Deadpool Workout Ryan Reynolds

Cardio Workout

Moderate Cardio: 30-45 mins.

Ryan Reynolds’ trainer would have him do foam rolling at the beginning of every workout. The idea is to prevent muscle soreness by massaging it away. Deadpool filming required some stunts. They weren’t always easy. Ryan Reynolds says about this pic:

Stuck the landing, with my mouth!

Ryan Reynolds Diet For Deadpool

To get in shape for Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds’ diet was close to perfect. His trainer had him eat a gluten-free, organic and non-GMO diet. This meant eating protein untouched by standard GMO’s (fed to animals) like corn and soy.

So, Ryan Reynolds’ diet for Deadpool was about eating quality protein. Luckily, his trainer Instagrammed some of the food he ate. These pics show what Ryan Reynolds was eating: including bison, organic chicken and brown rice.

Here’s a few from Instagram.

The first meal:

• Bison
• Steamed spinach
• Vegetarian chili
• Brown rice

Another meal consisting of:

• organic chicken
• brown rice
• tomatoes
• black beans
• pineapple
• spinach
• onion

Game Day Chili:

• 2.5 lbs of Ground Turkey Chili
• 1 yellow onion
• 4 tbsps of minced garlic
• 1 15oz cans of kidney beans
• 1 red pepper
• 1 green pepper
• 28oz can of crushed tomatoes
• 15oz can of diced tomatoes
• 1 tsp of chili powder
• 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper
• 1 tbsp of salt
• 1 tsp of oregano

Ryan Reynolds’ trainer says:

Combine turkey, garlic and onions over high heat until turkey is browned. In separate bowl combine: kidney beans, red and green peppers, & diced and crushed tomatoes. Once turkey has browned drain liquid and combine with other ingredients. Add spices. In a large pot over low heat simmer all ingredients for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Drain chili, spoon into bowls, and enjoy!

Personal trainer Don Saladino says it’s important to track your workout and diet. He suggests using Cronometer, because you can scan any #SKU from your phone.
