Joe Manganiello Workout Routine

In an interview, Manganiello has revealed that he trains hard as a professional athlete. Before appearing in True Blood, he trained with fitness trainer Ron Matthews who devised a 6-day workout regime, which helped him in lowering his overall body fat and increasing muscle definition.

The 39-year-old movie star trained each muscle group by working on the muscle tips rather than exercising the larger and heavier parts of muscles. He began his training session in the morning with light workouts and then increased the intensity during the second session in the afternoon. The actor succeeded in reducing his body weight by 8 percent, losing 12 pounds in just 3 months.
