Lauren Graham's Workout Info

Ever want to know how Lauren Graham stays so fit? Well, Ron Matthews, her trainer, gives us all the info in the latest edition of digital magazine VivMag. I cannot seem to get the darn thing to give me my free sample of the magazine, so I don’t have the entire thing, just the parts of it that were republished here:

Lauren Graham: Diet
Lauren’s daily calorie goal is 1600-1700. She allows herself to indulge in desert and pasta on occasion.

Breakfast – Tortilla wrap with 1 slice of low fat cheese and 3-4 egg whites and 2 tablespoons of salsa
Snack – Atkins bar
Lunch – Large mixed green salad with 4-6 ounces of lean protein such as chicken, turkey or fish.
Snack – 3/4 cup cottage cheese
Dinner – 6-8 ounces of lean protein like chicken or fish with 1/3 cup brown rice, 1 1/2 cups steamed veggies, such as asparagus, broccoli, mushrooms, peppers (no peas or corn).
Beverages – Lauren drinks 8 glasses of water per day. She’ll add a glass of water if she drinks a caffeinated beverage to offset any dehydrating effects.

Ron’s philosophy is to allow for one cheat meal per week, but he recommends not to overdo it and turn it into all day cheat-fest.

“If you try to eat perfectly all the time you will fail, so don’t set yourself up for defeat. When you know you are going to rewarded with that occasional piece of cake, it makes sense to focus on clean eating the rest of the time.”

Lauren Graham: Workout
Lauren workout sessions with Ron are an hour long, 4 days a week. He keeps her excited about her workouts by mixing it up, with an emphasis on working the core and stability training. Ron aims to keep her heart rate about 145 for each session. If they are unable to meet she’ll do cardio on her own instead.

“Consistency is key. The body does better if you work out at the same time each day – your body will then realize when it needs calories and will have energy available at that time.”
