Scarlet Johansson’s Secrets of Looking Fit for the Cameras

Although a lot of people think that it is easy for the celebrities to stay fit and camera ready, you should know that this takes a lot of work. They are people just like us, and this means that they also have to give up that piece of cake that they would like to have. So how does Scarlett Johansson do it?

Diet

In some cases the diet of people has a word to say regarding their looks, and this might be the first thing that we should change, just as Scarlett did when she was preparing for her role in the movie Iron Man 2. During that period she cut out from her diet fried foods and salt.

Strength training

She is known to be a fan of the kettlebell workouts. She does her workout routine at least 3 times a week. During the workouts she performs exercises such as pull ups to build muscle mass and also to get rid of the excess fat.

Running and jogging

There have been some rumors according to which she had a drastic diet in order to lose 14 pounds for a role, and as a response she stated that she had never spent too much time in a gym, but for that role she did a lot of cardio, including running and jogging.

This is great for the muscles and also teaches people to breathe correctly.

She has been spotted running some time ago, and people were surprised to see that she has a thing for minimalist shoes. She has been wearing Vibram FiveFingers. The good thing about these shoes is that they absorb shocks, and so there will be less pressure on the heels, Achilles tendon and the calf muscles.

Boxing

When she was getting in shape for that famous role in Iron Man 2, her personal trainer had been working her for 90 minutes, every day. Her routine included boxing movements, and besides that she also had kettlebell exercises along with strength training exercises including lunges, squats and push ups.

Gym?

We might have heard Scarlett state many times that she doesn’t really go to the gym, but lately things seem to have changed, and she is going in and out of the gym. Naturally in the majority of the cases this happens only before the major roles when she really needs to get in shape quite fast.
