Well lucky for you, the perfectly toned “Game of Thrones” actress is sharing all her secrets.
James Duigan, Clark’s personal trainer, keeps her on the “Clean and Lean” method that he developed himself. And best of all…it’s something we can ALL do. Ditching diets, having realistic goals, and incorporating weights into your daily routine are all some small changes you can do to get that dream bod!
Here are some of the helpful hints he recommends:
- Pack Like a Pro – Since lots of people have very busy schedules you need to find time to fit your training into your schedule, even if you’re traveling. Duigan suggests bringing resistance bands with you, calling them “the perfect travel partner and the best way to stay in shape whilst traveling.”
- Ditch the Diets – Duigan says balance is the only thing that really works when it comes to a “diet.” He says you shouldn’t count calories and weigh food, and you definitely shouldn’t “beat yourself up” about what you eat, and never deny yourself anything you truly want.
- Get Realistic – Set realistic goals for yourself and be clear about what you want to achieve. If you set goals you can never achieve it will “only lead to stress and worry.”
- The Cool Down Counts – Don’t forget to let your body cool down after a workout, because it will reduce muscle soreness, and allow the blood to circulate throughout your body, which is important in the growth and repair of muscles.
- Just Move It – Duigan says “movement is medicine,” and suggests finding “fun” ways to work out, like interval training, or yoga or Pilates.
- Mix Bodyweight with Weights – Folks should introduce light weights to build strength, or even resistance bands which don’t place extreme pressure on muscles.
- Be Kind To Yourself – Listen to your body in order to give it what it needs, whether it’s movement, nutrition or even sleep. As Duigan points out, “The perfect body is one that you feel happy and healthy in.”
Now does this mean you will also get dragons if you do all these steps? Probably not, but at least you’ll no longer be envious of Emilia’s hot bod! Tell us your routines and if these work for you @theMRLshow!
