World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen REVEALS His Fitness Routine

[@themagnuscarlsen]

If you want some seriously amazing insights into outplaying and outlasting your opponents in the endgame from World Champion Magnus Carlsen himself, be sure to check out the Chessable course: bit.ly/Grind-Magnus

[@jimboramba]

Magnus, no joke, work on a farm or do some kind of manual labor rather than go to gym. Farm boy strength is a real thing.

I'm sorry for this question can be impertinent... Is it really possible to live from chess or do you do another job on the side?

[@adrenalinerush369]

@@CassyTvn late answer but if you still care to know: not all chess players have the following but Magnus has signed sponsorship deals and is a content creator.

Cheers to Magnus and other professional chess players such as Daniil Dubov who pursue and promote physical fitness as a necessary part of becoming the best chess player you can be.

"I feel like I'm trying to sort of optimize everything in my chess I'm trying to be like an athlete and a chess player ... I think working on like my physical um like strenght and stamina is really important for chess ... especially at the highest level the the difference is so slim between the top players and like even Magnus is in such a great shape" - Niemann, Hans

It is strange to see people type other languages than English, on an English site where 93% of content is in English, on a video with an English title and they speak English. It's like me typing Norwegian on youtube, it makes no sense.:D

[@northshores7319]

Please let Magnus know that when he reaches the 45-50 age range it will be better for him to do non joint straining exercises like swimming and stationary bike riding and to take Calcium tablets to strengthen his bones as experience has shown that many who have done the normal exercises that stress the joints end up getting severe arthritis in them which is quite debilitating and painful. The body does weaken as one gets older despite working out frequently. If that was not true then Michael Jordan would still be playing basketball!!

[@alihasanaxe4936]

The only way to strengthen your joints is to work them. There's a reason broken backs are nonexistant in world class stronman competitors, etc. Avoiding the things that cause you issues is a surefire way to make them worse. Michael Jordan doesn't play anymore because: 1. You can't keep up with younger players at those ages 2. He spent his career on drugs that cripple your performance longterm

[@northshores7319]

@@alihasanaxe4936 Well, I sure hope that when yo reach 65+ you have no joint problems as you are obviously unaware that osteoarthritis can not be prevented by exercise. It is kinda like male baldness in that despite all efforts you can not stop it.

[@alihasanaxe4936]

@@northshores7319 Exercise is literally the number one treatment for osteoarthritis symptoms! 😂 Yes you can't _stop_ it, but you can make it a hell of a lot better. A stronger body assists in every single aspect of life regardless, so even completely ignoring those benefits it simply doesn't make sense to stop. I'm a licensed PT, if that qualification matters to you.

[@northshores7319]

@@alihasanaxe4936 Your qualification as PT means nada to me as I have been physically hurt by doing the exercises designed by PT to 'make me better', such a torn MCL and ACL and plantar fascitis too. The biggest myth sprung on people today is that age is just a number whereas in all reality your body declines in strength and cellular function as you age. It is a lie to say that one can not die if they are physically fit.
