Megan Fox Workout Routine Diet Plan

Megan Denise Fox has an enviable figure in Hollywood. She has been working out with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak to stay fit. She says that she is not a big fan of a gym. But, still takes the help of a trainer to stay lean and sexy. Top notch celebrity trainer, Harley has developed a 5 Factor Diet Plan for his clients, which helps them to look fit by shedding body weight.

Megan Fox Workout Routine

It’s not like that you need genetics to get a body like her. Just, need a diligent nature towards your workout schedule. She practices a mixture of pilates, cardio, spinning classes into her workout sessions. She is a big fan of pilates, which strengthens and tones the different muscles groups. She performs a circuit training with Pasternak, which is considered the best exercise as this targets your whole body, focussing on almost every muscle group. So, you can feel the fitness level after some time. Megan does the circuit, 3 times a week and 60 minutes a day. It consists of exercises like crunches, hyperextensions, knee ups, lateral plank, swiss ball exercises to maintain the body stability. These vigorous exercises are to performed for short duration, say 5 minutes. Then, take a rest of 30 seconds, before starting another exercise. She performs 3 circuits with 1 circuit being of 15 minutes. The remaining time she does cardio-vascular exercises like running, cycling or dancing. Megan Fox is though very lazy kind of person, when it comes to workout. She says that she hired a personal trainer due to her lazy nature only. She added

“Trainer comes to my house 3 times a week and makes me to go through the exercises. I don’t even needs to leave the house….I am always like – Not Today! Not Today!”

Really, only due to Harley Pasternak’s effort, Megan is so much fit. Can you imagine how Megan Fox would look without any trainer? Could it be like a fat Megan Fox? Maybe, she would manage and realise herself after becoming fat. Anyways, she needs to look sexy, otherwise, like Transformers’ third part was grabbed by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. In the same way, Megan would not be left with any movies.

Megan Fox Diet Plan

Megan Fox enjoys a diet plan made by Harley, which is called a 5 Factor Diet. In this diet she can eat 5 small meals a day. Also, there is a day where she can eat whatever she wants. This is called a cheat day. You can see Harley’s other clients – Lady Gaga Diet, Rihanna Diet.

There are certain things which Megan Fox follows –

• She avoids processed foods like potato chips, white bread, crackers and whole grain foods.
• She consumes fruits and vegetables as a source of carbohydrates.
• She never misses breakfast, which is the most important meal of the day. Megan loves eggs and eats them daily in her breakfast, generally 2 egg whites.
• To get vitamins, especially Vitamin E (a strong antioxidant), she eats almonds. Almonds can also be used to lose weight. Yes, you read it right. It contains protein and fiber that keeps you full. Thus making a good healthy snack.
• To shed some weight, she also intakes apple cider vinegar by putting it on the salads. Be sure to use it in small amounts because it is basic in nature (technically it is acidic).

Want Megan Fox's Killer Body? Harley Pasternak Shares Her Workout

Lately I've been getting a lot of questions about Megan Fox and how incredible she looks only weeks after giving birth to her son. 
Megan, and her husband Brian Austin Green, have been clients of mine for years and may just be the fittest couple in Hollywood. 
This week, I sat down with PEOPLE to answer some of those questions and share secrets to Megan's fit pregnancy and killer post-baby body. 
How did Megan stay healthy throughout her pregnancy?
We worked out throughout her entire pregnancy. She was a model of health through the whole process. She really educated herself big time and had a great relationship with her physician so she really understood the safe boundaries of how to exercise and eat well during pregnancy. As a result, she knew how active she could be and she was very consistent and didn't overdo it. 

Keep up with Megan Fox in the pages of PEOPLE Magazine by subscribing now.

As she progressed from trimester to trimester, we'd modify things. As a result, she was so fit at the point of delivery that it actually went more easily and she was able to get medical clearance relatively quickly to come back and keep working out. 
How long after giving birth did she start working out?
Definitely within a few weeks she was able to come back and workout. We didn't start at full speed – we eased into it. 
How did she train post-baby?
We used the exact same exercises as we did pre-baby. We just focused more on the process and adjusted our program to suit her specific needs and limitations. The workouts we did are like all of my other Five Factor workouts. They are five phases: a minimum five minute cardio warm-up, a lower body sculpting exercise, an upper body toning exercise, then an abdominal sculpting exercise, and finally, a five minute cool down. We tried to have her do minimal impact. Post-baby there shouldn't be a lot of jumping up and down. 
On the days when she doesn't want to leave her baby and come to the gym to see me, she does my video game Harley Pasternak's Hollywood Workout. I actually developed it for a lot of my new mom clients from Jessica Simpson to Hilary Duff, Megan and Milla Jovovich. It's a great, intense workout. 

A Sample Workout

Warm-up: Five minutes on the bike or treadmill 
Lower Body: Skater lunge
Cross your right leg behind your left leg as you bend your left knee into a half-squat position. Extend your left arm out to the side and swing your right arm across your hips. Hop a few feet directly to the right, switching the position of your legs and arms. Repeat on opposite side. 
Upper Body: Supine (lying down) triceps extension
Lie face up on a bench with your arms raised straight above you, a weight in each hand; slowly lower them to the sides of your forehead and repeat. 
Abdominal Sculpting: Superman
Lay on your stomach with your legs and arms fully extended. Slowly, contract your lower back and raise your legs and arms off the ground. Then lower them back down. 
Cool-down: Five minutes on stationary bike. 
We do 20 repetitions of each upper body, lower body, and abs and cycle through those three exercises non-stop, repeating that circuit four times. Each day of the week she would come in and we'd do different body parts at least three days a week. 
Post-baby, which is more important, exercise or diet? 
What's more important in a car, the gas or the tires? You need both. Megan and Brian eat really well. They both cook and love using their blender. They love my smoothie recipes! Megan's favorite is the red smoothie, which is whatever berries are in season, Chai tea, a scoop of protein powder and little bit of almond milk. 

