Hauns Brereton, Hawaii’s workout king?

Hauns Brereton is a 6-foot-7, 210 pound forward for Hawaii.

Playing just under 20 minutes a game last season -- his first for the Rainbow Warriors -- Brereton averaged 7.7 points and 3.2 boards. But just because the Bartlett, TN, native isn’t a star doesn’t mean he spends the summer months loafing by the pool and maintaining his tan.

Brereton uploaded a video to youtube earlier this week showing him doing some impressive back yard workouts. And by impressive, I mean that you may no longer need those P90x or Insanity workout videos.

Have you ever thought to cut a four-foot log to hold above your had while you run up a hill? Didn’t think so:

“Those are a combination of workouts from the time I’ve been here,” Brereton, who has been in Memphis for the past month, told Warriors Insider.

Whenever his basketball career comes to a close, I think that Hauns has a career as an intimidating personal trainer if he can develop a German accent.
