Jennifer Lawrence is, no doubt, one of the most successful and highly talented actresses of the recent times. She also gains a lot of attention due to the fact that she is gorgeous and carries herself well. If you are her fan, then you must already know that her looks are not only god-given but they are the result of her hard work too. Here are a few things she does to look stunning that are shared by her former trainer Dalton Wong. These are simple measures that can be taken by anyone who is eager to become fit.

The Meeting

Dalton met Jen when she was only 20 years old. She posed a challenge for him as he needed to make her look amazing while ensuring that she had the liberty to keep doing things a 20-year-old does. He taught her to exercise and eat well while allowing her to have candy bars and Friday night outs. They were working together to train her for the role as Mystique in X Men: First Class (2011). In those days, the actress needed to workout from 10 to 12 hours per day for about three months.

When they were filming in Oxford, their days started with exercises. They jogged for 20 to 30 minutes at the start of the day to wake up and get close to nature. The jogging was not necessary, they just walked at times too. This morning exercise helped the diva to stay still for hours at once, even when she was getting the body painting job done to play the role of Mystique.

The Gratitude

Lawrence feels a lot of gratitude towards Wong for giving her the right start towards exercise. She thinks he not only helped her to change her body for the role but he also gifted her some skills that helped her to eat, move and live her life. He helped her to stay away from the ordeal of living on a diet and helped her live a delicious and yet healthy life. Jennifer added that she was ever thankful for that. She told this via Wong’s new book The Feelgood Plan: Happier, Healthier & Slimmer in 15 Minutes a Day.

Shorter Workouts

Apart from the morning jogging or walking, they also did other exercises throughout the day. Wong asked the stunner to do short bursts of high-intensity interval training circuits that focused on stretching and core exercises. These exercises can be easily done by anyone who has limited time as they can be done within 15 minutes time. If you can take the time to do these 15 minute exercises four times in a day, you will have an hour of exercising. The exercises that are done in these few minutes are explained in the book and are named as “power circuits.”  All these exercises were done by the blue eyed beauty.

Using Yoga

After the power circuits, they used to do breathing exercises (ujjayi) and yoga as reported by ELLE. They helped the gorgeous actress to relieve the body from stress and hence allowed her to sleep better. It also helped her body to get ready for the next day’s exercises. If you want to try these breathing exercises, you can start by inhaling through the nose and filling various parts of your body such as lower belly, chest, lower rib cage and even throat. Then you need to exhale through the nose only by counting till three. You can repeat this exercise with a steady rhythm. Apart from de-stressing you at the end of the day, these breathing exercises can also help as an excellent warm up.

No Equipment Exercises

The renowned trainer has also devised some exercises that need no equipment at all. These exercises are different types of squats, planks, lunges, and push-ups that require no dumbbell or gym equipment. These exercises can be done easily at any place so people who find excuses to not workout such as they have no latest equipment would have little to no excuse left.
