Blake Lively may not have been at the 2021 Met Gala, but she’s still making headlines with her stunning post-baby physique. The actress has left fans in awe of her incredible shape, and her trainer Don Saladino has revealed the secret to her fitness.
Don Saladino, who has worked with A-listers like Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Cindy Crawford, doesn’t believe in unsustainable practices when it comes to fitness. Instead, he focuses on instilling healthy habits that his clients can maintain in the long run.
“We’re never doing anything unhealthy,” Don revealed in an interview with E! News. “We’re never starving ourselves, we’re never dehydrating the body, we’re never doing no-to-low carb.”
Rather than worrying about weight, the trainer wants his clients to focus on building strength and putting on muscle. “If every woman came to me and they said, ‘I want to put on muscle,’ that would probably allow me to get everyone to their goal,” he says. “That’s what I’ve been doing with thousands of people now, teaching them, ‘Let’s try and put on muscle, you won’t look muscular, but you’ll have that lean, athletic body that you want.'”
Don’s popular six-week program is designed to build muscle and burn fat without drastic diet limitations. His clients also understand the importance of hydration and sleep quality, which he calls “non-negotiable” factors. The trainer recommends seven to nine hours of sleep and advises increasing the length of sleep time.
“Sleep is a fat burner, and it’s free,” Don explains.
According to the trainer, his approach to fitness is all about making healthy choices that can be sustained in the long run. “We want to instill healthy habits that people can maintain for the rest of their life, not just for six weeks,” he says.
With Don’s help, Blake Lively has clearly been able to achieve incredible results. The actress has been turning heads with her post-baby physique, and her fans can’t wait to see what she does next.
