How to Get a Body Like Jessica Biel

By: Rusty Moore

Jessica Biel has an amazing body. She is a great role model for women who want to get in shape and still look feminine. Her trainer Jason Walsh recently revealed her workout in People magazine...showing how she manages to get such an incredible body.

If you saw the movie Blade 3 you would have noticed that Jessica has a toned, yet feminine look. It is very important for women to make sure that they don't get too bulky or too ripped you still want to look like a woman! I want to highlight some of the great techniques that Jessica uses and why her workout is so effective.

Here is a Jessica Biel's Workout from People Magazine, Along With My Comments

1) Cardio...for her cardio she likes to do Interval Training. Here is how she structures this. First of all, she jogs for a 1/2 mile to warm up. After her warm up, she gets ready to begin the intervals. Her intervals consist of 6 sprints with a short rest of 30-60 seconds in between. She sprints for two sets of 200 meter sprints, two sets of 150 meter sprints, and two sets of 100 meter sprints.

My Comments: This is exactly the type of cardio I recommend. High Intensity Interval Training has been shown to burn up to 6 times as much body fat as steady state cardio.

2) Plyometrics..."These hurt," says Walsh of stair jumping. "Even athletes hate them. After Jessica did these the first time, she would've punched me if she had the energy." How-to: Jump from the bottom step of a flight of at least 20 stairs to the third. Keep going, skipping a stair each jump.

My Comments: I am a big believer that athletes have more attractive physiques than bodies only built in the gym. Plyometrics are basically an athletic way to build the body. It makes sense that her trainer would recommend them.

3) Weight Training"We tend to use lighter weights and do more reps," he says. "We keep moving, so it becomes a cardio workout too."

My Comments: This type of circuit training is outlined extremely well in the book by Craig Ballantyne, Turbulence Training. He isn't a big believer in cardio and has a workout where people get ripped by resistance training alone. Jason Walsh, combines cardio along with this type of "Turbulence Training" workout.

4) For the Abs..."Hanging leg raises don't build a six-pack, but they flatten," says Walsh. "Jessica hates them, but she powers through!" They also do the Russian Twist. Sit down and lean back slightly. Hold a 5-lb. medicine ball and twist from side to side, 15 twists per side, three reps.

My Comments: I don't agree with Jason Walsh here. I'm a big believer in an exercise called "planks". They are more effective for your entire ab region as well as healthier for your lower back.

To Summarize...Jessica Biel's Workout really focuses on intensity not on duration. She does interval types of training for both her weight training as well as her cardio workouts. This is very similar to the way athletes train and it is why she has an exceptionally better body than many other actresses in Hollywood.
