“Hamilton, 34, was a recent mother (her son, Dalton Abbott, is now 20 months old) with a few pounds of baby fat left when personal trainer Anthony Cortes began working with her last summer, 13 weeks before T2 shooting started. They trained for three hours a day, six days a week, usually in the garage of the actress’ Santa Monica home. The regimen continued throughout the grueling six-month shoot. Her drills included aerobic exercise (running, biking, swimming, or stair-climbing) followed by free weights interspersed with mini-trampoline work — and, for dessert, walking lunges or an abdominal series.”

Three hours a day, six days a week is a lot to fit into my schedule.  After all, I have two kids and no nanny.  I’ll have to give that some thought.

Aerobic exercise, free weights and more of the same.  Clearly she worked very hard to achieve the look she did.  She did have the benefit of a personal trainer and a big paycheck to keep her motivated to stick with it.  Could an imaginary trainer and paycheck be just as motivational?  We’ll see!
