Here is @dkharbour and I discussing with our secret #fitness strategy to his physical transformation in #strangerthings season 4.
We started with levelling up his physical literacy. Through repetition and eventual mastery of a specific set of exercises found in my book ‘The Hollywood Body Plan’. Building David’s body from the ground up, not only corrects any long term postural imbalances that have been accumulated over the years, which allowed David time to reconnect with his body and learn how to control and correct himself during the exercises. These small gains over time have a profound impact on not only David’s body but also on his life outside of the gym. Over the 2 years we integrated into his program Pilates, traditional weight lifting, kettlebell and club bell circuits. We worked out everyday Monday-Friday allowing time off to recover and relax on the weekends.
To recover, we implemented Sauna (thank you @sunlighten.uk) Ice baths and deep tissue massage at least 1-2 per week.
David’s nutritional program was based on intermittent fasting. We started with an eating window of 10 hours and gradually reduced that window to 6 hours. Occasionally we did 4 hours and as we got closer to the day of shooting ‘that scene’ we implemented some 24 hour fasts.
Please be aware that throughout this entire program David was monitored closely and was in safe hands. This body transformation was extreme and for a role and it took the best part of 2 years. I stress this because I’m a professional and it’s my job to manage my clients diligently. Health both physical and mental comes before all else, and I am extremely proud to show you this amazing achievement. If you are on a health journey and looking for a safe place to start, go and grab my book and follow along on my YouTube channel. There are free workouts on there.
And finally thank you to the team at @movementumuk and @bodyspaceofficial for your total support. It takes a village!!
