Workout Routines for the

Hollywood and Fitness Model Look

By Jason Parris

Hollywood stars have to work hard to get in the great shape they are in and that makes them famous. But getting in great shape is easy if you have the right workout plan.

Bodybuilders have been known their muscular builds for a long time, but now things are a bit different. If provided a choice between a fitness model look and a bodybuilder muscularity, a larger number of people will choose the physique of the fitness look. A great example is Brad Pitt Workout routine that has helped him become one of the sexiest guys in Hollywood. Fitness models have a rather lean, defined and muscular physique, with just the right amount of muscle mass and a very low body fat percentage. Another key feature is a body with well defined six pack abs. This results in a physique that is well balanced and symmetrical. the overall look of a fitness model is far more pleasing to the eye or rather we should say much hotter than a puffed up body builder.

All the fitness programs basically focus on two main elements. The first one is the diet and the second one is the exercise. For the development of a fitness model both of the elements are of great importance. A balanced diet with just the right amount of exercise can do miracles and result in a transformation that is appealing as well as astonishing.

First we should talk about the diet of what it takes to get the Hollywood look. As it is usually said "you are what you eat" fitness models are very serious when it come to their diet. The basic aim of a their diet is to keep the carb intake to a minimum. The ideal diet of a fitness model has a higher percentage of protein and a low percentage of carbohydrates and fats. Fitness models normally prefer eating 5-7 small meals a day. This technique is helpful in increasing the metabolic rate of the body resulting in a quicker weight loss. It should always be remembered that eating smart is a key to fitness.

Now let's move to the typical exercise routine. The main emphasis is on reducing the body fat percentage, ideally the body fat percentage will be under 10%. Low fat levels allow for nice definition and a serious six pack. HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is ideal for fitness models as it helps them to burn more fat in less time. High intensity training also helps preserve muscle, unlike long slow cardio that is catabolic. With respect to weight training full body work outs are also very important as they help to increase muscle mass. Full body work outs should be done 3-4 times per week. It is preferable to leave 48-72 hours between the work outs. This helps the body to fully recover from the previous work out. More important, this time allows your body time to repair, grow and build more muscle.

Exercises
Cardio:

Cardio is most popular among fitness models. There are many types of cardio trainings. HIIT(High Intensity interval training) is considered the best cardio training for weight loss as it is more effective for burning fat as compared to long slow cardio. It also consumes less time. You can get a fat burning workout done in 15-20mins. The results of HIIT are the most impressive among all the cardio trainings.
