Personal trainer

In the off-season, Eli Manning goes to the gym for four days in a week. There are two upper body sessions and two lower body sessions. The focus is on lifting heavy weights and increasing overall strength. His off-season exercises also include a lot of running.

During the season, he limits his fitness work to just two days a week. Both workouts are intense full-body workouts designed to maintain strength and prevent injury.

He performs Power Clean and Blast Lifts, helping him build an explosiveness that serves him so well on the field. Then there’s a lot of footwork with squats and various kettlebell moves. He also uses a band to strengthen the arm, shoulder, and rotator cuffs. Also, there are some steps aimed at making its core powerful and stable enough to improve its game.

Manning focuses on getting a big meal on the table post-game night to restore his energy levels and aid in muscle recovery. Leading up to the game, he keeps things simple with chicken and pasta along with some fruit. During game intervals, he eats banana and Gatorade bars to boost his energy.
