Today, we chat with James about the latest Marvel superhero – Shang-Chi and the workout the actor Simu Liu apparently followed to get that superhero body. We chat about the problem with the media portrayal of these workouts as “all you need to do” which is of course not true at all.
These actors have teams of people working with them, focusing on their diet and lifestyle in conjunction with these workout sessions PLUS – this is what they do for a living – they do not have a job or much else to worry about. So don’t put these unrealistic expectations on your body.
Discussion points:
- Introduction to working out like a superhero
- The Workout
- The problem with the workout
- The workout the Fit over Thirty way
- James’ 5 steps to look like Shang Chi
