14 DAY TRIAL // Jessica Biel is in amazing shape, there is no room for doubt as far as this is concerned. However, what’s more important, the actress also got this fit in a healthy way, by working out regularly and sticking to a balanced diet, as she repeatedly said in the past. Now, her personal trainer, Jason Walsh, is speaking with People magazine about the specifics of Biel’s workout and diet, so that other women can also get the kind of toned body she has, if interested.
Fans must know that Jessica is a big fan of working out in a fun way, which is why she’s almost constantly seen hiking and jogging, either alone or with her dogs. Yet, this is not all that the actress does to stay fit, since she does break a sweat when she’s working out with Walsh, per his own words.
So, her daily routine involves anything from lunges to cardio and weight training, which, as her trainer explains, are meant to make her body toned without leading to bulging muscles.
To start things off, Jessica Biel does walking lunges, which “stretch the larger leg and glute muscles,” as Walsh explains for the aforementioned magazine. She then hits the track for a run: half a mile at first, then two 200-meter, 150-meter and 100-meter sprints. For the core, Jessica moves to hanging leg raises, which “don’t build a six-pack, but they flatten,” as her trainer explains. “Jessica hates them, but she powers through!” Walsh adds.
Biel also does plyometrics, which she also hates, but knows they are essential to keeping her body toned and strong. She also weight trains, with Walsh encouraging her to use lighter weights and to do more repetitions. “We keep moving, so it becomes a cardio workout, too.” the trainer adds. For the waist, Jessica does Seated Russian Twists, which involve holding a 5-pound medicine ball and twisting to each side 15 times (three sets). For the shoulders and biceps, Walsh reveals that Jessica uses dumbbells, more specifically the Twisting Dumbbell Press in three sets of 10 to 12 repetitions.
Nevertheless, none of the above would work without a balanced diet. Here, while Jessica is not the kind to overindulge in anything, she knows the importance of not denying herself something that she craves for. Her diet consists mainly of complex carbohydrates: she has whole wheat toast and oatmeal, with almond butter for breakfast, and fish, rice and vegetables for dinner. In between meals, she snacks on fruit, bananas, strawberries and apples. If she feels like having something sweet at the end of the day, her favorite treat is a piece of dark chocolate.
