Wahlberg had just under 2 months to prepare for his role in Pain &
Gain. Wahlberg says about the experience:
I was 165
pounds for my last movie, but I had to walk on the set at 205. So,
that’s 40 pounds of muscle in 7 weeks. That’s a lot of physical
preparation.

off. Mark Wahlberg didn’t use a trainer. Instead, Mark Wahlberg admits
that he made this workout himself. The Mark Wahlberg was all about

Whatever it is,
you got to ease into it. Don’t try to do it all in a day. You’ve gotta
work up to it. If you do it right, do the work and get a lot of rest.

for The Fighter.

8 mile run in the morning
15 rounds of boxing in the ring
weightlifting, power plates, jump squats and jump rope
Talking about the movie, The Fighter, Mark Wahlberg says:
Fighter was
probably the hardest movie to train for. Just because, I never knew if
the movie was going to happen or not. I had a promise to Mickey and
Dickey to get the movie done. Boxing isn’t the thing where you can stop
for 6 months, and then start right up again.
I trained 4 and
a half years for that movie. It was about resting and eating what a I
want. Then, I just felt bad, and got back in the gym.

Then on Sunday, I eat whatever I want. Pancakes, 2 eggs, corn beef and
hash. But, only if it’s the chunky style. For whatever reason, I was
obsessed with chocolate chip cookies…3 small snacks and 3 good, healthy
meals is usually the norm.

Mark Wahlberg Diet Quotes
When asked about his diet for Pain & Gain, Mark Wahlberg says about his diet:
I was eating
ten times a day. Plus, the weight gainer and all this stuff, it was fun
for two weeks because the first movie I did, I had to really get thin,
but after that it was like, no more!
My diet included loads of chicken, actual pounds of chicken. I would eat at least two rotisserie chickens a day.
Eating all he could was fun at first, but then his overloading diet started to suck:
That was fun
for the first 2 weeks. And, I was eating whatever I wanted. That f and
eating what you wanted, as long as I was working out enough. Then, you
get to the point where you’re waking up at 2 a.m. to eat and you’re
still full from your 10 p.m meal.
Exercising and Eating Right
On exercising and eating right, Mark Wahlberg says:
The more you
exercise, and the more you eat right, the better you’re gonna feel. But,
don’t feel like you have to live in boot camp. You know, life is
beautiful and you should definitely enjoy yourself.
Mark Wahlberg uses Sunday as his Cheat day:
Pick a day
where you can eat what you want. I eat what I want on Sundays. Pancakes
are my favorite. If you eat right and workout, you can certainly enjoy
yourself.
Speaking about his brand Marked (#getmarked), Mark Wahlberg says:
For me the
nutrition, eating right, is 80-90 percent of it. It really comes down to
what you’re putting in your body. I’ve been fortunate to introduce a
lot of people to the products. It’s remarkable to see the results.
mark-wahlberg-diet
Asked about losing weight as he gets older, Mark Wahlberg says:
Controlling
what I eat. I make sure I have my pre-workout igniter. And then after
that [the workout], I have a shake. My metabolism has slowed down quite
a bit. I’m bringing out the boxing bag as well. I love doing things
that you can also make fun. Basketball and boxing are the most fun.
After that, I’d say hockey.
Asked about how his diet affects his results, and if he user weight gainers, Mark Wahlberg says:
100 percent. It may vary if I’m taking a mass gainer to gain weight, or just a protein shake to slim down.
Post-Workout Diet
When asked about his diet post-workout:
During a
workout, just water. Fruit: bananas, raspberries, blueberries… and
strawberries. And for protein, just whey. It’s gotta taste good. And I
eat bars. My kid are constantly taking my workout bars from my pantry.
Pain & Gain Diet
While training for Pain & Gain, Mark Wahlberg says it was all about overloading his body:
I’d wake up at
4:30 every morning, have a nice breakfast…And then a protein shake after
the workout. And then chicken, steak, fish, a little bit of past here
and there. Just really overloading, meal after meal after meal.

It really
started, when I started working out when I was in a bad place. I was
5’3″ 115 pounds [at 16]. I started taking weight gainer. It made me feel
a good. You know, I was smoking cigarettes. You start working out, you
feel better. You start feeling good.
Mark Wahlberg says about his body and weight gain for Pain & Gain:
For Pain &
Gain I had to gain weight. It really depends on what you’re trying to
accomplish. I went from 165 to 205, then 212 by the time I finished
[Pain & Gain]. Then I got down to 183 right now, in a really short
time. I want to stay around 185…180. Depending, so I’d mix a little
weight with cardio.
After filming for Pain & Gain, Mark Wahlberg says about his weight loss for the movie 2 Guns:
After we
finished Pain & Gain, I went right into 2 Guns, so I immediately had
to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. So, I started playing basketball right
away. Full court basketball every day to shed the weight.
I’m trying to
get thin again, and doing a whole different workout. Changing my diet
and my exercise. I’m doing a lot more cardio.
Right now I’m
just doing as much cardio as possible. I get on the basketball court at
5:30 in the morning. I turn the lights on while the kids are still in
bed. Whether I’m just doing 1 on 1, or if I can get more guys to the
house that early.

The Angelina
Jolie workout routine is the secret behind her weight loss. When it
comes to getting in Hollywood shape, Angelina Jolie works out with
celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson. Gunnar Peterson puts Angelina Jolie
through his tried-and-true method of circuit training and aerobic
exercise. Angelina Jolie’s weight loss also comes from a low calorie,
portion controlled diet.
angelina-jolie-workout
Angelina Jolie
workout uses a lot of circuit training. This means Jolie is constantly
doing different exercises that work her arms, abs, chest, hamstrings and
glutes. Peterson like to throw in a lot of movements that work
Angelina’s core, in addition to multiple muscle groups. Circuit training
is beneficial because it combines strength training and cardio
exercise. So, here’s the Angelina Jolie Workout Routine, as designed by
her trainer Gunnar Peterson:

