Jimmy Butler's Workout Routine

“It’s a rhythm, it’s a routine, and I don’t skip any of it. I don’t skip any steps of the process.”

These words describe Butler's approach and dedication to fitness in the most succinct way. His discipline in the gym shows up on the court - as well as on his body.

Jimmy Butler starts his workout at 4 am sharp by shooting a ten-pound medicine ball to strengthen his wrists. He then holds 45-pound plates by his sides, drops them, and quickly picks them up to test his grip.

He then moves on to one of his favorite drills, a game that works on both balance and mental focus: He stands on one leg, while his trainer throws him red and blue balls. A resistance band pulls him off-center. He needs to use his left hand to catch the red ones and his right to catch the blue ones.

Jimmy Butler seems to love all exercises that only use one leg: Single-leg balance, single-leg box jumps, single-leg squats. After that, he does bridges, planks, and other ab exercises, and then he goes out on the court. During the next hour, he takes about 1,000 jump shots to perfect his shooting stroke, which has made him one of the most dangerous scorers in the league when the game is on the line.

By the time the sun comes up, he's already on his way home to eat egg-white omelettes, avocados, berries, and black coffee for breakfast. After that, he takes some time to recover with ice or yoga and then does more drills.

That was all about Jimmy' Butlers workout, in a nutshell. Now, let us learn some more about his workouts:

Kettlebell Love

Jimmy Butler likes his kettlebells. He uses them to get a useful workout that makes him stronger without bulking up his muscles. The kettlebell workout burns a lot of calories quickly and helps Butler get going for the day.

Medicine Balls

Jimmy Butler uses the medicine ball workout as his warmup routine right before hitting the beaches of Miami for a long and tiring run.

He also uses these crazy balls during his core training, where the Miami Heat star works to get stronger all over. His glutes, hamstrings, back, triceps, and shoulders also feel the burn from this workout. Shawn Mendes's songs never hurt during the sessions.

Cable Machine

The cable machine is an important part of Jimmy Butler's upper body training routine. Workouts with a pulley help build muscle and work different parts of the upper body.

Jimmy Butler's Favorite Exercises

Like every player, Jimmy has his own favorite exercises. Let's take a look at them below.

Step-up

Step-ups are one of the easy ones but not really when one has to do it with a thousand other things. The All-Star player also adds weight or resistance to make it more difficult and get the most out of it. His workout has 10,000 steps to help him get stronger at the deadlift, improve his balance, lower back, speed, and calves.

Jump Squat

Legs are money for an NBA player. Jimmy Butler knows how to strengthen his legs so that they can carry his 230-pound body weight without hurting his ankles, knees, or Achilles. Jump squats with or without weights are one of the exercises that help him achieve that.

James Scott, Jimmy Butler's trainer, gets him to do a lot of different things, but the ones mentioned above are key. Butler doesn't do max lifts, but he does other things to get his strength up quickly.

Butler's secret to looking sexy every single day is his dedication and commitment.

"You have to work, because at any certain time, this shit could be taken from you. It could be gone. And when I think about that, it scares the living hell out of me."
