Straight from cynical fashion queen Emily Charlton in The Devil Wears Prada 2 to supernaturally gifted meteorologist Margaret Fairchild in Spielberg\u2019s new film Disclosure Day, Emily Blunt is one talented (and busy) woman. But, says Monique Eastwood<\/a>, her trainer of more than 12 years, she still finds time to work out consistently.<\/p>\n

While their routine might change depending on the role she\u2019s playing \u2013 and her energy levels on a given day \u2013 Eastwood says Emily\u2019s four weekly sessions all follow the Eastwood Movement Method<\/a>, which is rooted in dance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI trained as a ballerina and over the years my Eastwood Movement Method has evolved to blend dance, Pilates<\/a>, yoga, high-intensity interval training (HIIT)<\/a>, resistance training<\/a> and multidirectional movement<\/a>,\u201d she tells Women\u2019s Health. \u201cAs with all my workouts, the lower body works with the upper body constantly<\/a>. Like a dancer, this way the brain stays engaged with the different sequences.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Emily, our routines often involve HIIT<\/a> and strength sessions to build lean muscle mass<\/a>, boost cardiovascular endurance and improve mobility \u2013 always with a strong focus on core strength and posture<\/a>,\u201d adds Eastwood. \u201cShe moves like a dancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

This particular workout, says Eastwood, is arm-focused<\/a>, but still works the whole body, helping to build strength, mobility, balance and power.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy routines often involve lots of my signature multidirectional movements, which are tough but very centering and precise. I mix things up constantly \u2013 variety is important to stimulate the whole musculoskeletal system.\u201d<\/p>\n
