An Outline Of Jessica Biel's Workout
Rusty Moore
Jessica Biel has become the new fitness role model for women. Seriously, is there any woman with a better body in Hollywood? Luckily for us her trainer, Jason Walsh, recently revealed her workout. Now we can see her approach to getting that rocking body!
Jessica has always been attractive, but she stepped it up for her role in the movie Blade 3. If there ever was a fitness role model for women, it was Jessica Biel in that movie! If you haven't seen this movie, go out and rent it. Ryan Reynolds sets in amazing shape for this movie as well. The great thing about Jessica is how she manages to look fit, yet extremely feminine. It is important to find a good balance.
Here is a Jessica Biel's Workout from People Magazine, Along With My Comments
1) Cardio...She does Interval Training. Here is a quick summary. She jogs for a 1/2 mile warm up and then does 6 sprints with short rests in between. She does 2 sets of 200 meter sprints, 2 sets of 150 meter sprints, and 2 sets of 100 meter sprints.
My Comments: You can't go wrong with high intensity interval training. This form of cardio has been proven to be much more effective a burning body fat than "steady state aerobics". This is exactly the type of cardio I recommend.
2) Plyometrics..."These hurt," says Walsh of stair jumping. "Even athletes hate them. After Jessica did these the first time, she would've punched me if she had the energy." How-to: Jump from the bottom step of a flight of at least 20 stairs to the third. Keep going, skipping a stair each jump.
My Comments: I am a big believer that athletes have more attractive physiques than bodies only built in the gym. Plyometrics are basically an athletic way to build the body. It makes sense that her trainer would recommend them.
3) Weight Training..."We tend to use lighter weights and do more reps," he says. "We keep moving, so it becomes a cardio workout too."
My Comments: This is what Craig Ballantyne, who wrote an excellent book called Turbulence Training, recommends. You can basically burn fat like crazy if you do your weight training in a very specific manner.
4) For the Abs..."Hanging leg raises don't build a six-pack, but they flatten," says Walsh. "Jessica hates them, but she powers through!" They also do the Russian Twist. Sit down and lean back slightly. Hold a 5-lb. medicine ball and twist from side to side, 15 twists per side, three reps.
My Comments: I don't recommend hanging leg raises, because I believe it shortens the hip flexors too much and pulls the pelvis out of alignment. I am a big believer in an exercise called planks. They will do wonders for the abs.
So in Summary...It really looks like Jessica Biel's Workout focuses on Interval Training both in her approach to cardio as well as her weight training.
