Gym in a Bag
Celebrity Trainer David Kirsch gives us some tips he used to train Anne Hathaway for Get Smart and Liv Tyler for The Hulk. “With Anne, I focused on shadowboxing to keep her long and lean—sparring, crossover punches and jumping jacks, with medicine ball crunches to work her core. Liv has amazingly long, gorgeous legs. So we focused on her upper body and torso: sprinting on the treadmill, seated rows, pullovers, flies and tricep extensions.”
David gave both ladies his gym bag which includes;
- One set of wrist weights (2.5 lbs or 5 lbs),
- One medicine ball (2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 lbs)
