Jennifer Lawrence looks fab in the Hunger Games, and we’ve already heard from her a little bit about how much she trained and how she got over her fear of spiders.
Now, we’re getting some new details from her trainer, Joe Horrigan!
Here’s what he said about his first task:
‘I was called to help Jennifer prepare for the film by director Gary Ross. Gary and Jennifer had discussed Katniss, her appearance and what the character would be like. They came to a conclusion that Jennifer, who was already in good shape, should be leaner, but they didn├óΓé¼Γäót think that she should be gaunt because she is able to eat in the book version.
To help her get ready for the film, [we helped] improve her agility, her running, her speed and her technique. Then we knew what the goal was and we were able to work towards that goal.’
Here’s what he did specifically:
‘Gary was clear in how he saw Katniss. [Ross] said that she├óΓé¼Γäós a young woman and he felt that a very muscular appearance was not in order. He felt that Jennifer looked fine but we needed to get her lighter. So we did [work] at the track and stationary biking in the evenings. On the stationary bike, it was a blend between anaerobic rides with sprint interval and other time anaerobic endurance, where the sprint be a little longer. Other days, it would be a steady state of traditional cardio rides.’
We can’t wait to see the results!
From what we’ve seen in the trailers… she looks perfect. And we’re so excited that not only do we have her look and build as the character, but her acting prowess as well!
We’re all super lucky she was picked to play Katniss!
