How does a real life Marvel Superhero get in the best shape of her life? Thirty four year old Scarlett Johansson used a combination of strength training and intermittent fasting to achieve her killer bod.
Even if you haven’t seen the new Avengers: Endgame, we can all admit that this mega-babe gives us some serious motivation to wake up early for a Lagree class.
“I am stronger and more capable now than I was 10 years ago [before Marvel], which is so awesome to be able to say,” the actress told The Hollywood Reporter.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Scarlett Johansson reveals how she balanced being a mother with getting into the best shape of her life.
In the interview, Johansson detailed how often and how long she worked out to get into superhero shape — 45-minute to hour-long sessions, four to five days per week — with her trainer revealing exactly what types of training was involved, a mix of “plyometric work, Olympic weightlifting and gymnastics work.” He also had her “drop in on classes – hot yoga, fight training or SLT Pilates.” According to Johnson, Johansson “hates traditional cardio” so he had the actress do “sprint work, battle ropes and kettlebells,” instead.
The Lagree Fitness Method uses a unique combination of resistance based training, stretching, endurance and cardio. In turn, this makes it the perfect workout for someone looking for FAST results. In fact the results are so fast, that you can expect to see your body transform within five sessions. Perfect for a busy Superhero.
Experts agree that depending on how hard you’re working, you’ll burn anywhere from 500-900 calories per fifty minute class.
Studio Physique is a Lagree Fitness Studio offering the same 50 minute classes Johansson used to get her “Black Widow Bod”. Whether you want to lose weight, tone your body, build muscles or just relieve stress, Lagree Fitness addresses almost every health goal.
The results will come faster after working out on our low impact Megaformer because you’ll activate more muscle fibers than you would while doing explosive type movements. Explosive type movements typically increase bulk by activating fast-twitch muscle fibers. The Lagree Fitness Method at Studio Physique on the other hand creates long, lean lines and activates those hard to reach slow-twitch muscle fibers.
Nutrition also plays an extremely important role when it comes to sculpting long, lean muscles like those we see in the actress.
