Jessica Biel Workout


Workout Regimine:
  • 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. Comment: this type of training is extremely effective HIIT. For more detailed information, look here.
  • 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.

Diet Plan:
  • One type of food that Walsh choose to highly emphasize were so called “clean foods.” Basically, Biel eats a mostly natural diet for best health. “She eats complex carbs at the beginning of the day,” he says, “and tapers off by the end.”
  • Breakfast: 1 cup of oatmeal with handful of berries.
  • Snack: 1 slice whole wheat toast, 1-1 ½ tbsp. of almond butter and sliced bananas on top.
  • Lunch: Salad with 5-6 oz of chicken, vinaigrette dressing.
  • Snack: A banana, apple or strawberries.
  • Dinner: 6oz. of fish, plate full of veggies, 1/2 cup of basmati rice.
