Joe Manganiello is a new addition to the third season of True Blood. Manganiello, who plays the werewolf Alcide Herveaux, had to get ripped for his shirtless scenes to stay on par with Anna Paquin and Ryan Kwanten. Fortunately for him – thanks to his naturally muscular body and already-healthy diet, this was (relatively) easier than for most people.
Joe Manganiello Workout
When he started preparing for his True Blood role, Joe Manganiello weighed 240 pounds with 18% body fat. Therefore for him, ” it was about becoming more defined and cutting up the mass [he] already had,” said Manganiello in the August 2010 of Men’s Fitness. He worked out 6 days a week, twice a day! That’s twelve workouts a week!
For three of the days, he used a workout routine created by his physical trainer, Ron Matthews (who helped trained Hugh Jackman for X-Men, which is similar to Jackman’s Wolverine Workout), twice a day, three times per week. Manganiello also trained on his own three more times per week. He’d do his cardio in the mornings, and his strength training in the afternoon.
Here are some of Joe Manganiello’s workout tips, he revealed to the New York Post.

Recently People StyleWatch chatted with several celebrity trainers to learn how Hollywood’s sexiest ladies stay in shape. The stars have workout tips and favorite moves from yoga, to dance, to running. Check out what how hot celebrity trainers get six of your favorite A-listers camera ready!
Kate Bosworth’s trainer Maria Leone says, “A dancer’s physique is what we are after.” To prepare Kate for one of her favorite activities, horseback riding, Maria says, ”We keep her body streamlined and toned using light spring resistance to strengthen her upper body. While performing legwork we always incorporate a lot of flexibility to increase range of motion of her legs.”
Tina Fey’s Pilates instructor Kristin McGee says, “I would say Tina’s a yoga girl.” ”She liked the chaturanga, [which] is a narrow arm push-up. Her upper body is beautiful. She loves the fact that she can do the chaturanga to add a little bit of that tone.”
Kristin McGee also trains Leann Rimes. Kristin says, “She’s a runner and you get really tight in the front of your quads.” To combat muscle soreness, Kristin taught Leann the importance of stretching her quads before and after a run.

Last month I saw Lady Gaga in concert at Lollapalooza, so I can personally say that her body looks fantastic. She struts and dances around the stage, loaded with energy. Her three costume changes per song are probably a great workout in itself! People magazine recently shared how Lady Gaga prepared for her Monster Ball tour and for her grueling schedule of rehearsals and interviews. Apparently, it is all about a healthy, balanced diet.
Traveling around the world is strenuous on its own. But combined with nighty dance performances and months of practice, Lady Gaga’s schedule requires optimal health. She gets her workout from her job, but healthy eating isn’t always so convenient. After Lady Gaga fainted in her New Zealand concert earlier this year, she decided it was time to refine her diet habits.
According to her choreographer, LaurieAnn Gibson, Lady Gaga enjoys low-fat and high-protein snacks. Gibson says, “It’s all about salsa with grain chips, tofu, turkey slices, hummus and coconut water.” Salsa is low in calories and grain chips provide healthy whole grains. Tofu, turkey slices, and hummus provide a variety of light protein sources, keeping her full longer but not weighing her down – perfect for dancing.
