Discussing Angelina Jolie’s diet and workout:
How did Angelina carve that awesome figure for the movie Tomb Raider?
Easy! She lost fat and gained lean muscle mass.
Of all the celebrity routines I have reviewed, I find hers the best (probably with me being a kung fu student).
Angelina Jolie started practicing kickboxing and weapons training months before the filming of the Tomb Raider movie.
How does kickboxing help burning fat?
People often overlook the vitality the intensity of their cardio can bring forth in their efforts to burn fat.
Kicking on the heavy bag repeatedly needs particularly: Breathing endurance, optimization of hips, thighs, calves at a high speed with constant repetitions.
An hour of kickboxing workout can burn as much as 600-800 calories.
And that is not just it, when you apply impact on the bag or even if you practice with the ankle weights, your muscles follow an entirely different range of motion than running or cycling, this range of motion doesn’t only burn calories but also does a fair bit of muscle conditioning resulting into the subtle sexy tone on Angelina’s body.
Can you do it?
Well, kickboxing is difficult for beginners but if you stick to it no matter what, hell yeah!
In my personal opinion, I would rather see you start off with something like slow sprinting and circuit training if you are obese or overweight with really slow stamina.
Weapon Training and Scuba Diving:
Weapons, if used correctly apply the use of the entire body to generate movements, it takes time but eventually you learn to balance with the weight of the weapon (most weapons are atleast 4-7 KGs) and move in different motions leading to a mild workout for the inner muscles too.
This workout when combined with a high protein diet leads to a pretty good reinforcement of lean muscle mass as well as sheds notable amount of fat.
Scuba diving or any water sport for that matter needs you to move your body in volumes of water which gives you an amazing cardio because the muscles are used pretty extensively while again leading to some tone.
If you notice, all of Angelina’s workouts have something to do with reinforcing tone while also burning fat.
Diet:
She followed the traditional model’s diet.
Six meals spaced out properly while being high on protein and low on carbs and low-med on fat.
Can you do her diet?
Yeah, definitely.
My Rating for Angelina Jolie’s workout: 9.5/10.
This is definitely the routine for guys and girls if you want to shed fat but it isn’t the workout if you want to put on bulk.
