What Do Kim Kardashian and Stephen Cooper Training Have in Common

We both use rope training.

I've been using the rope training with my clients since the end of 2008, so it's nice to see that trainer to the stars Gunnar Peterson is using it with his clients such as Kim Kardashian.

There are a couple of different names for rope training such as Battling Ropes, and Ropes Gone Wild, but whatever you call it, it's a great way to burn fat without the typical pounding that comes with most aerobic exercises.

 

Looking for a workout with the ropes?  Click here to see a clip of a session I did with a client just a few days ago. You'll see the fat-burning session with complete details.

Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace Opens Today

I'm often asked about the workouts and diets of celebrities.  Today Quantum of Solace opens so people are curious about Daniel Craig's training and diet.

I searched the web and found speculative stories about what he ate and how he trained, but I haven't seen a definitive article from his trainer, Simon Waterson.

If I was training Daniel Craig, I'd have him do a CrossFit style workout, like I do with some of my more fit clients.  This type of training produces a lean and efficient look, rather than a bulky and slow body builder look.

Here's my version of a 007 workout:

Set up 5 stations...you'll go for one minute straight at each station with no break between stations...once you've completed all 5 stations, then take a 1 minute rest....your workout is finished when you have competed 3 rounds. (Note, these are the exact exercises that I give my boot camp clients.)

Station 1: Rowing or jump rope

Station 2: L-pull ups (think pull-ups, but with your legs straight and up at waist level...keep em there)

Station 3: 20lb medicine ball toss (10 feet high)

Station 4: Air squats

Station 5: Push ups

For his lean eating program I'd choose a Zone based plan with a Paleo emphasis.

Plenty of sleep, and at least one massage per week.
