Magnus Carlsen Daily Routine - Day in the life of an Athlete

Magnus Carlsen is a Norwegian chess grandmaster who has been playing the game since he was five years old. He became a full-time player by the time he was 15 and has since won numerous tournaments and titles. However, after close to 20 years of playing, he felt the need for a change in his life and started to prioritize his health and fitness to maintain his performance. *Daily routine:* Carlsen's daily routine revolves around preparing his body for the rigorous demands of chess tournaments. He focuses on his diet, which is mostly vegetarian and includes a superfood smoothie or fresh pressed green juice for breakfast, salad for lunch, and vegetable stir fry with brown rice for dinner. During tournaments, he focuses on getting enough protein to maintain his energy over long periods of time. To maintain his fitness, he runs intervals on the treadmill to increase his endurance, practices yoga for core strength, and plays soccer. He also hires a personal chef to keep his diet on track. During tournaments, Carlsen conserves his energy by relaxing and not sitting for a full game of chess. He suggests walking away during an opponent's move and not sitting for seven hours straight, as it's hard to maintain full concentration for very long. For Carlsen, preparation for chess tournaments is as physical as it is mental, making it important to be in complete control of his faculties.