Angelina Jolie Workout Routine Monday – Legs, Arms, Back & Abs
Here’s the
Monday Angelina Jolie Workout Routine. Gunnar Peterson uses this circuit
with many of his celebrity clients, as revealed in his book The

angelina-jolie-workout-legs-arms-back
The Angelina
Jolie workout allows her to feel alive as she transforms into Hollywood
shape. About her body image and transformations, she says:
I think all
women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves, we don’t
like that. It’s great to get to a place where you dismiss anything
you’re worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive. I
don’t see myself as beautiful, because I can see a lot of flaws. People
have really odd opinions. They tell me I’m skinny, as if that’s
supposed to make me happy.
Why does Angelina Jolie pay her trainer, Gunnar Peterson?
Because he has
not only designed the Angelina Jolie workout, but also because he is
there to watch her form. For the “Side Lunge with a Twist” (one of
Gunnar Peterson’s signature moves), stand with your feet parallel.
Gunnar says:
Then, take a
large step back with one foot. For balance, make sure the heel is now
perpendicular to the rest of your body. After stepping back with one
foot, lower your body down to the ground. For balance, lower your hands
down over your front leg as you perform the Side Lunge with a Twist.
Angelina Jolie Workout Tuesday – Chest, Shoulders, Arms & Abs
Here’s the
Tuesday Angelina Jolie Workout Routine. Gunnar Peterson uses this
circuit with many of his celebrity clients, as revealed in his book The
Workout: Core Secrets from Hollywood’s #1 Trainer. Angelina Jolie uses a
5-10 lb. dumbbell weight for most of the following exercises. On
Tuesday, the Angelina Jolie workout uses a circuit that focuses on her

30-45 Minutes of Cardio activity (walking, elliptical, stair machine or any other aerobic activity you enjoy)
angelina-jolie-workout-legs
Angelina Jolie
says that getting in shape leads to an overall sense of happiness. With
regard to being happy, Angelina Jolie says:
I’ve realized
that being happy is a choice. You never want to rub anybody the wrong
way or not be fun to be around, but you have to be happy. When I get
logical and I don’t trust my instincts — that’s when I get in trouble.
The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. I never feel
settled or calm. You can’t really commit to life when you feel that.
After each
circuit training session, Gunnar Peterson has Angelina Jolie do 30
minutes of aerobic activity. Usually, this is HIIT (High Intensity
Interval Training) training on the treadmill. Angelina Jolie runs for
one minute at a fast pace, followed by 30 seconds of rest at a slow
pace. Angelina repeats these 1:30 minute bouts for at least 30 minutes.
Why does Angelina Jolie pay her trainer, Gunnar Peterson, to watch her do cardio?
While Angelina
Jolie is doing cardio, Gunnar Peterson constantly changes the
slope/grade of the treadmill/machine to make the workout more
challenging. He also changes the machine up, if he notices Angelina is
getting tired of the same machine. Gunnar points out that he gets more
intensity out of his clients when he has them do 3 different machines
for 15 minutes, rather than the same machine for the same 45 minutes.
Angelina Jolie Workout Routine Wednesday – Total Body / Core Focus
Here’s the
Wednesday Angelina Jolie Workout Routine. Angelina Jolie uses a 5-10 lb.
dumbbell weight for most of the following exercises. On Wednesday, the
Angelina Jolie workout uses a circuit that has a total body/core focus.
For beginners, Gunnar Peterson only has them do the circuit training for
one set all the way through. As his clients get more advanced, Gunnar
increases the amount of times you do the entire circuit. Each workout
then ends with an aerobic workout.
For the total body / core workout, aim for 15 reps of each exercise:
Squat and Press
Reverse Lunges (each leg)
Single-leg Pelvic Thrust
Pushup into Side Plank
Cobra Planks
Reverse Dips
Pike Push Ups
V-Ups
Heel Touch Crunches
Straight Leg Crunches
Bicycle Crunches
(Repeat circuit up to 3 times)
Treadmill (Sprint 1 min/ Slow Jog 1 min – Intervals for 30-45 minutes)
angelina-jolie-workout-body
The Angelina
Jolie workout requires a lot of hard work. In addition to circuit
training and cardio, Angelina Jolie says she used yoga to get in
Hollywood shape. One personal trainer says this, when looking at
Angelina Jolie’s body:
Angelina’s
frame is long, elegant, and delicate. Her slender arms have a softer
look, toned but not very defined. Yoga, which keeps the arms constantly
engaged and lengthened, lends itself to this type of physique.
For the Squat
and Press, celebrity trainer to Beyonce and Jay-Z, Marco Borges (not
Angelina’s trainer), explains it best with the following
recommendations:
Keep your back
straight and contract your core throughout the movement. Heels should
always remain in contact with the ground. Keep your core, the muscles
that support your abs and back, tight.
Angelina Jolie Workout Routine Thursday – Legs, Arms, Back & Abs
Here’s the
Thursday Angelina Jolie Workout Routine. Gunnar Peterson uses this
circuit with many of his celebrity clients, as revealed in his book The
Workout: Core Secrets from Hollywood’s #1 Trainer. Angelina Jolie uses a
5-10 lb. dumbbell weight for most of the following exercises. On
Thursday, the Angelina Jolie workout uses a circuit that focuses on her
legs, arms, back & abs.

Forward Lunges (15 reps)
Side Lunges with Twist (15 reps)

angelina-jolie-workout-chest-shoulders-arms
Why does Angelina Jolie pay her trainer, Gunnar Peterson?
Because he is there to watch her form. Angelina Jolie’s trainer, Gunnar Peterson, says when you’re doing Wide Dumbbell Squats:
Imagine that
you’re about to sit in a chair, keeping your back straight, eyes
straight ahead, and your body spread from your heels to the balls of
your feet. As you push yourself back up, imagine you have a rope around
your belt buckle and someone’s tugging on it form the ceiling to pull
you up. Think about actively pushing through your heels.
Gunnar
Peterson, Angelina Jolie’s trainer, says that some people make mistakes,
by going too far forward. When doing Forward Lunges:
Don’t lean too
far forward. Your weight needs to stay on your heels. Shifting too far
forward transfers your weight onto your toes, putting excessive torque
on your knee joint. Instead, always keep your knee directly over your
toes. One way to spot check yourself: Perform the exercise standing
sideways to a mirror so you can watch how far down you come.
Angelina Jolie Workout Routine Friday – Chest, Shoulders, Arms & Abs

