The Fall Guy actress has long peaked our interest and kudos regarding her approach to acting and ensuring her career does not compromise her values as an actress, wife and mom. Likewise, her approach to fitness, health and nutrition are equally exemplary.

We were first introduced to Blunt’s amazing physique in 2014’s The Edge of Tomorrow:

A decade later, the actress continues to impress with her conditioning and fitness.

Emily Blunt’s workout approach to diet and fitness is a blend of disciplined exercise and balanced nutrition. Her workouts, designed by her trainer Monique Eastwood, include bodyweight HIIT, Pilates, and dance-inspired routines that focus on core and pelvic strength.

“We work the body in many different directions and, in doing so, activate more muscles than we even realize. It’s all about keeping the body and mind consistently stimulated,” explains Eastwood. “My workouts also have a big focus on core, which is key to keeping your body strong and stable.”

Emily’s diet complements her fitness regime, with nutritious meals that fuel her body and support her active lifestyle.

Here’s an expanded look at Emily Blunt’s fitness routine:

Weight-lifting: Emily incorporates weight-lifting to build strength and muscle tone. She focuses on compound exercises like squats and deadlifts, which help improve overall body strength.

Sprints: Blunt includes sprints in her routine for cardiovascular fitness and explosive power. Sprint intervals are known to boost metabolism and enhance endurance.

Krav Maga: Emily practices Krav Maga for self-defense and functional fitness. This martial art combines techniques from boxing, wrestling, and street fighting, providing a full-body workout while honing practical skills.

HIIT (High-intensity Interval Training): HIIT workouts are a staple in Blunt’s routine for their efficiency and calorie-burning benefits. She alternates between bursts of intense exercise and short recovery periods to maximize fat loss and improve cardiovascular health.

Core And Pelvic Floor Exercises: Blunt focuses on strengthening her core and pelvic floor muscles, which are essential for stability and posture. These exercises include planks, pelvic tilts, and leg raises to support overall body strength.

Pilates And Dance: Emily enjoys Pilates for its focus on controlled movements and core strength. She also incorporates dance into her routine, which not only provides a cardio workout but also boosts coordination and flexibility.

Stretches: Blunt includes regular stretching sessions to improve flexibility and prevent injury. Stretching also helps her relax muscles post-workout and maintain range of motion.

Blunt focuses on building a strong core and pelvic floor through linked movements, which her trainer explains is a way to activate the core without traditional exercises like sit-ups. Instead, they use movements in different directions, similar to dance, to tone and control the body.

While Emily is still quite away from the magical 50, we have no doubt fitness will continue to play an important part in the actresses life and will revisit her when she eventually reaches that important milestone 😉.
