About this deal

You can grumble about the movie stars and the 10 weeks in these books. Or you can focus on the valuable fitness philosophy and goodies that a top trainer like Waterson in sharing with you. You cannot be another person because you haven’t got their genetics, but you might be able to look or feel or perform even better than they can,” he says. “Use them as inspiring stories to be the best version of yourself.” You’re never going to beat bodyweight exercises – do varied push-ups: very wide, then very narrow ones, mountain climber push-ups (pushing alternating knees across the body as you perform each up and down movement), and Spiderman push-ups (lifting alternate knees high to the shoulder as you push yourself up and down – resembling the superhero scaling a wall). That would cover triceps, chest, core and shoulders.”

Simon Waterson's job is to turn actors into athletes. Now you can learn how to transform your fitness and wellbeing with the film industry's most in-demand trainer. The best thing is that he makes it so doable for all of us common folk - cuz I can tell you, I ain't no Hollywood star that has the time and resources to focus all my energy on fitness.

Stansall said: “ The 10-Week Intelligent Fitness Challenge is the perfect follow-up to Simon’s first book, Intelligent Fitness, which laid the groundwork for his unique and highly effective philosophy on health and wellbeing. His dedication to his clients and his meticulous approach to their programmes has resulted in his huge popularity within the film industry, with some of the world’s biggest actors returning to work with him again and again. We’re really excited to share his much-coveted exercises and techniques with everyone looking to improve their health, whatever their fitness level.” Waterson offers up his “Holy Grail of fitness programming” as an approach he uses for nearly all his clients. I pay attention when a guy who has been so successful for so long says, "Here's my #1 thing". His 5-2 method intertwines resistance training and cardio for faster-paced workout that focuses on the whole body. I haven't tried it out yet, but soon! The workout examples in the book are more full body routines. I looked to established trainers to develop more targeted (legs, upper body) workouts like Jeff Cavaliere at AthleanX and then just plugged in the exercises into the 5-2 structure.

The core of Waterson’s approach is to mix short bursts of cardiovascular exercise with resistance training, in a ratio of five strength moves to two minutes of cardio. The method, he says, which is based on his training in the military, is hugely versatile. My For more than 25 years, Simon Waterson has gotten my hubby's favorite Hollywood A-list actors into top physical shape. So, when he saw that this book was coming out, he was beyond excited, and I have to admit, so was I! I mean anyone who helped Chris Evans get into that beautiful shape has to be amazing, right?! But not only him... we're talkin' Benedict Cumberbatch, Daniel Craig, Chris Pratt, Léa Seydoux, John Boyega, Blake Lively, Jake Gyllenhaal, Harrison Ford, John Krasinski... and more! Ironically, I have no interest in training like a movie star or doing some intense 10 week boot camp. So, what’s with the 5 stars, Bill? Read on.Waterson’s clients include actors such as Daniel Craig, who trained with him for his role as James Bond in five films, Hiddleston for Loki, Chris Evans for the role of Captain America, Chris Pratt for “Guardians of the Galaxy”, Thandiwe Newton and John Boyega for the Star Wars films, and Diego Luna for “Andor”.

This ten-week programme is a fantastic example of Simon's thoughtful and effective approach to fitness.' Tom Hiddleston Everyone's always saying, 'I want to look like this.' But I believe what you should be saying is, 'I want to feel like this.' Once you have that self-awareness, the by-product is going to be visual. Fitness isn't about achieving a particular look or image. Fitness is primarily about feelings.Typically, 10 weeks is all Simon has to train his clients for demanding action roles, and for the first time he shares these effective exercises and techniques to help you reach your fitness goals and improve your overall health. Without Simon Waterson’s help and guidance, I literally wouldn’t have made it through fifteen years of playing James Bond … It’s been an honor working with him." — Daniel Craig Without Simon Waterson's help and guidance, I literally wouldn't have made it through fifteen years of playing James Bond ...

Thankfully, Triumph Books came in clutch by kindly gifting us with this awesome training manual in exchange for an honest review! Simon is a no-nonsense trainer – without pretension. He has an incredible wealth of experience. What he says makes sense and his workouts just work.' Rachel Weisz From 3.30 a.m. training sessions in the desert with Jake Gyllenhaal to virtual workouts with Bryce Dallas Howard, Simon reveals the real training programs he used to take these actors to peak physical health. In regards to nutrition, I recommend The Wild Diet by Abel James and Fit Men Cook by Kevin Curry. They have some great perspectives on other fitness aspects like fasting and meals without the blandness of most diets.

It’s possible to make huge advances in your strength and general fitness using nothing more than your own body. Weights have their benefits but do not underestimate the power of simply battling gravity, Waterson says. The book focuses on an “inspiring and easy-to-follow workout programme that encourages you to train like an A-list celeb, giving you access to Simon’s unparalleled knowledge of fitness and health,” the synopsis reads. Having built the strength prior to shooting, the job for Craig was then to strip away some body fat and reveal the muscle beneath. If you want to look lean and uncover your new muscle development, you can follow a similar calorie-deficit approach. In the opening scene of Casino Royale he had to jump over a sandpit, on a roof, through a car, then sprint, climb over a fence and up a crane … so I tried to mimic the scene with an assault course.” Age is no barrier to developing an assassin-worthy body, he says. When Daniel Craig filmed Casino Royal he was in his thirties, and now 55, he still looks good.
