Jessica Biel's workout and diet

[Honey]

Jessica Biel's trainer, Jason Walsh has recently revealed to People what this starlet has been doing

Jessica Biel’s Workout:

• Stretch: One of her favorite warm-ups is the walking lunge. “This stretches the larger leg and glute muscles,” says Walsh. How-to: With feet together, lunge first with right leg. Bring left foot alongside right. Lunge with left. Do 8-10 per leg.
• Cardio: “It’s the cardio that leans her out,” says Walsh. After a ½-mile jog, they hit the track for two 200-meter, 150-meter and 100-meter sprints.
• Core: “Hanging leg raises don’t build a six-pack, but they flatten,” says Walsh. “Jessica hates them, but she powers through!” How-to: Hanging from a high bar or rings, pull knees up slightly above waist. Do three sets of 15 repetitions.
• 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.
• Weight Training: “We tend to use lighter weights and do more reps,” he says. “We keep moving, so it becomes a cardio workout too.”
• For the waist: They 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.
• For shoulders/biceps: Stand with knees slightly bent. Hold 10-lb. weights in each hand. Curl to chest. Rotate hands, palms face outward. Press overhead together. Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps.

Okay, that diet would be harder than the exercises. How can anyone stay full eating only that stuff?

[travelbug]

Actually, I was thinking this diet is very doable compared to what you usually see in these celeb magazines. Look a few threads down at the Tracy Anderson diet and it's WAY more restrictive.

At least on this diet she has oatmeal and toast for carbs. That's a lot more than the usual celeb diets. Personally I think what is recommended above is the bare minimum of carbs you need if you're working out at all.

I like the idea celebs suffer and get hungry like us mortals, I thought most were on coke to stay slim

[sputnik]

^^^^
i think most of them are but as much as this chick pisses me off, you can tell she comes by her body through exercise and discipline.

[Grimmlok]

the diet doesn't seem out of place.. it's lean, but it has everything you need for a day really.

Oh my, that's not very much food! I have tae kwon do workouts that seem very grueling, like what's described, and I think I would pass out if I had to eat that little. (and believe me, I'm prone to weight hysteria and have tried--only to get dizzy and see stars in the middle of my workout. Never again!)

[sparkly]

For such an extensive workout, that doesn't seem like a lot of food.

[Folieadeux]

The exercise seems pretty straightforward. I wouldn't do the arm workout, because I don't like muscled arms on women, but I'd definitely do the rest.

No dairy - interesting.

[ariesallover]

How is whole wheat bread not a processed food?

[qwerty]

^^depends on the bread. Ezekial bread, for example, is flourless, sprouted wheat bread and as such, is not considered by many to most nutrition experts to be processed.

Oh but they still do that, too! LOL.

The snacking in between meals helps her not feel hungry. This is what I try to do five days a week (5-6 small meals). Once your body is used to eating this way, you tend to get super full fast if you eat a huge meal. Tricks/speeds up your metabolism.

I wonder how much time she spends on cardio. Her body is sick but a way too muscular for me.

This workout + diet sounds like a great way for any woman to lose all the roundness/softness that makes her a woman.

I think I'll pass, eat, & be happy

I think that now scientists are saying that 5 meals a day doesn't increase the metabolism. It's still nice to not go long hours without eating though.

I LOVE her body too. I want muscle definition myself, even though most women don't.
