McGregor drinks water as soon as he wakes up each morning and before bed at night. Water seems to be one of his favorite things to drink, followed closely by coconut water! What McGregor eats throughout the day varies, but we know that it’s never less than six times a day. Our nutritionist told us when he comes in for an appointment – Exercise is important when trying to achieve a fit figure, but it doesn’t come close to playing the same role as eating right.
Conor McGregor Workout Routine
Before starting a new workout routine, make sure to stay properly hydrated during workouts by having either water or energy drinks handy. Important things are to stretch before and after exercises and take time for cooling down – it will both lengthen your workout time and keep you from getting injured. Let’s take a look at how Conor McGregor exercises his body as he prepares for his next fight.
Workout 1 : Flexibility and Dynamic Stretching
Muay Thai Knees
- Stand in a fighting stance. Step your front foot forward as you step through with your back leg, powerfully driving your knee upward while pushing your hips forward. Repeat the same action with your opposite foot
Shoulder Rotations
- Stand up with your feet shoulder-width apart, keeping your hands raised and rotating them back and forth from your shoulders.
Leg Swings
- Stand in front of a wall and place one hand on it. Rotate your body as you swing one leg outwards, stretching it for maximum benefit.
Neck Bridge
- Lie down with both feet touching the floor and your knees bent at 90 degrees. Lift one of your heels off the floor, reaching for it if you can, and then press back gently until only your head and toes touch the ground.
- Hold, then relax and repeat. (each 1 min.)
Hip Circles
- Stand up straight with your feet wide apart, cross one hand over your chest while holding the other out at an angle to touch a fingertip of the other hand. Twist from side to side.
Workout 2: Static Stretching
Back Roll
Sit cross-legged on the floor and bend your leg slightly forward. Inhale deeply, then exhale as you lean backward until you’re in a sitting inverted position (as if touching your toes to the ground).
Sit-Through Abdominal Stretch
Lie on your stomach, positioning your hands so they are underneath the armpit area. Take a breath in and then exhale while lifting yourself up onto your arms as you continue breathing out. Your legs should be straightened at this point and the curve of your back will stay intact throughout this exercise routine.
Sit-Back Shoulder Stretch
Start on your knees. Slowly lower yourself until you are sitting back towards your feet and stretching out one of your arms as far as possible in front of you. Your nose should be touching the ground or close to it so that only a small space remains between its tip and the floor.
Lying Leg Stretch
Lie down flat on your back while bending one of your knees to a 90-degree angle. Cross the other leg over it and push its knee towards your chest to stretch out your hips, pelvis, hamstrings, quadriceps and calf muscles.
Seated Butterfly
Sit on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you and bent at 90 degree angles. Put one hand behind each knee and gently push down, using your elbows for support.
Duck Walk
Walk when you are in a squatting position, place your backside onto one of your feet and put the other foot forward so you can sit down. This will reduce knee pain.
Horse Walk
You need to start in a low, wide stance with your knees bent. Next turn your heels outward as far as they’ll go before walking. The exercise helps you develop hip and groin strength.
Lizard Walk
Begin by bending both knees at 90-degree angles and place your hands on the floor. Slowly bring one arm up while also lifting one leg so that you are balancing on just one knee (you will now be in a low push-up position). Do a push up with this right arm then bring down the right arm to bring back up the left arm while also lifting the left leg (now you’re back in a high push-up position). Repeat this process until you’ve advanced forward.
Pros :- improves core control and hip mobility.
Ostrich Walk
Bend down and try to touch the floor with your toes. Lock both knees and put one hand on the ground while bouncing one leg back and forth, then switch it up. Try pulling yourself up again, this time making sure to use only your ab muscles.
Pros :- core strength.
Workout 3: Bodyweight Circuit
(Do at least 5 sets of each exercise for one minute. Track your reps and try to beat them every time.)
Muscle-Up
With the help of rings, pull your body up from the ground to arms fully extended while also bringing your knees towards you. Then come back down again while returning to a flat position on your stomach
Push-Up
Your Shoulder and Triceps in work
Do basic push-up
Pull-Up
Your biceps, back and traps in work
Do basic Pull-up
Air Squat
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, bend at the knee and assume a sitting position while maintaining good posture. Repeat this motion until you feel tired before switching legs. Stand up straight so that when people look at you they will see someone who looks like Conor McGregor – which means working hard for hours every day for months or years to achieve your goals; but it also means being healthy, strong and beautiful just like he is!
