Jason Statham is perhaps the most popular British action star today. People love him for his style of mixing extreme action with a touch of humor. There is almost no melodrama in his movies just non-stop action complimented with sly humor.
Jason Statham’s first gained notice in the movie Snatch with Brad Pitt. He gave an amazing performance in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. But people never realized how ripped and in shape he was until the Transporter movies, after which people have been curious about the workout regimen he used to get his body in such an astounding shape.
It has come to be known that Mr. Statham does out intense workouts in short bursts. His workout schedule involves exercising for 6 days a week for about 30-40 minutes a day. But the duration increases when he prepares for a role in a movie. To get a body like Jason Statham, one has to push their body to the limit and also be ready mentally for the exhaustive workout regime. Training is similar to that of a Navy Seal and so one should be prepared to feel to get the desired results.
Jason Statham’s Workout Routine
Jason begins his workout with a simple and easy ten minute warm-up which includes riding a bike, jogging, rowing, stretching, etc.
After this he switches to ten minutes of moderate-intensity training where he performs a combination of exercises which he never repeats again.
When he performs this part of the workout, he switches the order of the workouts. Mentioned below are his moderate-intensity workouts:
Combination of light weight, high rep exercises
Combination of heavy weight, low rep exercises with compound movements like Bench Press, Squats, and Dead-Lifts
Different medicine ball throwing exercises like aggressively lifting the ball and throwing it on the ground.
Different kinds of kettle bell exercises like swinging the arms with the kettle bells, lifting them over the head, etc.
Finally he enters the third and most intense part the workout, high-intensity interval training. He performs six exercises that workout the whole body and repeating them five times. Just like before he always switches the exercises so as to keep things new and different. But what is so grueling is the fact that he only rest for about 10 seconds between each exercise to keep his blood flowing and the heart pumping.
Some of his high-intensity interval training exercises are mentioned below:
Pull-ups and Pushups
Rope Climbs
Bear Crawl
Farmer Walk
Front Squats
Weighted Step-Ups
Hanging Knee Raises
One has figure out his own training routine as long as the combination of them works out the whole body. However this part of the exercise routine left Jason gasping for air and completely fatigued, which is what anybody who is trying to attempt this workout should expect. But one thing is sure that the results are visible very soon.
Jason Statham’s Diet
Jason Statham follows a very healthy diet which compliments his workouts. He eats six small meals a day which totals to around 2000 calories along with plenty of water. His diet mainly includes healthy vegetables, lean meats such as chicken and turkey, fish, egg-whites, nuts, fresh fruit, yogurt, and a couple of protein shakes.
Things that he excludes from his diet are bread, pasta, refined sugar or flour. He also strictly abstains from alcohol.
That concludes the ultimate Jason Statham workout and diet. But it should be clearly understood that this workout is not at all for beginners. This is an intense workout that completely exhausting.
