According to Scarlett Johansson's personal trainer, her goal to prepare for the role of Black Widow in Avengers/End Games was to get closer to the limits of the superhero character.The co -founder Eric Johnson, a co -founder of NY's leading fitness company, told the bazaar on her stunning strength, her quick skills, and her dislike of her.
"The inspiration for this work was Sarah Connor played by Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2," said Johnson."She doesn't smoke like her in the play, she walks around many miles or sleeps only for 4 hours at night ..."

Training strategy
"We have captured the process just as athletes preparing for the competition," said Johnson. Various schedules focused on "her body has been followed by focusing on performance" and "comprehensive training to create basic strength." This is a combination of "Priometric (muscle tension method), yoga, Olympic weight lift, kettlebell, and gymnastics to bring performance to peak levels." Each session starts with a mobility movement that specializes in the limit of scarlet, and then performs a circuit for "base making". This includes exercises such as the lower body prionic (such as jumping), medicine ball throwing, integrated trunk movement, and dynamic mobility (such as bear crawl). Johansson's favorite exercises are deadlifts, pull -ups, military presses, pistol squats, and kettle ball swings. "We not only challenged her body to adapt, but also stimulates mental," says Johnson.

Johansson's meal plan was also strict, focusing on the concept of carbo cycle. "While maintaining the intake of protein, we cycle the days of consuming more carbohydrates and reducing fat intake, and the days of reducing carbohydrates and increasing fat intake," Johnson explains. The meal time was also limited, and I had to have at least 12 hours (fasting) time every day. "It's a rough guideline, and with the shooting schedule, I sometimes pushed it to 14 to 15 hours," Johansson was "about a year" during the entire shooting period of "Infinity War" and "End Game". It was said that it was practiced. In order to blow your life into the characters in the comic book, you need a superhuman -level self -control and dedication!