angelina-jolie-workout-legs-arms(1)
Angelina Jolie says:
Oh, God, I
struggle with low self-esteem all the time! I think everyone does. I
have so much wrong with me, it’s unbelievable! I’m odd looking.
Sometimes I think I look like a funny muppet… If you ask people what
they’ve always wanted to do, most people haven’t done it. That breaks my
heart!
On a lighter note, Angelina Jolie also says about her body, especially her skin:
I love to put
on lotion. Sometimes, I’ll watch television and go into a lotion trance
for an hour. I try to find brands that don’t taste bad, in case anyone
wants to taste me.
Angelina Jolie Workout Routine
The key to
Angelina Jolie workout routine is to do a lot of compound movement
exercises in quick succession. Compound movements involve activating
more than one joint per exercise. Squats and lunges are great examples,
where you are working the legs and hips at the same time. Gunnar changes
the workouts up, by sometimes having Angelina Jolie use a Bosu ball,
Stability ball, or resistance bands for her exercise routine. The
Angelina Jolie workout routine is five days a week, and lasts up to 2
hours per workout when she is getting in Hollywood shape.

Angelina Jolie Workout Motivation
Angelina Jolie
is motivated to look iconic in all her movie roles. This motivation
stems from her childhood, where she found it hard to connect with
others. She even feared giving her mother a hug. Now, Angelina Jolie has
found that her favorite way to connect with people is through cinema.
So, she requires herself to stay in Hollywood shape for all her movie
roles.
Angelina-Jolie-face-workout-motivation
Angelina Jolie says:
I never liked
being touched, ever. People used to say I held my breath when they were
hugging me. I still do. I grew up this carefree, happy kid then things
turned darker for me. Maybe it was because I saw that the world wasn’t
as happy a place as I had hoped it would be for me. I like to hide
behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very
private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.
Angelina Jolie Workout For Tomb Raider
The Angelina Jolie Workout For Tomb Raider involved various different exercise routines, including:
Kickboxing (see video)
Scuba Diving
Weapons Training with Special Forces (SAS)
Martial Arts and Sword Training
Muay Thai and Krav Maga
Kayaking
Soccer
Bungee Ballet
Yoga
angelina-jolie-workout-for-tomb-raider
The above activities were either required, or just for fun, in order to get in shape to play “Lara Croft” in Tomb Raider.
When I first
got here I felt like this scrawny geek, this little scrawny actress from
L.A…I was extremely out of shape. I hadn’t gone to a gym in
years…Through all the training my body had changed, and my mind had
changed, because I had a totally different focus…I felt like I was being
formed into a special agent.
Tomb Raider Director Simon West says for Tomb Raider, Angelina Jolie worked out:
Six days per
week, doing six or seven disciplines per day to get in shape for the
film. Special weight training, and a special diet. Angelina would start
with yoga at six in the morning, and then she would go do weapons
training.
angelina jolie tomb raider workout
Angelina Jolie also did yoga for Tomb Raider. Jolie says:
I never though
I’d like yoga. I though I’d hate it, but I really like it. We wanted her
to really be as whole a human being as possible. I think we wanted her
to have that fire–and that bite–but also to be really relaxed.
Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider 2 Workout
The Angelina
Jolie Tomb Raider 2 workout continued where she left off. She had just
finished a movie where she had weight loss from looking like she had
gone through a famine. So, Angelina Jolie had to gain weight for Tomb
Raider 2.
Before training for the film, Angelina Jolie says:
I’ll do running or a little bit of boxing. But, anybody who has a kid knows that running after a kid is enough.
angelina-jolie-workout-tomb-raider
Angelina Jolie Diet
The Angelina
Jolie diet involves a lot of clean (non-processed) eating, with high
protein foods. Angelina Jolie’s weight loss comes from a low calorie,
portion controlled diet. People Magazine reports that her go-to diet for
getting in Hollywood shape consists of:
Sea Bass
Fruit
Vegetables
Soy Milk
angelina-jolie-diet-workout-2
This type of
diet is high in protein, and also contains an ample amount of complex
carbs (fruit, vegetables, soy) and healthy fats (sea bass). Angelina
Jolie even claims to go so far as to say that when she is getting in
Hollywood shape, all she drinks is soy milk.
For Tomb Raider, the Angelina Jolie diet included:
They’ve got me
on a program of vitamins, and teas, and protein shakes. I’m trying to
have that high protein, low carb thing. I’m like this weird experiment.
They’re all seeing what they can do to me.
angelina jolie diet
For Salt,
Angelina Jolie stayed away from fat. Her stunt coordinator, Simon Crane,
says she used a 70 carb / 30 protein (in percent) diet. Once she was at
her ideal weight, the Angelina Jolie diet shifted to 60 carb / 40
protein (in percent). Self Magazine interviewed her stunt coordinator,
Simon Crane. When asked about her specific diet for Salt, he says:
Our strategy
was she has to have 70% carbohydrates, and 30% protein diet with an
anaerobic training regime as opposed to aerobic, so she can put muscle
on without losing weight. Sticking to 4 or 5 meals a day routine as much
as possible. Then, when she reaches a good body level that we like, we
change it to 60%/40% favoring carbs. No junk food, no empty calories,
and alcohol only on weekends.
From recent magazine reports and interviews, the Angelina Jolie diet includes:
Low-calorie meals when trying to lose weight
Lean proteins like chicken, fish, and tofu
5-6 small meals throughout the day
Healthy, unprocessed food (except on cheat days)
Angelina Jolie says she goes through phases, where she sticks to the same food
Her “soup phase” lasted awhile, and helped her lose weight
Healthy fats, including mornings where Angelina Jolie eats a spoonful of coconut oil (for glowing skin)
Breakfast consists whole grain cereals and/or fruit with egg whites
Lunch is usually 3 oz. chicken, and a salad mixed with steamed broccoli, and 2 tbsp. olive oil/ vinegar
Dinner looks like 5 oz. fish, steamed vegetables, and fruit for dessert
Angelina Jolie Diet: No’s
A major secret
why Angelina Jolie always looks so good is that she avoids unhealthy
poisons to her body. Although Angelina Jolie may drink on the weekend,
but she is forbidden to do so during the week. Also, Angelina Jolie has a
vice for red meat. Still, Jolie keeps red meat consumption to a minimum
when getting ready for a Hollywood movie. Angelina Jolie also had to
give up cigarettes while training for her Hollywood roles.
angelina-jolie-body-back-with-brad-pittWhile
getting ready for her role in Salt, Angelina Jolie says her new diet is
a challenge:
It’s an interesting test because I used to smoke and drink, and I used to not eat breakfast, [just] have a cigarette and coffee.
Angelina
Jolie’s trainer, Gunnar Peterson, says you have to cut down on poisonous
foods. Poisonous foods, in this sense, are the ones that force your
body retain water. It’s hard to get muscle definition and curves when
you retain water. Your body just looks like a balloon. Foods that retain
water include:
Salt
Cheese
Red Meat
Processed Foods
Alcohol
Wheat (Signs You’re Gluten Intolerant)
Thus, you
should never eat these food, or at least stick to them in moderation.
Foods/Techniques that Hollywood stylists claim to prevent bloating
include:
Fruits
Vegetables
Eating Slowly
Not Overeating
Staying hydrated (lemon water, especially!!!)
Gunnar
Peterson, Angelina Jolie’s trainer, says that you should find a healthy
mix of protein, fats and carbohydrates for each meal. Peterson says to
consume 3 to 5 oz. of protein with every meal. This can come from
chicken, tofu, turkey, or even rice and beans. Gunnar Peterson also
makes sure that Angelina Jolie, and all his clients, avoid white flour
and sugar. These are the 2 worst food for your waistline, and they’re
often hidden in almost everything!
Angelina Jolie Weight Loss
Angelina Jolie
weight loss occurs due to her eating very little calories. Angelina
Jolie says that her weight loss came from a low-calorie diet combined
with breastfeeding. Fruits and vegetables were the key to Angelina
Jolie’s weight loss. Angelina Jolie says that sometimes she has recently
looked ‘frail’ due to coping with her mother’s death in conjunction
with breastfeeding her baby, Shiloh.
angelina-jolie-workout-weight-loss-arms-legs
Breastfeeding
can burn up to 500 calories a day. Angelina Jolie’s weight loss allowed
her to get back in her size 26 (UK scale) jeans. Still, a source told
People Magazine that Angelina Jolie wants “women to realize they are
beautiful at any size.” During and after her pregnancy, Angelina Jolie
also told People that chocolate was her biggest food weakness.
Angelina-Jolie-weight-loss-with-brad-pitt
Angelina Jolie
lost so much weight in 2011, that she was being accused of anorexia. At
the “Kung Fu Panda” premiere, Angelina Jolie was reported to weigh only
99 pounds (Angelina Jolie is 5′ 8″). Rumors swirled that she was only
eating 600 calories per day. Star reported that Brad Pitt was even
leaving food around the house, in hopes she would find and eat it.
Fitness expert Steve Jordan says:
She looks like
she is not eating enough protein and her body is in a catabolic state.
This means her body is eating its own muscle tissue to supply a protein
source. Your body will basically eat itself and deteriorate. But, in the
long run, you’ll notice a loss of muscle tissue.
Despite the anorexia rumors, Angelina Jolie says her family keeps her healthy and happy:
Instead of
people saying I look like a person dealing with something emotionally,
they assume it’s because I want to fit into skinny jeans…First and
foremost comes my family and my life with Brad. We have so much joy in
raising our children and teaching them about the world that nothing
really compares to that.
Angelina Jolie
has looked healthy lately, surrounded by her loving children. In fact,
Angelina Jolie’s children have even inspired her weight loss by means of
a video game! Her oldest son, Maddox, suggested she try the video game
called Let’s Pilates. Angelina Jolie tried the game, and fell in love
with it. She now says she plays it three times per week to stay in
shape.

