You’re about to have a direct connection withMinka Kelly,Halle BerryandSofia Vergara: your trainer.
Never let GP go.
What’s your Castaway workout?
(Think: You’re stuck on a deserted island with no equipment.
What do you do?)
“There’s so much you could do with bodyweight alone.
The basics always come up for a reason: sit-ups,planks,push-ups.
They’ll always give you results.
Take your basic rear lunge, and add a leg raise or kick on the way up.
If you could tell women to stop doing one exercise, what would it be, and why?
“I wouldn’t.
(Touche, Gunnar.)
I might make corrections, but anything is better than nothing!
Ok, here’s one: I might say not to do pushups on your knees.
Your client’s wavering during her workout, and needs a psych-up phrase.
Let’s knock it out!”
What’s your favorite tool to use for a workout, and why?
“I really likebattle ropes.
My clients like them because they’re a good way to get aggression out too.
Had a bad day?
Take it out on the ropes!”
“‘A little bit all the time is better than a lot every now and then.’
Wait, I think I said that.”
What’s your exercise kryptonite?
(And, of course, why?)
Anything I hate or that crushes me I add to every workout until I fall in love with it.
I always train my weaknesses and work on my shortcomings – in the gym AND outside the gym.
Most delicious (and healthy) post-workout snack you’ve ever had or made?
When I’m done it has the consistency of a snow cone.
That’s been my go-to post-workout meal for years.”
You’ve trained celebs, pro athletes and regular folks.
What’s the one thing you want every client to do?
“I’ve actually got three prerequisites: 1.
Be prepared to surprise your muscles with subtle tweaks and changes.
Always properly hydrate throughout a session.
(I like Propel as a zero-calorie option that adds flavor).
Bring your A-game to every workout – and verify it’s a capital A.”
- OK, first move that pops to your head for sculpting insane abs, go!
