Personal trainer

The Uruguayan star is a decent worker, not one of the heaviest, but still keeps his body in shape. He’s not a fan of weightlifting exercises and that’s why most of his workouts are performed using his bodyweight as resistance. Godin does a lot of conditioning work like high-intensity sprinting and sand dune training in the off-season.

Despite the fact that he isn’t very muscular, his core strength is demonstrated in the ability to make contact from a larger and much more powerful opponent.

The muscles of the core are a proven way to improve a player’s athletic performance. That’s why we’re providing you with some exercise videos to help you create your own core workout.

Before watching the videos we want you to make sure you know the complete core anatomy. There are numerous abdominal muscles including the obliques, trapezius, gluteus maximus, and latissimus dorsi.
