Paolo Mascitti told British GQ that his schedule for David Corenswet consisted of a push day, a pull day, and then a leg day. Mascitti’s strategy of mixing up the workout routine comes with its benefits according to research conducted by NBC’s Better, including keeping muscles engaged. “The body works in different energy systems, so it’s important to vary strength and cardio, mobility and flexibility training,” fitness instructor and food coach Liz Barnet told the outlet. “Many workouts focus on one thing more than another, so it’s good to change it up.” There are, however, some downsides to this approach.
Workout coach Dan Trink, who is a certified strength and conditioning specialist, believes that constantly switching up exercise classes can sometimes have a negative impact on a client’s momentum. “If you’re in it strictly to have fun or as a form of socializing — that’s great, have a ball. If you’re looking to maximize your fitness, however, you can fall into the trap of ‘mixing it up’ at the expense of actually making progress, getting better and reaching your goals.” Judging by some of the images that have come out of Corenswet since he started working toward his Superman look, it seems as though mixing it up has been working wonders for him. There’s no right way to achieve your workout goals, only the way that works for you, and that’s why Hollywood studios bring in the top trainers to get the best out of their stars with tailor-made programs.
