At 43, Emily Blunt maintained a toned physique thanks to her strength-based workout, designed by celebrity trainer Monique Eastwood.

Blunt has been receiving training from Eastwood for more than 12 years, and she follows 4 weekly sessions of her training method, the Eastwood Movement Method. It is a dance-based training approach. 

Speaking to Women’s Health, Eastwood, the personal trainer of Blunt, said,

“I trained as a ballerina, and over the years, my Eastwood Movement Method has evolved to blend dance, Pilates, yoga, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), resistance training, and multidirectional movement.”

She further added, “With Emily, our routines often involve HIIT and strength sessions to build lean muscle mass, boost cardiovascular endurance, and improve mobility – always with a strong focus on core strength and posture.” The founder of Eastwood Fir Aap also said, “She moves like a dancer.”

Blunt’s core and arms workout includes exercises such as: 

• Arabesque
• Curtsey leg circles
• Plie jumps 
• Long low lunge
• Single-leg squat with leg lift
• Downward dog to plank with press-ups

While discussing the workout, the trainer explained that it is arm-focused but works every part of the body, helping build mobility, balance, strength, and power.

However, the actress trains herself according to the demands of the role and her energy levels on a given day. Her trainer added, 

“If we’ve had a lot of strong workouts in a week, I like to add stretch sessions to balance it all out and release any tension in the muscles.”

Along with regular training, her fitness also depends on another essential factor, her diet.
