- Now have you ever wondered, how much a pro weighs
in their off-season and in their race season.
- And also, have you wondered how much they sleep
or how much they want to sleep.
Well, we have gone to ask the pros to find out.
(light music)
- We eat, we chat and we drink.
- I don't own a scale.
- Lightweight baby.
- What do, when you're training, what do you aim
to have sleep-wise at night in hours?
- Nine hours, so when I am in Corna, am trying
to go to bed at nine and get up at six.
At home, I probably push it to ten, eleven
and then I sleep a little bit longer there.
- You know what, my wife actually helped me out a lot
and my son's old enough now
that he is sleeping through the night properly,
so we just make sure that we go bed
around 10 or 10:30, waking up at 6:30 probably,
so sleep's normally not a problem for me.
It was in the early days when Freddy was younger
and hats off to almost everyone,
who's balancing family life and work-life
cos some of the athletes that I coach
only getting like six hours sleep.
- I try to get eight and a half to nine
and I have a little siesta
lunchtime, half an hour
and I think it really helps.
I also use the magnetic field therapy
to recover during my sleep at lunchtime.
Sleep is my only recovery tool,
so I don't do massage, I don't do stretching.
I eat well and I sleep well.
- I think normally I sleep...
In Brazil is a little bit different,
when I am in Brazil I sleep less like six to seven hours.
Not enough, but when I am training,
just training doing a training campus in Mallorca,
I sleep eight to 10 hours.
This is perfect.
So now I am sleeping eight hours,
but I think for me the good is like ten hours.
- Ideally, I'd love to get eight hours, it depends.
When I taper, I actually find it harder to sleep,
like when I am not tired, like at the moment here.
I am just a little bit agitated,
like I wanna get out and race.
So I am probably not getting massive amounts of sleep,
but then I got more time in the day
so I'll try and power-nap to make up for it.
- These days not as much,
but when I was training I tried to always get eight hours.
For me, that was the cornerstone
of good recovery was sleeping
and I was lucky I had such a supportive family
when we had young children.
My wife would always take the kids out
when I was trynna get an afternoon nap
or I'd time my afternoon nap
in between sessions with their sleeps.
- [Interviewer] How many hours sleep do you get per night?
- I reckon between seven-and-a-half
and eight-and-a-half nine and I try and get,
if it's not a long day, depending on how much training
at least an hour dose if not a good sleep in a day as well.
- [Interviewer] And last one, do you have a race weight
and an off season weight
and if you do what's the difference.
- Lightweight baby. Race weight is about kilograms
about 64 and a half kilograms
and off season weight is about 82 kilo...
Nah, I am only joking am not a boxer.
No, it's probably only about three or four more kilograms.
- It can be between like five and seven kilos,
obviously I am super lean now,
I can definitely gain a bit of weight.
My wedding dress is actually two sizes too big
so I am gonna have to win a well pretty quick
so I am not too small in that (laughs).
- [Reporter] Brilliant.
- Yeah. It's actually quite funny
that in my off-season I tend to lose weight,
not ideal, but just because I love to run.
So, in my off-season it just means
that I'll be less time on the bike
and less time in the pool
and I just love to get out there and running.
So, I tend to drop weight.
I'll be more of a run weight in my off-season
and tend to be a bit stockier on race weight.
- Gosh, she looks so stocky this one.
- You know what, even when I am at my most unfit,
last match here I broke my shoulder
and I was very out of shape.
I was only three or four kilos heavier
than I am now I guess, in peak shape.
So, not really and I am kinda lucky in that respect
because some of my training bros at home,
who are more big-boned
put on eight 10 kilos over the winter.
It's not something that I really
have to worry about too much.
- Yeah, I do have a off-season weight. Of course.
I think my race weight is about 79 to 80 kilo
and my off-season weight used to be like 88 kilo
and now it's only 85 kilo.
So, that's okay.
I really managed to stay within 5 kilo.
- I think, am not 100% sure,
if I am in great shape, I am about 75 76 kilos.
And I think, when I am like probably ever biggest
in the off-season , maybe like 81 kilos something like that.
82 would probably be like the most.
- I don't own a scale.
(interviewer laughs)
That's not a joke.
- When I am off-season I have like 73 kilos
- [Reporter] Okay.
and now I am 68.
- [Reporter] Wow. So five kilos.
- Five kilos.
- I think I have around three kilos
in different between that.
Right now am in race weight and then on Sunday,
I'll be three kilo heavier.
Goes so fast. It's around that balance.
- There were some crazy fluctuations in weight there
and I am gonna feel a little bit more confident
and relaxed now when I have my dessert later.
- (laughs) Yeah, you should.
Well also, quite a lot of fluctuations in sleep,
but definitely few that I would still aspire to,
10 hours sleep a night, oh, wouldn't you just love that.
Anyway, it is great stuff.
