WE LOOK AT FLORENCE PUGH'S FITNESS PROGRAM

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today we look at the diet and exercise program for
Florence Pugh pu Gh. She has become a standout actress
with versatile performances in films like Midsummer Little Women, Black Widow,
and Dune. And make sure one of Hollywood's most reliable
young talents is twenty five year old or twenty nine

(00:21):
year old. My apologies. Has an incredible routine and for
five foot four, one hundred and ten pounds, she does
a pretty intensive workout, and we'll be looking at that
workout today. In addition to that, I think it's interesting
to know she does have p COOS unfortunately for her
home mortal disorder, which makes it more difficult to get pregnant.

(00:42):
The reason we say that so you understand that she
does have a medical condition that she can still do
a lot of this training in because you might have
one as well. But also check with your doctor. Always
check with your doctor to make sure to clear yourself
for a workout. So let's take a look at Florence's
workout and see what we can do discover here. She
follows a balanced diet. She focuses on lean proteins, complex carbs,

(01:07):
and vegetables. For black widow. She did increase her protein
and take to build muscle, including a lot of protein
shakes and eggs. She enjoys cooking, often sharing recipes like
vegetable heavy pasta dishes on social media. You'll see her there.
The habits that she has. She avoids restrictive diets, which
I advise too. This is something you don't want to
get into because usually what ends up happening is you

(01:30):
bounce back and start eating a lot right your rebound.
So she embraces treats like pizza or desserts, but it
always in moderation. If you keep a good calorie count,
you should be just fine having those treats you you
can accommodate throughout the rest of the day. By the way,
a really good protein bar, if you like protein bars,
is David's protein Bar. David I get nothing from that.

(01:50):
There's no promotional I get no compensation for announcing it.
I just like the bars, the very low calories and
high protein. So if you know you're gonna have pizza tonight,
one bar I think is like one hundred and fifty
calories and twenty eight grams of protein, you can really
reduce your calorie intake for the day, and so when
you have that pizza that can really won't make it

(02:12):
won't make much of a difference. In addition to that,
obviously you can increase your steps too. She does avoid rest.
She also stays hydrated prioritizes nutrient dense foods to maintain
energy during long shoots. Her approach is practical avoid extreme trends.
For instance, for breakfast, she might have alvacado toasts with eggs,
Lunch could be a grilled chicken salad with quinoa, and

(02:35):
dinner might feature salmon with roasted vegetables. With occasional indulgences
like homemade brownies one of my favorite, and hey, if
you want, you can always scoop in an extra half
a scoop of chocolate protein into those brownies and you'll
increase the protein intake. Again, getting that protein intake will
help a lot. Remember protein, your body needs to use

(02:57):
more calories to actually digest protein compared to carbs and fats,
So increase in your protein and take a little bit
increases you're metabolic rating that capacity. Her workouts are often
guided by personal trainers. She blends strength, strength training, functional fitness,
and cardio. She trains about four to five days a week,
forty five and sixty minutes per session, with a mix

(03:18):
of strength and cardio. It depends a lot on the
filming schedules. She does weightlifting, squats and deadalists, or overall
body and body weight exercises like pushups and planks, which
are all great to build muscle and to keep strong.
She focuses then keep the heart right up too. She
focused on combat training, including boxing and stunt choreography. Now,

(03:39):
boxing will help develop a lot your shoulders and your back. No,
they won't create these huge shoulders, but they do help
to define them quite a bit because you're burning a
lot of calories and the repetitive motion is similar. It's
just basically lifting weight right in the sense you're using
motion all the time. So, if we go into detail

(03:59):
why boxing makes your shoulders more defined, this is one
of the reasons. Throwing punches like jabs, cross and hooks
requires rapid contraction of the deltoids, particularly the anterior lateral
heads to extend and rotate the arm. This builds muscle,
endurance and size over time. Core and shoulder energy boxing
involves transferring power from your core, your hips, and your
abs and lower body through your shoulders to your fists.

(04:21):
This constant engagement strengthens the rotator cup of muscles as well.
And of course boxing involves hundreds of punches percession which
act like higher wrapped resistance training, and all you need
is resistance for the shoulders to promote hyperrotro fee and
muscle tone to make them look better. Defensive movements slipping
and bobbing engaged the posterior deltoids and upper back muscles,

(04:42):
and conditioning exercises that we recommend too, like medicine, ball throws,
push ups, jump rope all will help that. Regular boxing
also burns fat and reduces subcontaneous fat around the shoulders,
making the muscles appear more chisel. So she also incorporates
HIT HIITT high intensity interval training, which is an excellent program, sprints, burpies,

(05:04):
all kinds of different activities. There's plenty of videos on
YouTube for HIT training incredible results with just fifteen minutes
three times, two to three times a week is all
you really need. And running she also does that to
boost stamina. She also enjoys dance based workouts for fun
and flexibility, so you can see she keeps high activity
levels recoveries, practices, yoga for mobility, and stretching, emphasizing rest

(05:26):
days and burnout. A session again might include fifteen minutes
of hit jump squads, mountain climbers. There's all different variations.
There's a lot of great videos on YouTube with great
music to get you motivated. Thirty minutes of strength training
and ten minutes of stretching or yoga poses. So she
con does pretty much the whole gamut. She focuses on nutrition,
strength training, flexibility, endurance, everything is there. She really is

(05:50):
training like an athlete. But hey, she gets paid a
lot of money for these roles and I'm sure it
helps quite a bit for her acting career in her
personal health as well. So if you follow her plan,
as long as you're not being restrictive, which I think
is a smart move on her part, you'll be doing fine.