The Matthew
McConaughey workout is designed to get the body you see in Magic Mike.
When not in the gym with Gunnar Peterson, Matthew McConaughey also had
to spend time rehearsing his dance routines. Matthew McConaughey was
already in great shape, but his workouts were about circuit training to
give his physique that extra “polish.”
matthew-mcconaughey-headshot
Matthew
McConaughey choose celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson to help train for
his role in Magic Mike. This meant showing up to “The Compound” (aptly
named because it’s hidden from the paparazzi), in Beverly Hills at 6 in
the morning. In the 2 weeks leading up to the dance filming, Matthew
McConaughey even worked out with Gunnar Peterson twice a day. The two
have worked together since Sahara in 2005.
Matthew McConaughey Workout Routine Monday – Legs, Abs & Cardio
Here’s the
Monday Matthew McConaughey workout routine. Do Circuit 1 and Circuit 2,
then repeat each circuit 2 more times. Then, move on to Circuit 3
(cardio). Gunnar Peterson will switch up the rotation of each exercise
in the circuit. Do that if you wish to keep your body on edge through
the workout routine.
Do Circuit 1 & 2 (then repeat 2 more times), then proceed to Circuit 3.
Rest 1 min between circuit, but don’t rest between each set.
Circuit 1 – 3 sets total
Dumbbell Squat and Press (10-12 reps)
Dumbbell Forward Lunges (10-12 reps)
Dumbbell Side Lunges (10-12 reps)
Stability Ball Leg Curls (10-12 reps)
Circuit 2 – 3 sets, 30 secs per exercise, 15 secs rest every 2nd exercise.
Forearm Plank with Leg Lift
Twisting Planks
Crunches
Reverse Crunches
Walking Planks
Leg Lifts
Abdominal Twists
Mountain Climbers
Circuit 3 – Cardio (Repeat this circuit 9 times)
5 minutes on any Cardio Machine
1 minute Jumping Rope ($6 on Amazon)
Matthew-McConaughey-workout abs
Now, why repeat
the Cardio circuit 9 times? Because Gunnar Peterson splits his clients’
cardio circuits that way. He finds that people work harder when asked
to train for short bouts of time. If he were to say, “go on that cardio
machine for an hour,” his clients would take it easy. Matthew
McConaughey was motivated to work his lower body hard for Magic Mike:
Vanity, baby!
You get a bunch of guys who are already in shape, make sure they get in
peak shape, tell them that you’re going to be in a stripping movie. That
your backside is going to be 40 feet tall and wide in the center of the
screen.
Matthew McConaughey Workout Routine Tuesday Routine – Chest, Shoulders, Cardio
Here’s the
Tuesday Matthew McConaughey workout routine. Do Circuit 1 through
Circuit 3, then repeat each circuit 2 more times. Then, move on to

exercise in the circuit. Do Circuit 1 – 3 (then repeat 2 more times),
then proceed to Circuit 4.
Rest 1 min between circuit, but don’t rest between each set.

