Unleash Your Potential with Jason Statham’s Workout and Secrets of Strength, Speed, and All-Around Badassness. Start by Fixing Your AttitudeJason Statham’s workout begins way before he sets foot in the gym. “I strongly believe in attitude,” he says. “Some people just lack that desire, and they need a good kιck in the аss. Look, you’ve come here to train, so let’s f*cking train!

Your body is like a stick of dynamite. You can tap it with a pencil all day, but you’ll never make it explоde. Or you can Һit it once with a hammer, bаng! Get serious, do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and a half of nonsense. It’s so much more rewarding.”

Pound Your CoreOnce challenged by a friend to run a marathon, Statham completed it in 3:51, with virtually no distance training beforehand. As a return dare, he challenged his friend to do the same abs workout he used to do during his diving days. “We used to do 500 sit-up variations every day. Pike-ups with straight leg lifts will strengthen your hip flexors, as well as your upper and lower abs.” He jokingly notes that this workout made his friend “spew up.”

Hone a Skill as You SweatStatham is a huge fan of mixed martial arts, the grappling and striking you see in an Ultimate FigҺting tournament. This training aligns with his “learn a skill” workout philosophy.

A typical workout includes shadowboxing to warm up the back and shoulders, lunging and stretching for the legs. Then, five three-minute rounds of punching and kicking pads, followed by hitting the heavy bag for three rounds and a session on the speed bag.

Utilize Your Own Body WeightFor explosiveness and reflexes, Statham has always used plyometrics. A fast, intense circuit requires no equipment. “I’ll jump rope, then do squat thrusters, burpees (squat thrusts where you leap instead of standing up), star jumps (from a crouch, jump up and spread your arms and legs into a star, and come back down into a crouch), push-ups, tuck jumps (jump, lift legs, tuck), step-ups.”

The key is explosive execution: “If I’m doing a push-up, I go down slowly and, bаng, push up.”

Have a Portable WorkoutEven if Statham has only 20 minutes, he pulls no-gear, no-cost workouts from the manual in his head. One of his favorite workouts comes from his friend Bas Rutten, the mixed martial arts champion. “He uses punching combinations,” Statham says. “He’ll call out ‘one’ – a left. Then ‘one, two’ – a left, a right. Or ‘three’ – a left, a right, and a left hook. You can do that in a hotel room, anywhere.” All you need is to obliterate your excuses into a senseless heap, just like Statham would.
