We cornered Rocky's trainer Danny Musico to get you looking fit this summer.
1. Train
Train hard and train even harder. There’s no other way to put it.
2. Run
Do a combination of sprints, running up stairs and running long distances to build your stamina.
3. Punch
Go round after round with the punching bag until your arms fall off. Use as much power and speed as possible without compromising your form.
4. Jump
Get out the skipping rope and jump until you dig a hole in the ground.
5. Hit
Hit the punching bag with maximum power and throw in a shedload of combinations. You will have to ice down your shoulders afterwards. No pain no gain!
6. Crunches
Do so many crunches, either as a sit up or with a medicine ball. Add an extra weight to the crunches to maximise the technique.
7. Reps
Continue doing reps to ensure you maintain a lean boxing muscle mass.
8. Eat
Stick to a low fat, non-sugary diet with plenty of protein to gain lean muscle. Drink lots of water, too.
9. Rest
Ensure your body has plenty of rest between workouts.
10. Every day
Never miss a day of training.
What was it like working with Sly and what were the challenges in getting him back into shape for the last instalment of the Rocky franchise?
Sly is one of the hardest-working people I know. Sly has a work ethic like no other and doesn’t know the word quit.
Do you feel the rest of the Rocky films lived up to the first film?
There will never be another
Rocky, let’s face it. But each one had its own unique story line that left us wanting to cheer for Rocky again and again. I loved them all.
Will there be any more Rocky films in the future?
One could only hope that the story will never end. The series had so many memories. I remember being in a packed theatre at the end of
Rocky and the whole audience jumped to their feet in applause, screaming, “Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!” I will never forget that experience.