Machine 2 – 5 minutes
Machine 3 – 4 minutes
matthew-mcconaughey workout2
Gunnar
Peterson’s 4-5-6-6-5-4 Cardio routine may sound strange, but it makes
sense. He has found that people tend to slack off if he tells them to
hit the treadmill for half an hour. So, he has you pick 3 different
cardio machines (or plyometric exercises), and you alternate doing
4-5-6-6-5-4 minutes on each of them.
Gunnar Peterson
has found that his clients get much better results this way. It keeps
the mind fresh as well. Speaking of minds, what did Matthew McConaughey
have his mind on, while working out for Magic Mike?
Matthew McConaughey told GQ:
Curls for the
Girls! They say that the average football player starts going downhill
at 26. At 30, they’re saying Roger Federer is old. I’m working on
having my debut in the UFC at 45. Nah…not really. But I am just trying
to stay limber.

matthew_mcconaughey_back_butt
Gunnar Peterson, Matthew McConaughey’s trainer, says that some people go too far forward when doing Forward Lunges:
Don’t lean too
far forward. Your weight needs to stay on your heels. Shifting to far
forward transfers your weight onto your toes, putting excessive torque
on your knee joint. Instead, always keep your knee directly over your
toes. One way to spot check yourself: Perform the exercise standing
sideways to a mirror so you can watch how far down you come.

Matthew McConaughey Workout Routine Descriptions
The key to
Matthew McConaughey workout routine is to do a lot of compound movement
exercises in quick succession. Compound movements involve activating
more than one joint per exercise. Squats and lunges are great examples,
where you are working the legs and hips at the same time.
Gunnar Peterson
also likes to change the posture his clients use. For example, he loves
to get his clients, including Matthew McConaughey, to sit on a
stability ball during most of his exercises. This challenges your body
to keep the core tight throughout each exercise.
Dumbbell Squats
In his book, Matthew McConaughey’s trainer, Gunnar Peterson, says when you’re doing Dumbbell Squats:
Imagine that
you’re about to sit in a chair, keeping your back straight, eyes
straight ahead, and your body spread from your heels to the balls of
your feet. As you push yourself back up, imagine you have a rope around
your belt buckle and someone’s tugging on it form the ceiling to pull
you up. Think about actively pushing through your heels.
Matthew McConaughey Running
When not
working out with Gunnar, Matthew McConaughey loves to go running. This
is often the reason the paparazzi gets so many action shots of Matthew
McConaughey running outdoors. He told Men’s Fitness:
When I work
out, I like to run. If I see a tree, I’ll stop and do pull ups.
Randomly, I’ll do push ups, too. And this is how I get the body I want!
Matthew McConaughey Abs
The Matthew
McConaughey workout focuses specifically on circuit training that works
his abs. Matthew McConaughey’s ab circuits contain a lot of planks and
legs lifts. This gets you away from having to do too many crunch
variations. Gunnar Peterson doesn’t like to do too many sets of crunches
with his clients. He’s always looking for other variations.
matthew-mcconaughey-magic-mike-workout
Matthew McConaughey Weight Loss
Matthew
McConaughey has gone under extreme weight loss to play an electrician
with AIDS in the movie, Dallas Buyer’s Club. Matthew says that he went
on an all-liquid weight loss diet to promote loss weight quickly.
Critics point to how your liver and kidneys are affected by such a diet.
It’s much better to lose weight by dropping caloric intake over time.
But, Matthew
McConaughey was in a hurry and used a drastic method. Matthew
McConaughey is taking his weight loss in strides, though, as he says:
I dared myself.
I haven’t been this 9th grade. It takes your body a while to understand
that it has to feed off itself and that it’s not going to get something
else. It’s a bit of a spiritual cleanse, mental cleanse. I’m also
drinking a lot of tea.
matthew mcconaughey weight loss
Matthew
McConaughey was snubbed by not getting an Oscar nomination for Magic
Mike. So, Hollywood insiders are calming that this fueled his motivation
to get thin for his new role. They claim that such dramatic weight loss
translates into Oscar nominations amongst his peers. He is playing an
AIDS patient who has to find underground drugs, after his doctor just
tells him to “go, die.”
Matthew McConaughey Workout Motivation
The Matthew
McConaughey workout was about being naked in front of 300 women. That
was all the workout motivation Matthew McConaughey needed, as he says:
Naked in front
of 300 women, and a camera that is immortalizing that as$! Vanity is a
great motivation, to be fair. Plus, vanity is good for commerce when
you’re a male stripper.
Matthew McConaughey Diet
The Matthew
McConaughey diet involves a lot of clean eating, with low-GI foods.
Based on Gunnar Peterson’s advice, the Mathew McConaughey diet consists
mostly of:
spinach
broccoli
beans
cabbage
peas
cucumbers
plums
peppers
high fiber, low sugar cereals
His
nutritionist tapers his carbohydrate intake, so that he eats less as the
day goes on. Also, he is on a very low-calorie diet for weight loss.
Matthew McConaughey says:
As I’ve gotten
older, I realize that being fit and in shape is 90% diet. It doesn’t
matter how much you run, it’s how little or how much you eat.
matthew-mcconaughey diet
Gunnar Peterson
makes sure all his clients eat a 50% carb /30% protein /20% fat diet.
Gunnar Peterson also lives by the “out of sight, out of mind”
philosophy. If you don’t have bad food in your house, you’re less likely
to eat it. They like to cycle what vegetables Matthew eats, in order to
take full advantage of Mother Nature’s antioxidants.
Matthew
McConaughey’s nutritionist makes sure his diet includes a whey protein
shake every few hours. McConaughey’s diet includes a protein shake upon
waking up in the morning, and in between meals.
Nutritionist Chris Lockwood Ph.D., says he put Matthew McConaughey on the following supplements:
Multi-vitamin
Co-Q10 supplement
Green tea formula
Fenugreek seed extract (for fat loss)
Forskolin (for vascularity)
7-Keto DHEA (fat-burning)
D-Aspartic Acid (A.M. and post-training)
Pre-workout combo of creatine, taurine, beta-alanine, caffeine
During workout: combo of BCAA’s, Glutamine, electrolytes
Matthew McConaughey Diet: Wine!
Matthew
McConaughey got to incorporate wine in his diet. His nutritionist, Chris
Lockwood, Ph.D., has found that drinking one glass of wine per day
increases muscle vascularity. This means that wine now and then
increases the size, especially the amount of air and water, that your
muscles hold.

