Therefore, the actress had to follow a strict training schedule. Robbie admits she was never a fan of an athletic build, but she fully committed to her workouts, skillfully combining swimming, Pilates, and strength training.
Balanced Workouts
Most of the exercises Robbie did engaged multiple muscle groups. She combined different techniques, movements, and loads to avoid injuring any muscle group. Maintaining balance in your body is crucial. Now that the challenging journey is behind her, Robbie shares useful tips on how to get in shape quickly.
Setting Goals
As Margot Robbie says, the more intense the workouts, the faster you can achieve noticeable results. However, it’s essential to set your goals correctly and understand how dense your schedule should be. If you need to get in shape quickly, focus on strength training for 45 minutes to an hour, 4-6 days a week. The remaining days are your rest days.
Morning Workouts: Swimming
A 45-minute swim each morning is an excellent start. Swimming tones all your muscles without overworking them, as it’s a type of exercise that brings relaxation. Instead of a cold shower, Robbie suggests heading to the pool and swimming in any style you know. Strength training in the pool increases endurance and is very beneficial for the heart.
“I stand at the edge of the pool, and my trainer tells me what to do. Each time a new style: freestyle, butterfly, breaststroke. I varied the loads, each time trying to increase my speed,” Robbie shares.
Daytime Workouts: Pilates
After filming, Robbie returned home to continue her training, this time focusing on Pilates. Here, the actress highlights exercises for different muscle groups, endurance, stretching, and breathing. Robbie advises mixing mat exercises with more active ones on the ball.
Evening Workouts: Strength Training
After the filming process was over, Margot Robbie continued with strength exercises: jumping rope, squats, hula hoop, dumbbells. All the most active. The main thing that the actress highlights is the need to properly assess your strength, because at the end of the working day there is a risk of overstraining the body and getting unnecessary stress. For those who feel a surge of strength at the end of the day, it is best to do strength exercises for 45 minutes. And then relax in a hot bath, not forgetting about healthy sleep.
The actress also advises dancing, in her case, ballet practices helped achieve success.
