    TIGER WOODS REVEALS HIS FITNESS REGIMEN IN THE AUGUST ISSUE
    OF MEN’S FITNESS MAGAZINE
    -On newsstands June 29, 2007-

    June 29, 2007 – After more than a decade on the PGA Tour, Tiger Woods talks to Men’s Fitness magazine for the first time about his private fitness regimen.

    Woods gives Men’s Fitness unprecedented access to his workout regimen, including exclusive access to his trainer Keith Kleven, who has been with Woods throughout his pro career. Both go into detail about their unique approach which “treats golf as a sport.” Woods adds, “I let other people treat it like a hobby. It would be asinine for someone not to work out and go play football. It doesn’t make sense for golf, either.”

    Kleven’s regimen has earned Woods recognition as one of the fittest athletes in the world, combining weight training, core training, and running. Readers will notice from the photos that this isn’t the same golfer they once knew. Now buff and chiseled with definition, Woods explains that he added muscle later in life, going from 158 pounds to nearly 185 pounds.

    “Around my mid-20s, I changed naturally. I was able to lay down muscle for the first time, and I was able to keep it. It was exciting, I’d never experienced that before…all that work was starting to show up.” But the golfer tells the magazine he won’t push himself to the point of pain in the weight room. “Some people let ego get in their way. You have to listen to your inner self. Your body knows what it can and can’t handle. It knows when it can be pushed and when you just need to back off a little bit.”

    Woods is as dedicated to his workout as he is about his swing. Kleven refers to Woods’s training sessions as, “two to three hours of focus.” “He loves to work out. A lot of athletes don’t like to train; he thrives on it,” says Kleven.

    Woods isn’t the only active person in his family. His wife, Elin, is a dedicated runner. “She still works out…there’s no doubt I’m faster than she is, but there’s no doubt she can run a lot longer than I can. If we were doing a half marathon, she’d smoke me.”
