Daniel Craig workout: Get a body like Daniel Craig

 

For those people living on Mars Daniel Craig is the star of James Bond, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. In was in the first of these films that Daniel Craig and THAT body first shot to real movie stardum. When Craig's character James Bond 007 first steps out of the ocean many a women's heart melted and many guys looked on enviously at a torso that screamed ' I could kill you'.

The Daniel Craig workout

For those people who had seen Daniel Craig in Our Friends in the North and Lara Croft, Tomb Raider the sight of a muscular James Bond wasn't that much of a suprise. Daniel Craig has, in seems, always been in tip top shape. But his physique in Bond took his athletic look to another level. Gone were the showy muscles - the sinewy, thin model like muscles and in were muscles that made Craig seem like an international rugby player of American Football line-backer.

The Daniel Craig resistance workout

To get into shape for Casino Royale Daniel Craig had two months to transform himself into someone who looked like they could kill you with their bare hands. And this is how he did it.

Craig workout out 5 days a week, Monday to Friday for 45 minutes per session. He took the weekend off to rest and recuperate.

During these 45 minute sessions he workout out no-stop using his body weight (press ups, pull ups, back entensions, crunches) and a variety of resistance equipment, including barbells and dumbbells. Never repeating the same workout twice, Daniel Craig's workout looked something like this:

  • Press ups
  • Pull ups
  • Bench press
  • Deadlift
  • Squats
  • Shoulder press
  • Lunges

Performed either supersetting opposing muscles groups (one set chest, one set back, the repeat) or as a circuit) Daniel Craig developed his muscles in a super quick time.

The Daniel Craig fitness workout

For Bond at least Daniel Craig only did cardio work when his body looked a little heavy or he wanted to show his abs more. This meant 10 to 20 minutes or so working at 85% of his age predicted maximum heart rate (APMHR).

The Daniel Craig diet

In Casino Royale, James Bond needed to look mean and hard, yet lean and athletic. To gain such a look Daniel Craig would have eated his fair share of protein and low glycemic index (GI) carbohydrates and some dietary fats. Like many a movie star and Men's Health cover model Craig would have eaten the vast majority of his daily carb intake earlier in the day, to fuel his mind and body for the day rather than late at night when excess stores of sugars will simply turn to fat.

So use the tips and ideas above to create your own version of the Daniel Craig body.
