Jason Bourne Workout

This is not the Jason Bourne you remember. It has been over a decade and a half since Matt Damon first stepped into the role of the rogue CIA asset, but as impossible as it may seem, he’s only getting stronger with age. The evidence came earlier this year, when a teaser trailer from Universal Pictures showcased Damon’s solidly ripped physique.

“It’s definitely more difficult to play Jason Bourne when you’re 45 years old versus when you’re 29 years old, said Damon during a recent press conference for the upcoming Jason Bourne. “Because you still have to run as hard and you have to be just as fit.

Being a brute onscreen does not come easy though, it takes intense focus, hard work, and a trainer who isn’t afraid to get in the trenches with you, like Jason Walsh . The LA-based fitness expert, along with boxing coach Matt Baiamonte, helped Damon make sure that the physicality of this Bourne did not wane with age. You can see the evidence in the first scene where a shirtless muscle-bound Bourne clocks a guy unconscious.

When we were in the gym Matt gave me everything he had, says Walsh. “The character is supposed to look beat up, so admittedly I overtrained him. I beat the shit out of him. We got to the point where he was doing single leg deadlifts with 125lb dumbbells. Even when travel was involved, the two did not let up on their schedule. “I brought a set of power blocks and a machine I love for sprints called the VersaClimber, which we could set up anywhere.

Like any good trainer, Walsh was there with Damon every step of the way, even during a brutal cardio regime on location. This included mornings jogging up the same hills Lance Armstrong used to train on before the Tour de France. “I made us go on some hellish runs in Tenerife of the Canary Islands, but that was after we had built him up with the lifting.

Here’s the sample of what Walsh put Damon through for the latest Bourne installment:

How Often Should You Work Out Your Abs?

If you really want washboard abs, you've got to put the work in every day. Right? Actually, crushing your ab routine everyday might do more harm than good.  “People have the idea that if they do an hour of ab exercises that that’s going to chisel their abs and burn fat from that area—the old spot-reduction approach,” says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Quincy College in Quincy, MA. But realistically, Westcott says you should train your core no more than three days a week. While by now you know that spot-reduction is a myth, when you overtrain your abs at lower intensities, core work becomes an endurance-type activity rather than a strength- and muscle-building activity, Westcott explains.

Adaptogens

We are a stressed society, and an over-medicated society. We are a processed-foods society, and an over-caffeinated society. Many people are turning this pattern around, realising that all of the coffee and frozen dinners and cereal and prescription fixes are easily abandoned with an entirely natural solution: superherbs. “More than ever, people are [researching] the detrimental effects of taking synthetic pharmaceuticals and consuming processed foods, says holistic health coach Annie Lawless . “People are sick and tired of being sick and tired. The body is not designed to digest, assimilate, and eliminate chemicals, and it simply cannot. When these toxic wastes and their byproducts are stuck in the body, they create disease and imbalance. Taking a pill may mask the symptoms of certain ailments, but it does nothing to treat the ailment itself. The body is still suffering despite the fact that the resulting superficial pain has been quieted, and it is important to dig deeper and tr
