts his day with lap runs on the track. Later he gets on his bike for some more cardio. A rope jump follows, which not only improves his footwork but also improves his mobility. In the evening he goes to the beach to walk a kilometer or two.

During the season, he reduces his cardio work as he has to run a lot in the games. He places particular emphasis on stretching to loosen his muscles. Andre also focuses on improving his core strength as it helps reduce back problems. He plays many variations of the floorboard. He also adds different versions of sit-ups and pull-ups to his workout routine. Most recently, he does yoga in the morning.

Andre has also incorporated Every Minute to the Minute (EMOM) workout into his fitness regime. Basically, in this workout, he sprints 45 seconds and then rests the remaining 15 seconds. He repeats it for 20 minutes. He has also tried intense martial arts style workouts.

To keep his body strong for his grueling workout, Drummond makes sure he eats right and healthy in sessions and games. He especially likes to dip in a fruit bowl to boost his energy. He likes to eat dried fruits and nuts.