The Sandra
Bullock workout is a mixture of dance, cardio, yoga and Pilates. Sandra
has been spotted working out six days per week, for 60-90 minute
sessions. Sandra Bullock is working out with Simone De La Rue, of Body
By Simone. This New York dance studio has been frequented by many
celebrities, including Beyonce, Anne Hathaway, and Kate Hudson.

Simone classes. Luckily, you can now subscribe to BBS TV.
Simone created
her Body By Simone technique throughout years of dancing. Protecting her
body (while doing 8 Broadway shows per week) was important to her.
Connecting to yourself via a mirror, with correct posture, is at the
core of Simone’s program.
Sandra Bullock Workout With Eden Paul
In the past,
Sandra Bullock worked out with trainer Eden Paul. Eden Paul got Sandra
Bullock ready for her movie roles and the red carpet. Eden says that the
best 3 moves she used for the Sandra Bullock workout were:
Reverse Lunges
Wide Squat
Chair Squat
They also do a
lot of Pilates, weight training, and even kickboxing. The two work
together when Sandra is in L.A. When asked what her motivation for
working out is, Sandra Bullock said the simple answer is:
Um, they pay us to do this in order to look good on film.

Sandra Bullock Diet
The Sandra
Bullock diet is about eating the right carbs. Choosing the right carbs
means finding the ones full of fiber, and low on the GI scale. This
typically means lots of vegetables. Sandra eats 5 to 6 times a day to
keep her energy flowing and metabolism going.
From various interviews, the Sandra Bullock diet includes:
black beans
brown rice
all sorts of vegetables
chicken and fish
apples, kiwis, and bananas
Sandra Bullock
is America’s sweetheart, and she also has a sweet tooth. Sandra admits
that she loves sweets, including raw cookie dough and pastries. She’s
allowed one cheat day per week, so Sandra gets her binges in then.
Sandra Bullock
stays young by combining fun workouts with a conscious diet. By doing
dance-oriented workouts, Sandra keeps going back. And, by having a
cheat day for sweets, she can wait until her cheat day to indulge.

The Brad Pitt
workout and diet was designed to transform him into Achilles for Troy.
Transforming into Achilles meant becoming a character idealized in many
books and movies. Known for having an absolutely symmetrical body, Brad
Pitt says this was the toughest workout he has ever done. Considering
Brad Pitt’s Fight Club workout, that says a lot.

Brad Pitt
reached out to Gregory Joujon-Roche, a top Hollywood personal trainer.
Together, Brad Pitt and Gregory Joujon-Roche designed a workout that
would get him the symmetrical look he needed for Troy. Roche, who
charges $5,000 per week, also came with access to a masseuse,
nutritionist, martial arts instructor, yoga instructor, and core
trainer. Thus, when it came to transforming into Achilles, the Brad Pitt
Workout has a huge support team.

Get Britney
Spears Abs using her “I’m A Slave For You” Routine. She worked with
celebrity trainer Bobby Strom. Britney Spears worked out 90 minutes a
day. She did her abs routine 3 times a week. She also did treadmill
cardio (30-40 mins) twice per week.
Britney Spears Abs
Here is Bobby
Strom talking about the abs/core circuit made famous for shaping Britney
Spears abs in the “I’m A Slave For You” video. The core circuit listed
is demonstrated in the video below:
Britney Spears Abs Routine: Day 1
Work your way up to 3-4 sets of each exercise (50 reps).
Warm-up: 15 minutes on treadmill
Stomach Crunches (50 reps) (on Bosu Ball or stability ball)
Alternating Bicycle Crunches (50 reps) (Bosu Ball Ball)
Plank with Knee Thrust (50 reps) (see video below)
Reverse Crunches (50 reps) (resistance ball)
Core Stabilizing Hip Twists (50 reps)
Britney Spears Abs Routine: Day 2
Work your way
up to 750-1000 total repetitions. As you work your way toward 750-1000
reps, go to failure each time. Try 10, then 20, then 30 at a time.
Increase your reps each week. You will find that your body adapts over
time when you increase reps each workout.
Britney Spears did 4-5 sets of 50 reps:
Warm-up: 15 minutes on treadmill
Alternating Bicycle Crunches (50 reps) (Bosu Ball Ball)
Double Leg Oblique Exercise (50 reps)
Mountain Climbers (50 reps with Bosu Ball Ball)
Plank with Knee Thrust (50 reps)
In the Double
Leg Oblique Exercise, the key is to control your legs as they go from
side to side. Mountain climbers will work the core and your arms.

