How actress Gal Gadot prepared for filming
After the release of the picture, many, seeing the 30-year-old actress on the screen, asked the question: how did she manage to combine such beauty and strength? Here are some of the ways Gal Gadot got herself into such amazing shape.
She spent two years in the Israeli army
The fact is that Gal is a real, not just a “cinematic” warrior. At one time, Gadot served two years in the Israeli army. Moreover, she achieved such success there in friendship with weapons that she herself became an instructor in this discipline. Unbeknownst to her then, this experience would prepare her for the role of a superhero. The actress said that preparing for the role reminded her of just this time of army everyday life. And to the question “What was harder?” she admitted that the filming process was much more difficult than the service.
During the preparation for filming, the actress gained 17 kilograms of muscle mass! Of course, for this she had to train actively. To achieve such a superhuman feat, Gal studied for 6 hours every day for the six months preceding filming. “I had 2 hours of gym, 2 hours of choreography and 2 hours of horse riding,” the actress recalls. – When they used to say to me: “Yes, I go in for sports, I ride horses,” I did not consider it a sport. I used to think that equestrian sport is not a sport at all, you just sit on a horse, and it rides. No, there is a lot to learn. Now I can jump very fast. It was a difficult and interesting journey. “
The actress really fell in love with horses.
But if you want the sexy hands of the superhero on screen, you don’t need to have some fancy gear or horse. It is enough to do push-ups every day and stand in the plank for 30 seconds every day.
She remained active even on her own time.
Even when Gadot didn’t need to work out on schedule, fitness was still a part of her life. “In my day-to-day life,” says the actress, “when I’m not working, I like to paddle boat and do functional training with TRX loops, because my whole body works with them. But I don’t really like the latter, despite the fact that I do it diligently, I like strength training more. “
And when the shooting has already ended, Gal Gadot remains in great shape.
She adhered to a healthy diet
One of the main keys to Gal Gadot’s success is drinking plenty of water. In addition, the actress chooses nutritious and quality foods: “I love trying new flavors. I am a real gourmet in food. But at the same time I always eat only what will make my body more perfect. “
As for the food, it also had to be slightly adjusted. The actress adheres to the correct diet, but mostly vegetarian. And, as you know, in order to gain muscle mass, it is necessary to include a lot of protein foods in the diet. So, experts have developed a nutritional program with an increased amount of protein for the actress. Therefore, the main Gal menu consisted of eggs, chicken fillets and red fish. And between meals, she ate nuts and drank protein shakes.
The Instagram page also serves as proof of her love for healthy eating.
But I didn’t limit myself too much
The actress is sure that food is the main quality and sense of proportion.
And although Gal leans more towards proper nutrition, she understands that a lot depends on balance and how you eat. “I do not limit myself, I can eat everything. But at the same time, much depends on the quantity and quality of the food eaten, – the actress shares. – Be here and now when you eat. Do not talk on the phone while doing this. Just respect this process and enjoy it. “
