An Outline of Jessica Biel's Workout

By: Rusty Moore

Jessica Biel probably has the best body in Hollywood. Seriously, she is a great role model for women who want to get in shape. Jason Walsh, her personal trainer recently revealed to People Magazine the workout that gives her slim thighs, firm butt, and generally a rocking body!

Were you lucky enough to see Jessica Biel in the movie Blade 3? If you did, you may have seen fitness perfection. Seriously...Jessica looked amazing in that movie. As a side note, Ryan Reynolds got in amazing shape as well. The great thing about Jessica Biel is that she manages to stay in amazing shape without losing her femininity.

So here is a summary of Jessica Biel's Workout (along with my comments)

1) Cardio...for her cardio she likes to do Interval Training. Here is how she structures this. First of all, she jogs for a 1/2 mile to warm up. After her warm up, she gets ready to begin the intervals. Her intervals consist of 6 sprints with a short rest of 30-60 seconds in between. She sprints for two sets of 200 meter sprints, two sets of 150 meter sprints, and two sets of 100 meter sprints.

My Comments: This is exactly the type of cardio I recommend. High Intensity Interval Training has been shown to burn up to 6 times as much body fat as steady state cardio.

2) Plyometrics..."These hurt," says Walsh of stair jumping. "Even athletes hate them. After Jessica did these the first time, she would've punched me if she had the energy." How-to: Jump from the bottom step of a flight of at least 20 stairs to the third. Keep going, skipping a stair each jump.

My Comments: I am a big believer that athletes have more attractive physiques than bodies only built in the gym. Plyometrics are basically an athletic way to build the body. It makes sense that her trainer would recommend them.

3) Weight Training"We tend to use lighter weights and do more reps," he says. "We keep moving, so it becomes a cardio workout too."

My Comments: This type of circuit training is endorsed in the book, Turbulence Training, by Craig Ballantyne. You can burn a lot of body fat if you perform resistance exercise in a specific manner. Craig doesn't even believe in doing cardio! Jessica Biel does Turbulence Training along with cardio.

4) For the Abs..."Hanging leg raises don't build a six-pack, but they flatten," says Walsh. "Jessica hates them, but she powers through!" They also do the Russian Twist. Sit down and lean back slightly. Hold a 5-lb. medicine ball and twist from side to side, 15 twists per side, three reps.

My Comments: I don't agree with Jason Walsh here. I'm a big believer in an exercise called "planks". They are more effective for your entire ab region as well as healthier for your lower back.

Summary...Jessica Biel's Workout is very similar to a high level athlete. It makes sense that she would have a better looking body than most other actresses in Hollywood...she is training at a higher level. Her approach is intense interval workouts, which have proven time and time again to burn more body fat than "slow and steady" types of workouts. No wonder why she looks so good!
