The Drew Brees workout: Train like a champion

When I started training Drew Brees in 2004, I put him through a workout unlike any he'd done before. I used new exercises and equipment that made him stronger and leaner and improved his athleticism. Now I'm going to share that better-body blueprint with you. Use this routine to unlock your potential, speed up fat loss, and pack on muscle like a pro.

This program consists of four circuits of three exercises each. For each circuit, do one set of each exercise in succession, resting 20 to 30 seconds between sets. Then rest for one to two minutes. That's one round.

Do a total of three rounds, and then move to the next circuit. After you've completed all four circuits, burn even more calories by doing sprint intervals. You can do them outside or on a treadmill. They're simple: Sprint for 30 seconds, and then walk for 30 seconds. That's one set.

Do three sets in week one, then four sets in week two, and then five sets in weeks three and four.
