Living in one of the most gifted bodies in the NBA is the Los Angeles Clippers' Blake Griffin.

Blake Griffin has taken on yoga with a basketball in hand. Combining the conditioning of mind and core, yoga also stretches and strengthens the muscles of the body. And when you're a lean 6'10, 251lbs like Blake, you got a lot of body to keep in shape.

Being a professional basketball player is among the most physically demanding of professions with eighty-two games of regular-season full-body exhaustion. Blake Griffin's fitness is imperative to his playing style because, even at his size, Blake maneuvers his body as explosive and strong as any.