The Jason
Statham Workout turns him into the tough guy that is seen on film so
often. To get his physique, Jason Statham works out with ex-Navy SEAL
Logan Hood. Jason Statham also goes on a very strict, low-sugar diet. He
trains to be a tough guy by focusing on high energy, plyometric
exercises. He weaves in a ton of circuit-training, combined with
explosive strength training exercises.
jason-statham-face
Statham got his
break in Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels because he resembled the
street thug necessary for the role. In fact, he was actual working as a
black market operative at the time. From there, he has been seen in
movies like: Snatch, The Italian Job, Crank, Transporter, The
Expendables, and most recently Parker.
At first, the
Jason Statham workout was a secret. But, after Jason Statham dished his
entire workout, and the article only listed a few steps from it, Statham
insisted that his entire workout be divulged. But first, its time for
an attitude check, directly from the words of Jason Statham:
I’m a firm
believer in attitude. Some people just don’t have that desire, and they
need a good kick in the a$$. Look, you’ve come here to train, let’s
f@#$ing train. Your body’s like a piece of dynamite. You can tap it with
a pencil all day, but you’ll never make it explode. You hit it once,
with a hammer, bang! Get serious, do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and a
half of nonsense. it’s so much more rewarding.
Jason Statham’s Personal Trainer, Logan Hood
Logan Hood, the
Ex-Navy SEAL behind the Jason Statham workout routine, started working
with Jason Statham in 2008 filming Death Race. Hood is known for helping
many celebrity clients. He has worked with people like Zac Efron and
Liam Hemsworth. Hood makes sure there is a lot of intensity packed into
their workouts. By keeping his clients heart rate up during their
workouts, they burn fat and tone muscles at the same time.
Trainer Logan
Hood likes to use workouts that bring the muscles close to failure, but
then explode plyometrically. For many of his workouts, he likes to use
the dynamic/static/dynamic approach. This means that you alternate
between explosive movements, and holding the weights locked out, Logan
Hood says:
The key is to move as explosively as possible after the hold.

Jason Statham Monday Workout Routine = Pyramid Workout
For these
exercises, Jason Statham uses the Pyramid style of lifting. Here, you
start by doing 1 of each exercise. Then, you go up to 2 reps. Then, 3,
4, 5, 6, and finally to where you do 7 reps of each. Move onto the next
exercise after each set. So, the workout routine looks like this:
1-2-3-4-5-6-7 of each exercise. This is a total body workout, as it will
work your arms, back abs, and legs.
Warm Up: Rowing Machine-10 mins (warm up at 20 strokes/min)
Pushups
Pull Ups
Bodyweight Squats
Stiff-LeggedDeadlifts
Hanging Knee Raises
Cool Down: Rowing Machine-10 mins (cool down at 20 strokes/min)
Jason-Statham-workout-arms-back
Jason Statham does rowing to warm up and cool down. Logan Hood says that rowing is such a great exercise because:
With each pull
of the simulated oars, you’re not only getting a great cardio workout,
your engaging about 15 different muscles at once!
Jason Statham Tuesday Workout Routine = Static & Big 5 55 Workout
Static Circuit:
Do each of the following exercises for 4 sets. For each exercise, hold
the weight extended for 30 seconds. Then, rest for 10 secs between sets.
Warm Up: Rowing Machine-10 mins (warm up at 20 strokes/min)
Flat Bench Press
Shoulder Military Press
Dumbbell Chest Flys
Dumbbell Tricep Pressdowns
Bar Dips
Kettlebell Farmer Hold

Cool Down: Rowing Machine-10 mins (cool down at 20 strokes/min)
jason-statham-workout-body
“Big 5 55
Workout” Circuit: For these exercises, Jason Statham performs 5
different exercises. He does each one for ten reps, then lowers the reps
by 1 each time. Next, he does 9 reps of each exercise. Then, 8…all the
way down to one. This gets you to the point where you have done 55 reps
of each exercise.
So, Jason Statham does 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of each exercise:
Weighted Front Squat
Pullups
Wide Grip Pushups
Power Cleans
Knee to Elbows (Bring your knees to your elbows on a pullup bar and hold)
Finish this workout with:
Cardio: Treadmill 30 mins HIIT (1 min sprint, 1 min sec jog)
The Jason
Statham workout isn’t the typical bodybuilding workout for a reason. He
isn’t interested in muscle mass, because he cares more about lean
muscle, explosiveness and agility:
Muscle men grow
on trees. They can tense their muscles and look good in a mirror. So
what? I’m more interested in physical strength that’s going to help me
run, jump, twist, punch.
ason Statham Wednesday Workout Routine = Interval Training – Rowing & Boxing
Here, you use a rowing machine to perform interval training.
Rowing Machine: Warmup 2000 meters @ 15-20 SPM (strokes per minute)

jason-statham-workout-back
Jason Statham loves to workout with his buddy, Bas Rutten. When they box and train together, Jason Statham says:
He uses punching combinations. He’ll call out ‘one’ a left. Then, ‘two’ a right. Or ‘three’ a left, a right, and a left hook.
Jason Statham Thursday Workout Routine = Lower Body & Pushups

jason-statham-workout
Jason Statham’s
trainer, ex-Navy SEAL trainer Logan Hood, says it’s not just about
doing intense workouts. It’s what you eat, how you react, and how long
you sleep that’s just as important. Logan Hood says:
Training is
only one piece of the puzzle. Sleep is huge. Stress is huge. Fuel you’re
putting in your body is an enormous component.
Jason Statham Friday Workout Routine = Cumulative Routine

