And it turns out she took the job very seriously, training two hours every day for 10 months in the lead-up to filming., Portman's trainer Naomi Pendergast outlined the workout program she designed for the actress, which included four months of conditioning in order to sufficiently develop her fitness before safely loading up her workouts to create the aesthetic arm and abdominal definition that the movie required.
"We worked on building her upper body three times a week, which included arm, back, chest exercises, boxing, skipping and running," Pendergast said."The other two days were dedicated to injury prevention work, which included Pilates-based exercises, stretching, release work and balance exercises." On an average day, Portman's workouts would comprise supersets to build strength in her arms, and then a range of planks and stretches to target her core:Dumbbell reverse fly supersetted with dumbbell seated shoulder press Dumbbell bicep curl supersetted with dumbbell triceps press 2 minute boxing Basic curl focused on pelvic controlThis content is created and maintained by a third party, and imported onto this page to help users provide their email addresses.
