JERMAINE Jenas has revealed he visited a US boot camp in a bid to build up his fitness ahead of his January move to QPR.
The midfielder, 30, has been plagued by injury problems in the past few years before his switch to Loftus Road from Spurs.
Jenas opened his account for his new club in Saturday's victory over Sunderland - his first Premier League goal for three-and-a-half years.
And the former Nottingham Forest trainee has told how he used an intense training camp across the Atlantic to get up to speed.
He said: “I knuckled down to work on my fitness. I even went to America in January to really do some hard work in a clinic out there and I’m reaping the rewards now.
“It was called Athletes Performance Clinic. They work you hard. It was condensed training. There’s no rehab. It was what my body needed. They’re very advanced.
“It was the type of thing I had to do to get back playing in the Premier League. It’s one of the toughest leagues around.”