Jason Statham also likes to do plyometrics exercises. He uses the following exercises when he has the time:
squat thrusts
jump rope
burpees
star jumps
pushups
tuck jumps
jason-statham-workout-routine
The key to plyometrics is to go hard, and explode through the exercise:
If I’m doing a pushup, I go down slowly and, bang, push up.
As with any
workout, you want to change the reps and sets. Increase them as time
goes by in order to push yourself into becoming better. Logan Hood,
Statham’s trainer, says:
In Jason’s
case, I could get him to do a large volume of work, as long as I kept
changing the sets and repetitions. He would prefer to do twice as much
work, as long as there was a lot of variety.
Jason Statham’s Core & Diving Past
Jason Statham
competed in the 1992 World Championships in diving. His diving past
allowed him to build a strong core, which is the foundation of his
workouts today. For his abs, Jason Statham used to do 500 situps/other
variations a day, while training. These variations included leg lifts,
or “pike ups” as he likes to call them.
jason-statham-abs
Jason Statham Expendables 2 Workout
The Jason
Statham Expendables 2 workout was built to get him bulked up for the
movie. When being cast beside Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Arnold
Schwarzenegger, and Randy Coture he had to gain muscle mass. His workout
program included much of the Jason Statham workout routine listed
above, including:
Sled Rope Pulls
Circuit Training: 3 pullups, 5 pushups, 7 squats (repeat circuit for 5 minutes)
Stiff-legged Deadlifts
Standing Military Press
Split Squats
Hanging Knee Raises
Upper Body Ab Crunches
While filming
in Bulgaria, the crew of the Expendables 2 had to use a hotel gym.
Still, they were able to get in good workouts when they had time. This
included having Sylvester Stallone negotiate with the hotel, so that the
gym could stay open at night.
Jason Statham Diet
The Jason
Statham diet focuses on a low-calorie, low-sugar diet. He sticks to
around 2000 calories. Here’s some of the more salient aspects of the
Jason Statham diet:
No fruit juice
No alcohol
No bread, pasta or sweets
No sugar/flour
1.5 gallons of water/day
plain yogurt, with berries
egg whites
chicken
veggies
fish
nuts
protein shakes
Jason-Statham-Workout3
It was hard, at first, for Jason Statham to stick to this kind of diet:
I never gave a F#$@ about a calorie. An apple? It’s good for me. I’d have five. Bananas? Eat the bunch.
With
dedication, Jason Statham was able to lose 17 pounds in 6 weeks. He also
writes down everything he eats in a food journal. His trainer, Logan
Hood, while getting ready for Death Race, says:
We had to get
his diet straightened out first; that was probably the hardest thing we
had to accomplish. Then, we did a lot of circuit training and some
weight lifting, and in the first ten weeks we completed a run in the
mountains once a week.
Of course,
Jason Statham loves to drink, especially beer. But, when training for a
movie, he has to stop drinking beer completely. Logan Hood says:
Yeah, its a
ritualistic thing for some people. but my advice is to consider alcohol a
high calorie carbohydrate, so drinking beer is usually not as good as
having vodka on the rocks or a glass of red wine. You’re drinking for
the alcohol, so there’s no reason to bulk it with a lot of sugar.

The Jessica
Biel Workout combines walking lunges, sprinting, cardio workouts, and
yoga. Her secret to staying thin is working out with celebrity trainer
Jason Walsh. Jason Walsh is famous for training many actors, athletes,

I have an
amazing trainer, Jason Walsh, who I work with two or three times a week.
We do lots of circuit and strength training, especially for my legs and
back, because its quite weak from years of gymnastics. I concentrate on
making everything strong, and you can’t do that with just cardio.
Celebrity Trainer Jason Walsh
The goal of the
Jessica Biel workout is to make sure that her body is thin and toned.
Celebrity trainer Jason Walsh has Jessica Biel do weight training, but

jason walsh personal trainer
Jessica Biel’s
trainer, Jason Walsh says you shouldn’t focus on problem areas. Instead,
use his goal for is to keep Jessica Biel thin, toned, and flexible.
Jason Walsh says about plyometrics:
These hurt.
Even athletes hate them. After Jessica did these the first time, she
would’ve punched me if she had the energy. The secret to Jessica Biel’s
body is her commitment. She is highly committed and dedicated, and for
her its a lifestyle that she’s committed to. She enjoys the way she
feels when she works out, and the results that she gets.
To start each
workout, Jason Walsh has Jessica Biel do Walking Lunges. He says that
Walking Lunges are important because they stretch the larger leg and
glute muscles. For her core, Jessica does Seated Russian Twists. She
uses a 5 pound medicine ball, and twists to each side 15 times. 3 sets.
Jessica also does Hanging Leg Raises, which are an important core
exercise because they:
Don’t build a six-pack but they flatten the abs. Jessica hates them, but she powers through.

Jason Walsh recommends getting a medicine ball to increase the muscles you work during your exercises:
Get a medicine
ball and do a lunge with a twist while you are holding the ball. Those
are great. You are activating so many muscles at once, and you are using
those muscles over so many different planes.

Jason Walsh says that:
The best way to
lose weight is to blend nutrition, exercise, and physical therapy.
Working out at a gym for more than an hour is a waste of time. It’s all
about intensity, not how long you spend in the gym.

jessica biel gym workout
Jason Walsh says that the plyometrics used in Jessica Biel’s workouts are really intense:
We do full body movements. You are pretty much using as many muscles at once, which in turn will jack that heart rate up.
Jessica Biel Workout Alternatives
In addition to
Jessica Biel’s workout routine above, she also likes to go hiking or
play volleyball at the beach while rocking her bikini body.
When you get
out into the wilderness and strip all of the stuff in your everyday
life, you really gain a great respect for your own life, simply as it
is. Needing things starts to feel like, Oh, I kind of have everything.

Jessica Biel likes to get out of they gym to add variation to her workouts:
I’m a big
advocate of recreation sports and stuff. If someone can get out there,
even if its a hike or something like that, just to break up the monotony
of going to the gym, I really like that.
Growing up, Mia Hamm was Jessica Biel’s idol. Jessica played soccer, and says about Mia Hamm:
That was the person I wanted to be, not a supermodel. I wanted ripped abs, muscular thighs, beautiful arms.
Jessica Biel Diet
Elle Magazine
reports that Jessica Biel frequents Real Food Daily, a restaurant known
for its organic vegan cuisine. She also likes M Cafe, because:
It has a lot of
macrobiotic options. But, you can find healthy food pretty much
anywhere. I do a lot of cooking at home using grains and vegetables.

Other magazines, including Shape and Us Magazine report that Jessica Biel’s secrets to staying thin, include eating a diet of:
almonds
whole wheat toast
oatmeal
fish
rice
vegetables
fruit
chocolate
Her trainer, Jason Walsh’s advice to those trying to lose weight:
We eat too
much, too often. Cut down on your portion size. Breakfast would be whole
grain bread French toast with egg whites and cinnamon. For a
mid-morning snack, we’d do a mixed berry protein shake. Lunch might be a
sweet potato tuna melt. An afternoon snack might be hummus with celery
sticks. Dinner would be spaghetti and meatballs with spaghetti squash
and meatballs made of turkey or chicken breast.

Jessica is also famous for having a scheduled cheat day:
When I’m
working and I eat healthy all week, then I give myself one day, usually
Sunday, when I eat just what I want. You have to otherwise your mind
goes a little nutso.
Jessica Biel
recently began eating fermented vegetables. She told InStyle Magazine
that she eats fermented vegetables because they are:
Great for my skin and digestion.

The key to the
Jessica Biel workout is actually her diet. Jessica Biel got skinny by
reducing calories through clean living. Her abs are more of a result of
her diet than the Jessica Biel workout.
