Fitfully Yours

The Fitter side of Me…

Angelina Jolie is a piece of art having one of the most desirable bodies in Hollywood. You need to be really fit to play Lara Croft in Tomb Raider. Ask any video game fanatic and they’ll lay down the facts for you. However, you don’t get a body like that just by playing video games of course.

Her main weight loss system was to lose fat and gain lean muscle. Among her activities:

- Kickboxing (an hour of kickboxing could burn 600-800calories). Because of its high intensity, not only would you burn fat but also tone your body. You are basically killing 3 birds with one stone (burn fat, body toning, self defense).

- Diving. (well, not only diving, but any water sports or even just swimming adds that extra resistance to your movement; hence you burn more. Good thing is it is very low impact)

- Street fighting+ weaponry. Using weapons is a great way to workout and practice your balance. Weapons are usually 4-7Kgs which can in turn work your inner muscles.

- Yoga. (you guys know yoga’s good don’t you?)

- Climbing. You’ll work every limb on your body. However, rock climbing might not be something you have access to/ particularly enjoy doing.

She also does resistance workouts. She is known to do:

- Step up and shoulder presses.

 

 

- Lunges and bicep curls.

 

- Clean, squat and press.

 

- Pull ups.

 

As for Miss Jolie’s diet, she goes with the traditional model’s diet. Six meals a day (properly spaced out; every 3 hours between meals). She goes on a high protein low carbohydrate diet. She also eats some steam vegetables, fruits and drinks lots of water to avoid dehydration from her workouts.

 

 

Fitfully Yours: We like Angelina Jolie’s diet. We think it can work. In modern society, we may not have the time to do all her workout activities but surely we could choose one every day and give it a go. We love her diet… eating every 3 hours once.

Fitfullyours Ratings on Angelina Jolie’s workout and diet plan: 9/10.
