MINNEAPOLIS -- For most of his nine-year career with the Minnesota Vikings, the base of Adrian Peterson's notoriously rigorous training program has been in the Houston area. Peterson retreats to his home outside Houston shortly after the Vikings' season ends, and until whatever point he decides to join his teammates in their offseason program, the running back toils in Texas, turning to trainer James Cooper for the regimen that has become the lifeblood of his preparation.
Now, the running back's workouts have an official home -- and while the seven-time Pro Bowler is sharpening his physique, the workaday crowd is sweating off those excess pounds nearby.