Not quite Masterpiece Classic! Megan Fox is joined by Laura Linney (with curlers in hair) on set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2

It's not often that Megan Fox gets the chance to share the screen with one of Hollywood's most acclaimed actresses. 

But such an opportunity arose for the 28-year-old as she filmed alongside three-time Oscar nominee and Masterpiece Classic host Laura Linney in New York City on Tuesday. 

The brunette knockout was seen on the set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 as the 51-year-old appeared to arrive too early to film a scene with curlers still in her hair.

Reprising her Razzie Award-winning role as TV news reporter April O'Neil, Megan's costume included a slate grey tank top that cut short to reveal a hint of her toned midsection, and grey skinny jeans.

A blue checked sweater wrapped around her waist and black combat boots completed the look.

Laura, whose other honors include two Golden Globes, four Emmy awards and three Tony nominations seems to be making a rather comical departure from her dramatic acting resume.

Her last two films included Genius - a 1920s British literary drama co-starring Colin Firth, Guy Pearce, Jude Law and Nicole Kidman, and Mr. Holmes, opposite Ian McKellen in the title role as Sherlock Holmes. 

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, the Mystic River actress appears to be playing a detective, as she is clad in a low-buttoned white top, black blazer and matching flared trousers.

Adding a convincingly authoritative touch to the ensemble, her waist is adorned with a law enforcement badge and her lapel with an American flag pin.

Played by Alan Ritchson, Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard and Pete Ploszek, the actors are transformed into mutant turtle form through big screen CGI/motion-capture magic. 

They are named after Renaissance artists Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo.

The heroes are mentored by a large talking rat named Splinter, fight crime utilizing their mastery of katana swords, sais, a bo staff and nunchucks, and they indulge in their favorite snack: pizza.

Masterpiece Classic it is not. Since 2009, Laura serves as a presenter for the PBS program that's known for Downton Abbey among other dramas.

Still, her one-year-old Bennett Armistead Schauer will likely be a fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, in theaters on June 3, 2016.

Personal life

Fox began dating actor Brian Austin Green in 2004, after meeting on the set of Hope & Faith; she was 18 years old, while he was 30.[75][76] They became engaged in November 2006.[77] In February 2009, it was reported that they had ended their engagement,[77] before becoming engaged again on June 1, 2010.[78] Fox later denied these reports, stating that they had been continuously engaged since 2006.[79] The couple married on June 24, 2010 in a private ceremony at the Four Seasons Resort on Maui.[80][81] They have two sons: Noah Shannon Green (born September 27, 2012)[82][83] and Bodhi Ransom Green (born February 12, 2014).[84] Through her marriage, Fox is also a stepmother to Green's son Kassius (born March 2002), from his past relationship with actress Vanessa Marcil.[83] In 2009, Fox was targeted by a group of fashion-motivated criminals known as "The Bling Ring", who robbed Green's home because she was living with him.[85]

Fox has been open about her feelings on men and socializing, stating that although she has more in common with men in their thirties, she has a general distrust and dislike of "all boys-slash-men,"[86] and that, despite the public perceiving her as a "wild and crazy sexpot," she is antisocial and has only been sexually intimate with two men her entire life – "My childhood sweetheart and Brian. I can never have sex with someone that I don't love, ever. The idea makes me sick. I've never even come close to having a one-night stand."[87][88] She would rather stay at home and play games instead of going out.[87][89] Fox commented, "My biggest regret is that I've assisted the media in making me into a cartoon character. I don't regret what has happened to me, but I regret the way I have dealt with it."[88]

In September 2008, Fox alluded to being bisexual in an interview with GQ magazine. She said that, when she was 18 years old, she fell in love with and sought to establish a relationship with a female stripper. She used this experience to illustrate her belief that "all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes".[90][91] In May 2009, she confirmed her bisexuality, stating: "I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man."[92][93] In the June 2009 issue of Elle, she revealed that she somewhat distorted the events of her relationship with the stripper, saying she has given certain male writers "an amped-up version" of her past – "They're boys; they're easily toyed with. I tell stories and have them eating out of my hand. Not all of it is true. In fact, most of it is bullshit." Fox said, "I never said she was my girlfriend! I just said that I loved her, and I did love her. The real story is more sobering. It's not a sexy, fun-time, fantasy story. But that's not the story you tell GQ."[86]

Fox has a form of brachydactyly called clubbed thumb,[94] and has discussed her obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), insecurities, self-harming, and has acknowledged that she has low self-esteem.[95] She stated of her OCD, "This is a sickness, I have an illness—this is not OK anymore."[89]

Fox told Esquire in January 2013 that her Christian faith is still very important to her. She said that she still speaks in tongues. "I have to feel like I'm in control of my body," she said. "And I know what you're thinking, Then why would I want to go to church and speak in tongues? You have to understand, there I feel safe. I was raised to believe that you're safe in God's hands. But I don't feel safe with myself."[96]
