Patriots receiver Julian Edelman is more than ready for his upcoming season with the team.

The receiver spends his offseason working out with quarterback Tom Brady. It’s more than obvious that Edelman will dominate the field again. What gives him this strength? It’s all about his workout and the beast mode he turns on every time he sees a football.

Edelman and Brian Weller, co-owner of Barry’s Bootcamp Boston, know how to design the perfect workout plan.

“The workout was only 30 minutes, including water breaks, so I wanted to maximize the time we had,” Weller explained his routine a few years ago. “I also made sure to select exercises that had easily accessible modifications to accommodate a group whose athletic abilities varied. This workout is 100% the ‘no-excuse’ workout. It can be done anywhere, without any equipment, much space, or time. By using only one thing—your own body—there’s no excuse to get out of it, and it’s incredibly efficient.”

Is this what the receiver sticks to when training? “We incorporate things like this, definitely, the high aerobic type fitness, high metabolic training,” he said. “But we incorporate a lot more weights and a lot more resistance running,” he explained. “This was a great kind of small-area, condensed workout you can do to burn some calories, get a sweat, and not feel quite as guilty as you might otherwise.”

2018 wasn’t his greatest season, but he ended it with a Super Bowl MVP nomination.

“It means the world,” the receiver  said ahead of the Super Bowl. “This is what you play the game for and it’s been a crazy year for me, two years. I have a kid, tear your ACL, you miss four games. It’s been a mentally, physically, emotionally exhausting year. You put all that effort into overcoming that for this game. It’s been a heck of a year to get to go out and play with your teammates and see how this thing’s evolved out. It’s always a great thing getting to play in the last game of the year.”

Let’s see what happens next season with Edelman and the Patriots.
