What Type of Workout Would James Bond Do?
Have you seen Daniel Craig's famous swimsuit scene in Casino Royale. Well if you have, you would realize that he has instantly become the new male role model when it comes to a fit and toned body. Seven years before the most recent James Bond flick was Fight Club. In Fight Club, Brad Pitt set the standard for the ideal male physique. While Brad Pitt looked amazing in Fight Club, I would say that Daniel Craig may have set the new standard for men to shoot for. Daniel had a bit more muscle than Brad, but Brad was a bit more toned. Brad's Fight Club Workout most likely consisted of considerably more cardio than Daniel's. If I was to to teach someone to look like Brad, they would only spend 25% of their time on lifting and the rest on cardio. Daniel's workout was most likely a 50/50 split between cardio and lifting.
How Would 007 Eat to Have Great Muscle Tone
James Bond is packing a bit more muscle than Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt's Character)did in Fight Club. When Daniel Craig was interviewed about his diet before Casino Royale, he said he was on a high protein diet. Brad Pitt was on the Zone Diet, before Fight Club. The Zone Diet recommends that 30% of daily caloric intake comes from protein. For the James Bond workout, I would bump that number up to 50% and cut back on carbs and fat a bit.
James Bond Should Eat More Calories Than Tyler Durden
Make no mistake about it, Brad Pitt had very low body fat for Fight Club. I am good at estimating body fat percentage and I would say that Brad's percentage in Fight Club was around 4-6%. In Casino Royale, James Bond looks closer to 8% body fat percentage. While both are impressive, Daniel had it a bit easier. In order to get down to the 5% body fat range, you really have to keep calories low. Since James Bond was bigger and more of a realistic body fat percentage, he could allow himself to eat more than Tyler Durden. For the James Bond Workout plan, you could eat 6 meals per day with ample protein and low carbs. Compared to Tyler Durden, James Bond has it good. I guarantee you that Tyler Durden eats much less than James Bond...probably 3 really low calorie meals per day.
Moderate Cardio for the James Bond Workout
I'm a big believer in High Intensity Interval Training. I believe that to get down to a really low body fat percentage like Brad Pitt did in Fight Club, one would need to perform this type of cardio for sure. To get down to 8%, High Intensity Interval Training is probably the quickest and most effective route, but not mandatory. When I heard Daniel Craig getting interviewed, he described the more traditional moderate level of cardio for 30-45 minutes. So in reality, the James Bond Workout was focused on more traditional cardio...even though he probably would have get better results with Interval Training.
