If you payed attention to the commercials during the Super Bowl you probably caught the teaser for the upcoming action movie "GI Joe: Retaliation". This is a new movie from producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura the same man who produced all of the "Transformer" movies. It co-stars Bruce Willis who plays General Joe Colton the man who founded the GI Joe team.
I must admit I am a huge Bruce Willis fan from back in his "Die Hard" days. Bruce has a swag about him and is very good at playing the "gritty-can't catch a break-tough guy" roles. My first thought when I saw the commercial was "Wow Bruce is back ", I figured Bruce had hung up the gun holster and six pack for a much deserved Hollywood retirement which usually means sitting in a beach house somewhere getting fat. To my surprise Bruce Willis now 56 years looks as though he can still rumble with the best of them and appears to be in great shape.
Well how does he do it you might ask...diet and exercise.
I know you've heard it all before but according to Hollywood's most successful personal trainers there is no other way to preserve your body other than diet and exercise and Bruce Willis takes it seriously. Bruce keeps off the mid-age flab by doing an hour long session of cardio and strength exercises everyday, especially if he know he's going to be filming soon. Even on the set during lunch he works out with an exercise ball. As we get older our metabolism slows down, Gunnar Peterson Willis' personal trainer recommends eating smaller meals that contain at least 3to 5 oz. of protein such as chicken, tofu or turkey. He recommends avoiding flour and sugar and consuming more fruits and vegetables instead.
Man! seeing Bruce Willis in great shape has really inspired me seeing that even at the age of 56 you can still have a few tricks up your sleeve.
