Training principles
It is said that Ewan doesn’t really like the gym. He is boring when he sees the weights, circuit training and the treadmills.
He prefers his outdoor workouts.
He likes to jog 5 miles.
Sometimes he goes up to 8 miles.
In preparation for the Star Wars Obi-Wan The Ewan series worked with its personal trainer on the P90x training.
What is that?
It is the idea of Tony Horton who is Ewan’s personal trainer.
It consists of a number of movements and exercises that increase your metabolism. It also increases fat loss.
You will find many cardio exercises, strength training, yoga, plyometry and Kenpo karate.
Each training lasts about 75 minutes for six days a week.
The aim is to improve your general strength, burn fat and stabilize your core.
The focus changes every week, it is never repeated and gives your body time to recover when you work other muscles.
Training methods
Nowadays it has become the norm for Hollywood actors to be torn for roles.
Apart from that, the action roles have become much more intense and detailed in recent years.
So when it came to it Obi-Wan The McGregor series also had to roll up the sleeves and bend some muscles for its life -saving battles.
But he says that his first training method always runs.
“I think it’s nice for your brain. It’s a bit of zen.”
But he also had to do strength training so that he could use the lightsaber correctly and also perform stunts in some of the combat scenes.
“For months we have been doing these monsters, two and a half hours of sessions of swords and seams.” says McGregor.
Playing Jedi is a physical role, he says, and finally he had to make sure that he could defend the young Luke Skywalker.
Training routine
Ewan McGregor certainly managed to stay young and fit.
He says he doesn’t really participate in certain training routines.

Remarkable recommendations
He says that the best advice he got was:
“The first job I have ever done was a TV series called Lipstick on your collar, from a brilliant television author named Dennis Potter. At that time it was my first piece of work, and he said:
“Look when you see that, things will be offered and you will want to do everything.” And he told me (I) should make sure to do the right thing next, and the next piece of work (I) is always very important.
So I think I – I hope I did that. “
Well, it looks like they have been quite successful since then – they go, Ewan!
“I am in a position in which I can do a lot of things that most people only have.” – – Ewan McGregor
