Paul George aims to reshape his body with insane offseason workout

After getting traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder earlier in the offseason, Paul George will have a fresh start with his new team, and a chance to continue the run of success they are having. That said, he is already looking forward to further improve his conditioning, by aiming to reshape this body with insane workouts.

According to Brett Dawson of The Oklahoman, the 27-year-old Fresno State product is currently spending time with his trainer, Ryan Capretta of Proactive Sports Performance training center in Westlake Village, California. However on Fridays, they have a “Road Trip” that is not the one a lot of people are familiar with. Instead of a long drive and enjoying the scenery, their “trip” consists of interval workouts, sprints and plyometric movements.

“It's called a sand dune, but it's basically like a sand mountain,” Capretta said in a phone interview last week. “You're racing up this hill, and it's an a**-kicker. It crushes you.”

“It was specific to him being the best basketball player he can be. One of the things we wanted to do was add a little muscle and really keep his explosiveness and add to it. We wanted the right kind of muscle. Not meathead, bodybuilder muscle.”

While a lot of players take vacations this offseason to some of the most exotic destinations around the world, George opted to continue keeping himself in shape. It only goes to show how dedicated he is to becoming the best basketball player that he can be, and also preparing himself for next season's grind.

The four-time All-Star forward is entering a contract year, and has made it clear that if the Thunder reach at least the Western Conference Finals, he will most likely re-sign with them, and not with the Los Angeles Lakers, who have long been rumored to pursue him next summer. Whichever team he'll end up playing for by then is still up in the air, but one thing certain at this point is that his commitment and work ethic will only make him better, and that franchise should be ready to pay him the maximum deal he will command and deserve.
