Many people are asking how Roger Federer keeps himself in shape enough to win every tennis title that comes his way. The effort must entail a lot of sacrifices and hard work. Actually practicing the game itself would not be enough. Just hitting balls with his racket all day long would not help in his over-all and balanced fitness even if it does improves his skill. A perfect fitness routine combined with the right nutrition would be advantageous.
His 61 frame could be at the peak of its health at his young age of twenty-seven. It is less likely to store fat with his lifestyle. Federer is not taking risks though as he undergoes the needed exercise and diet. He observes his own rule in taking enough rest to regenerate his energy. He usually sleeps for 10 hours at night, quite extended for others but just enough for the Wimbledon kings body.
Federer spends long hours of workouts with his trainer Pierre Paganini especially during off-season when there no big games to play. They usually expend more or less 10 hours every week for workouts alone. For an entire season, the pair could reach 100 hours of plain non-tennis sweat outs. This is not an exploit to brag about but just simply an essential to his rule over the tennis kingdom. That may not even be enough as he once admitted he wants to be 200 percent fit and ready for any game.
