How Hugh Jackman got his wolverine body!

Hugh Jackman On His ‘Wolverine’ Workout & Diet

by Access Hollywood ?

It’s not easy being Wolverine, the X-Men’s toughest mutant superhero — just ask Hugh Jackman.

The Aussie actor, who’s played the role in four “X-Men” movies, including his upcoming spin-off, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” said getting into superhero shape is serious business.”I was probably training for a year before we started,” Hugh told Access Hollywood’s Shaun Robinson. “That was the key.”

He revealed that he spent an hour-and-a-half every day in training to get the buff body he showcases in the movie, and getting there took a super-mindset.

“I work out imagining I’m Wolverine,” he said. “Wolverine to me is the guy that when everybody else quits, that’s where he begins. I think that’s why people love him.”

But Hugh said the biggest change was in his diet.

“I think we’ve wiped out entire gene pools of chickens,” he said. “I know to any vegetarians out there, I really apologize. It’s just so much tofu you can eat.”

The product of his work is evident on screen — and at home.

“At first [my wife] was like, ‘Hugh, this is ridiculous, look at you,’” he said.

“‘I don’t know who you are — now get into bed,’” he continued, laughing.

“X-Men Origins: Wolverine” is due in theaters May 1.

Post-Prego Fitness Blog: Deadlifts and Diapers

Posted by Maria Kang on April 29, 2009

So… right now I’m sitting in front of my  laptop with my baby in front of me watching me type. We assume this position every day  around this time :)

I think I’m going to start changing the title of this blog entry to ‘mommy fitness blog’ now as it is 4 months since I’ve given birth and it doesn’t seem quite ‘post-prego’ anymore’! My little man has been growing up so much every day. We’ve had a few funny episodes of him poo-ing on me but that just comes with the fun of being  a mom!

Things have been going well in the fitness department. I’ve been training 5-6 times a week sometimes twice a day on certain days (mostly tues and thurs when I also have my mommy fitness club in the morning) I’m starting to do more weights and focus on intensity versus just getting into the gym and calling it a success because I ‘arrived.’ The other night I performed 3 different types of deadlifts while waiting for David to get out of the pool. That was an unexpected great workout! I was so sore it was hard to sleep at night because my legs were tense.

Last night I also pre-cooked all my meals for the rest of the week. I am a BIG believer when it comes to planning. Being prepared is already half the success.

I’m excited to also start training tonight with a new training partner. She’s also my kickboxing instructor! She had a baby a year ago so she and I will both be on the mission to lose some weight. I get bored more easily when I train and don’t like training alone at night because it’s so crowded and I don’t like being around so many people….but with her, it should be a lot more stimulating and motivating!

My goals this week are:

1) Eat my last meal around 7.

2) Drink more water

3) Train every day but Sunday

4) Focus on intensity


Playing with my son after my Saturday kickboxing class.
this is a great ab workout!
