Discover Jason Statham Workout Regime, Fitness Routine and Diet Plan

Last Updated on September 30th, 2020

Jason Statham, who has crossed 50 years of age, was born on 26 July 1967, is an English actor and diver. He is known for his roles in The Expendables, The Transporter Trilogy and Death Race. He has been typecast as an antihero and is one of the most bankable action heroes in the world.He is well trained in Mixed Martial Arts and is a kickboxing expert. He also learnt Karate, and he had little idea of how all this would benefit him. He has spent 12 years as one of the best divers on the British National Squad and placing an impressive 12^th at the World Championships.  All that years of hard work and training for diving might not have paid off at the Olympics, but it gave him the physique of an athlete.

He prefers to do all his action stunts on his own including the fight sequences and car chase sequences in The Transporter, which came naturally to him since he had a background in martial arts. The fact that he does his own stunts has gained him a lot of fans who turn up time after time to watch his movies. He got his break into the entertainment industry when he featured in an advertisement for the French Connection. He was introduced to the director Guy Ritchie, who gave him an audition for the role of a street hawker in his directorial debut.

He has always held martial arts close to his heart. He grew up watching Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan who were experts in the field themselves. He has a physique that can outperform many action heroes. He has catapulted from being a British actor to an action hero, all thanks to his focus and hard work in the gym.

He has a body built by sheer intensity and a whole lot of hard work in the gym. He has a challenging workout regimen. He sticks to a simple rule: “if you’re going to train, train hard. And train with a purpose. It all stems from an uncompromising mental approach.”

He believes that the human body is like dynamite. You have to hit it so hard that it explodes. He believes in doing 40 hard minutes of workout instead of spending an hour and a half of nonsense. He never does the same workout twice. He has a changing combination of exercise every single day and he finds that very interesting. But the intensity of his workout never falls below full pelt.

His body measurements:

Build: Athletic

Weight: 84 kg or 185 lbs

Height in feet: 5’10”

Height in centimeters: 178 cm

Measurements: 48-28-34 inches (122-46-87 cm) 

Diet: High Protein and No-sugar diet

Workout: Strength training, Boxing

Trainer: Logan Hood

His Diet Routine:

He very religiously follows a diet routine. Sugar is a complete no in his food. He has a wholesome diet and keeps all cravings at bay by having cheat meals once in a while. He doesn’t take processed food in his diet. He sticks to the six-small-meals-a-day rule, but adds discipline by writing down everything he eats in a black book. He calls it ‘The Bible’. When he is training hard, Statham writes down everything he swallows

• Breakfast: Fresh fruits such as pineapple and strawberries, oats, poached eggs; granola/porridge in cold wintry places
• Lunch: Brown rice, steamed vegetables, or miso soup
• Dinner: Lean beef, chicken, fish, a vegetable/salad; he avoids eating after 7 o’clock in the evening
• Peanut butter, nuts, or other high-protein snacks between meals
• At least 5-6 litres water per day

In case you want to lose fat quickly or if you want to kick-start your metabolism, do try out this diet.

His rigorous workout routine:

The fitness freak that he is, he follows those workouts that keep him injury-free. He says he doesn’t want to get injured and lose out on his workout. He has built a gym in his garage and he trains on his own. He does a lot of different training right from mobility to strength and conditioning. He also does a lot of Olympic lifting. He says that once you start getting fit and see the results, it motivates you to achieve more. He doesn’t practice yoga because he thinks it is a little slow for him. He loves his co-star Dwayne Johnson because he thinks Johnson is really inspiring and takes his health and fitness seriously.
