Many celebrities are great examples of the benefits of fitness and healthy living. Their diets and exercise routines may even inspire you to start your own personal wellness regime. If so, get your men’s workout shorts at the ready and get fit!
Celebrities have to look good and so they’re known for looking flawless-we see them parading their perfect bodies on the beach, or looking at us from a magazine cover with perfect, shiny hair and glowing skin. Although they receive help from clever lighting, many of them maintain strict fitness regimes with the help of fitness trainers, and sometimes using powerlife supplements and other similar.
Although we might not have access to their personal trainers, nutritionists, and personal chefs, these 10 celebrities set an example we can all follow. Plus, you don’t need their professionals to recreate their results. Sites like Hardball Warriors and even those who work in the gyms can help you achieve your goals without having to break the bank. Plus, once you get into the swing of things, you’ll be able to pick up new skills and work out effectively by yourself.
So, if you have always wanted to start using machines at the gym but have felt unsure about where to start, why not take some inspiration from the following celebrity workout routines.
Davina McCall
Best-known as a TV presenter, Davina McCall has also made a name for herself in the fitness industry. She has published a number of healthy eating books, Davina’s Smart Carbs and Davina’s 5 Weeks to Sugar Free, released a number of best-selling fitness DVDs and fronts an active-wear clothing campaign for Tesco. The busy mum has revealed she fits in 10-minute workouts during the day to keep herself in shape.
Ellie Goulding
UK singer Ellie Goulding recently became a brand ambassador for Nike thanks to her love of exercise, and she is certainly a walking (or running) advert for the healthy lifestyle she preaches. She swears by intense, but relatively short, workout sessions every day, and compliments her active lifestyle with a vegan diet.
Tom Hardy
Like many actors before him, Tom Hardy has had to go through tough gym sessions to prepare for movie roles. In his breakthrough film, The Warrior, Hardy’s personal trainer had him doing four 20-minute workouts a day with light weights, a technique called ‘Signalling’.
Channing Tatum
Thanks to Tatum’s background in dance, the Hollywood actor manages to stay physically ripped. His favourite form of exercise is CrossFit, which is built upon high-intensity interval training. Tatum, who has a personal nutritionist, is also known to give fitness tips during interviews.
Vicky Pattinson
Queen of the I’m A Celebrity Jungle, Vicky Pattinson lost an impressive 43lbs, culminating in a popular fitness DVD. She has since designed and developed her very own nutritional protein and supplement range, Mini V. and says ‘exercise is very important, but the hardest thing is being able to maintain it and also have a balanced diet’.
Chris Martin
Coldplay’s lead singer’s daily routine includes running and an hour of yoga-in addition to regular boxing sessions in order to build upper-body strength. In addition to being a vegetarian, Chris Martin has also eliminated alcohol and coffee from his diet.
Madonna
Pop icon Madonna has defied her age and still looks as trim and toned as she did decades ago. She takes exercise seriously: gym sessions six times a week, workouts lasting three to four hours a day. Madonna has long been following a macrobiotic diet, based on a Japanese eating style.
