How long, and how many hours a day would it take to go from normal healthy weight body to one in shape comparable to Jennifer Garner.

Somebody’s going to ask you this so it might as well be me. Why do you want to go from a normal healthy body weight to one that looks like Jennifer Garner’s?

different body, different results, no one is the same.. the only thing thats the same for everyone is. if you start throwing up, in due time you’ll loose your gag reflexes.

@janbb i agree…jen’s body? seriously? why not sandra bullock, have you seen her body in her last movie “blindside?” AMAZING.

What’s your version of “normal healthy weight”? Jennifer Garner looks pretty normal and healthy to me in most pictures, especially lately (not during her Alias days).

Come on, everyone wants to look like this now a days

To be small and healthy can be quite dangerous. If you want to shed a few pounds/inches, run a good 3 miles everyday, then do abdominal workouts. When your abs get stronger your stomach will compress. Make sure you eat after work outs or all you’ll be doing is devouring muscle. Stay healthy kiddo, over exertion and starvation sucks harder than you know. Trust me.

A body like that of jennifer garner or jessica biel is about 3 things: Diet, Weight Training, Cardio (in that order)

You can lose weight easy by cutting a few calories and being a cardio bunny, but if you want that toned and cut look that both of these women possess, you need to realize that it takes work.

Diet is ~80%, Weight Training is ~15%, and Cardio is ~5%

I would start with a diet based around a caloric range of 11 X your bodyweight, keep protein at around 1g/per pound of bodyweight, carbs at 1g/per lb of bodyweight, and healthy fats to fill in the rest of the calories (Keep in mind both carbohydrates and protein contain 4 calories per gram and fat contains 9 calories per gram…another side note is alcohol has 7 calories per gram, so watch the alcohol consumption)

Workout-wise—>Shoot for a full body style weight training schedule 3x week and cardio 2x week (no more than 30–45 minutes)

If you have any more specific questions, give me your email address and I will be more than happy to address them.

It’s hard to be too specific here as I do not know your height, weight, diet, etc.

That Giuliana woman on E! is going on about how she wants to have a baby but when the Dr said she needs to put on a few lbs she has to think about it. (unless you have 15% body weight, your body thinks you are starving and may shut off baby making hormones) After being told this she is back to her hour long workouts.

The Holocaust chic look is unhealthy in the long term. It’s how you feel, not how you look that matters.

If you want to look like Jennifer Garner, you have to be Jennifer Garner. I’m saying this because she is shaped the way she is because of genetics and her hard word. I’m not saying you cannot look like her because you could. Not everyone is going to have the same results. It sounds like you have a good routine going. Stick with it and I am sure you will certainly feel better and see good results further down the road

Are you built similarly? She has a long narrow torso, wide shoulders and long legs. It’s not so much the height but the body build. If you have small to medium bones and straight build then you could ideally get that body in about 4 months.

@hungryhungryhortence maybe that;s the problem. I’m 5’6” with a long body but a 27” inseam. I’m proportioned like a leprechaun so exercise just makes my calves get muscular.

@galileogirl: If you’re built shorter below and solid then yeah, just by weight distribution you’re going to bulk there. Your calves and legs would benefit by swimming and stretching.
