Denzel Washington’s Approach To Clean Living

Posted on Jun 02, 2009 by Andrew in Celebrity Diets & Workouts .

It’s been 13 years since People magazine declared him as “The Sexiest Man Alive” and Denzel Washington still has the goods! Staying on top of the sexiest man alive list takes consistency in both health and fitness. So what is the foundation for this type of consistency? According to Washington, it’s part and parcel of clean living (How Celebrities Lose Weight):

I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from getting my mind and body together.”

But clean living is of course only a part of Washington’s physical prowess. Check out how much he benches (Playboy):

Playboy: How do you stay in shape?

Washington: I do a cardio workout. I’ve been pushing weights.

Playboy: How much weight?

Washington: I’m benching 315…

I feel bad when I don’t exercise. I need to get in a workout, at least cardio. It helps me get through the day. I was dog-tired this morning, but after an hour of cardio I’ve got energy. After cardio I hit the weights.”

Washington goes on to explain his training for the movie THE HURRICANE:

“I would run six miles, have breakfast, train two hours lifting and then work with the stunt guys for three or four more hours. I’d stay in the ring all day doing choreography with them. I was doing it five days a week. I was strong and went down to 176 pounds.”

But sometimes even Denzel needs to cleanse it out a little according to his trainer Kacy Duke in an article in the New York Times:

“Ms. Duke, who puts herself on the lemonade diet four times a year for a week to 12 days, pointed to other supposed benefits. “My eyes are clearer, my skin has a different glow and some of my best running times have been while I’m on master cleanse,” she said. She introduced it to her client Denzel Washington and “he loved it,” she said.”

Having been dedicated to health and fitness his whole life, Washington, like most of us, is bound to try things like cleanse diets and what not. But in the long run, it’s that consistent clean living that keeps him in great shape!
