When it comes to coveted celebrity physiques, Jason Statham is a standout. The Beekeeper actor has honed his body to stay in incredible shape, even at 58. And the go-to workout<\/a> behind his impressive rig for the upcoming action thriller is shorter than you might expect.<\/p>\n

For the preparation for The Beekeeper, which soon has a sequel on the way, Statham teamed up with two-time taekwondo national campion and former UFC welterweight James Moontasri<\/a>. Twelve weeks before filming began, the coach and actor trained rigorously. <\/p>\n

Talking to Men’s Journal, Moontasri says, ‘Jason stays in phenomenal shape year round on his own, so he showed up in a great place. That makes my job easy and, in the end, when it comes to Jason, I\u2019m just there to help him execute on what he already knows.’<\/p>\n

Training<\/a> would begin at 5am and would include jiu jitsu and boxing, ‘Sometimes, there wouldn\u2019t need to be words exchanged between us,’ says Moontasri. ‘I could just tell when he wanted to start by hitting something, and I\u2019d pick up the pads.<\/p>\n

‘The benefit of working with someone like Jason, who\u2019s skilled in martial arts, is we can train for three or four hours without anyone getting bored.’ Moontasri continued to mention they would practice stunt drills Statham would perform during filming. ‘Jason likes to execute everything he does to perfection. That means throwing a kick or a punch for hours for it to be flawless in the sequence.’<\/p>\n

And one of the moves Statham particulalry excels at is pull-ups<\/a>. ‘Jason can crush pull-ups and muscle-ups<\/a> like crazy, and he does them on the gymnast rings. He\u2019s got a routine he\u2019ll do on his own before we work together, and it\u2019s pretty intense. I think being able to push yourself in isolation is a massive advantage.’<\/p>\n

The following training is an example of the workouts Statham and Moontasri did prepping for The Beekeeper. You’ll need a pull-up bar<\/a>, rowing machine<\/a>, and a Swiss ball.<\/p>\n

Jason Statham’s Core Workout<\/p>\n

Perform the A block for 4 rounds, completing the prescribed reps, time, or distance for each movement. Keep rest tight: 15 seconds between exercises and 1 minute before starting the next round.<\/p>\n

After that, move on to the Swiss ball B block. Again, work through 4 rounds, spending 45 seconds on each exercise with 15 seconds\u2019 rest in-between, and taking 2 minutes before beginning the next round. On the final round, push each exercise to failure.<\/p>\n
