Another important tool to keep in mind? A well-rounded diet.
“Ryan eats a balanced diet of protein, carbs and healthy fats,” the trainer added. “His meals are going to be things like salmon, chicken, turkey. Carbohydrates are gonna be sweet potatoes, rice, quinoa. He’ll consume some green veggies.”
But that’s not to say a little treat every now and then is off the table—even Ryan indulges.
“He’ll consume some protein powder with oatmeal—that’s a little treat,” Don said. “It’s a good protein and carb friendly meal for him.”
Still, Don curated the Deadpool 3 sequence in a way that will allow anyone to get a good workout in—and he has some full-proof tips even for those who don’t fight off the bad guys alongside Hugh Jackman.
“Consistency trumps intensity,” he said. “You don’t have to turn around and do the full workout. If you don’t have time, you can cut everything in half, get it done quicker, but always focus on technique.”
And Deadpool 3 workout or not, Don notes that quality is better than quantity.
“A big misconception is that people come in here and they try and go 110 percent,” he added. “Baby yourself. Go easy—just do the work. It doesn’t matter how much weight you’re adding to the bar or grabbing with dumbbells, Actually learn the technique. If you start becoming consistent with the days you get in, and moving the way that I’m asking you to move, great things are gonna happen.”
Deadpool and Wolverine is now in theaters.
