Justin Theroux's fat burning workout

Sculpt lean man-muscle with our cover star's fitness regime

Looking to freshen up your workout this weekend? These barbell moves and compound exercises are the building blocks of Theroux's physique. This workout from his PT, Jason Walsh of Rise Nation, kicks off with a big lift, engaging all major muscles while pushing your body into prime fat-burning territory. The moves that follow capitalise on this boost to get you lean, quickly.

Theroux's got the physique of a man half his age and he isn't a bad looking chap either. If there's one workout to give a go, it's this.

We've also got his full functional strength programme, too. But we can't give it all away. You'll need to grab a copy.

The foundations of Theroux's fat burning

1. Thruster with kettlebells

3 sets of 10 reps

From a front position, drop into a squat. Press back up explosively and use the momentum to drive the kettlebells overhead, maintaining a straight back. Lower the bar and repeat.

2. Farmer's wall

3 sets of 30sec

Grab a heavy dumbbell or kettlebell in each hand, tucking in your pelvis to avoid your back stooping with the weight. Walk forward over a set distance, not pausing at the end before you turn to walk back.

3. Front squat

3 sets of 8 reps

Legs feeling heavy? Push through to complete 8 reps with a full range of motion: with a barbell across your chest, squat down to 90 degress. Tense your core to stay upriht as you drive back up to the top.

4. L-sit pull-up

3 sets of 8-10 reps

Your legs may get a breather, but this move is tough on your core. Lift your legs until your body is bent at a right angle, then drive your elbows down as you pull your chest to the bar. Lower with control.
