Kate Beckinsale’s 3-2-1 Workout
Kate Beckinsale’s 3-2-1 Workout is used to get her shape for her movie roles, starting with her part as Selene in Underworld. The 3-2-1 workout routine is used by many actors & actresses in Hollywood, who need to get in shape fast.
The “3” stands for the amount of cardio sessions per workout, “2” for weight training circuits, followed by “1” abs routine. The trainer behind the 3-2-1 workout, Ramona Braganza, is known for working with many actors including Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, and Zac Efron. The 3-2-1 workout is fun because of the constant change of pace between weight exercises and cardio.
