MSN fitness has the workout/diet that British actor Jason Statham uses to stay super lean and strong. Some of this is doable by the average guy or girl, but some of these exercises need a lot of special set-up that you aren’t going to be able to get your local gym owner to sign on for. So check it out and incorporate what you can. The big thing to remember is that there are a few basic, very important principles behind what he does-

1)  He keeps his workouts varied so that his body does not adapt.

2) He uses short, high intensity workouts which keep you from getting bored and maximizes the load on your muscles.

3) His diet is squeaky clean. 2000 calories a day with no processed sugar.

This is a great way to lose weight and get ripped up, but it also works for the average person who just wants to lose weight and get in better shape. Like I said, take what you can use and incorporate it into your training/diet routine and you will see a big improvement if you stick to the important principles.

…

Now Statham brushes aside the ugly photos on the coffee table in his living room and gives me a dose of his current reality: He lifts up his shirt. He’s shredded — rumble-strip abs, cords in his chest, veins in his arms.

“That’s 17 pounds in 6 weeks, mate,” he says, and then plops down on his sofa again. “And that’s working out 6 days a week for, at most, about 35 minutes a day. I’ve never, ever gotten results like this before.”

That’s a bold statement from a man who used to be on the British Olympic diving team and lists mixed martial arts (that’s UFC-style fighting) as a hobby. In fact, he sounds like an infomercial. So what’s the secret?

Prepare to sweat. And hurt. And, well, eat. But only enough to stoke your fire, not smother it.
