When we talk about coveted celebrity physiques, Jason Statham instantly makes the list. The Beekeeper star has maintained his physique and fitness, staying in impressive shape even at 59. So many of his fans may ask: how does Statham train at this age?

According to a July 26 Instagram post from Men's Health AU, “Statham trains hard, but not just to look good.” “Musclemen grow on trees,” he once said. “They can tense their muscles and look good in a mirror. So what? I’m interested in practical strength that’s going to help me run, jump, twist, punch.”

The actor is also very time-conscious and prefers short, high-intensity sessions. Statham said, “Get serious. Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and a half of nonsense. It’s so much more rewarding.”

Regarding his training approach, according to the Men's Health AU article, Statham’s former trainer once revealed his weekly training routine to Men's Health US, which looks like the following.

Jason Statham’s day 1 workout

The 1st day of his week is dedicated to deadlift. The deadlift workout routine looks like:

• 10-minute rowing machine
• He performs many sets, including pull-ups, push-ups, and barbell squats, in just 10 minutes
