He has so much work ethic and is in great physical shape. This is like 4 hours of training a day! I wonder if he is tired and worn out once he reaches the weightraining portion of his workout and especially the cardio. If he does 2 hours of running before basketball, isn't that already considered cardio?

By the way, I could not find the actual conditioning workout he does. The only thing the person on the insidehoops forum could find is what I was only able to find as well is the weightraining schedule.

Do you think Kobe can keep this up even 5 years or even 10 years from now or will his body eventually slow him down? I know that the older you get, the harder you have to work at something in order to not lose it.
