Okay Batman’s mom is freakin’ hot.
Don’t deny it…
Lauren Cohan is not only Maggie from Walking Dead, but she also played Martha Wayne in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. She’s actually been in a handful of other fun things, including Supernatural from 2007-2008 as Bela Talbot!
You guys are obviously free to correct me if I’m wrong (which is always allowed), but I’m pretty sure she’ll even be our first Walking Dead star on SHJ!
I guess we’ll have to get some more to follow.
Lauren Cohan Stats:
Height: 5’7
Weight: 121 lbs.
Age: 36 years old
Lauren Cohan stands in actually above the average range for women, which is more-so around the 5’4-5’6 range with ladies like Jennifer Aniston, Margot Robbie, Katie Cassidy, Katheryn Winnick, Caity Lotz, Olivia Munn, and many more.
Standing in at roughly 5’7-5’8 puts her in the taller range with women like Daisy Ridley, Sophie Turner, Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna, and even the tallest being Gal Gadot and Gwendoline Christie.
We do see the shorter range of women at SHJ as well, like Scarlett Johansson, Emilia Clarke, Natalie Portman, Demi Lovato, Julianne Hough, and more.
But, these are just some fun comparisons.
This routine is good for anyone and everyone to utilize.

Lauren Cohan Diet and Nutrition
Above is a picture of Lauren Cohan with Shape Magazine.
They are awesome enough to have a TON of information about Lauren Cohan’s workout routine and diet.
That being said, we’ll start with the diet portion now.
Cohan tells Shape:
“On Sundays I chop up tons of vegetables and make three or four Mason jars’ worth of dressings, and I throw dishes together at random during the week. With my schedule, it makes it so much easier to have things ready to go in my fridge. I eat healthy. But I splurge, too. My favorite is Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. I’m obsessed with them!”
I love when celebs tell us about their splurges. AKA: their go-to cheat meals.
You guys know we do our Food Challenges on the SHJ YouTube Channel, and I believe fitness and nutrition is all about sustainability.
That’s exactly why sustainability and options are the backbones for our Academy and Nutrition Classes (SuperHuman, Minimalist, Viking, Spartan, Monk, Samurai, Hunter Gatherer).
So, clearly Cohan suggests meal prepping and being ready “on the go”, but she also reminds us that it’s okay to be human as well and splurge a bit.
I will suggest utilizing things like calorie awareness, intermittent fasting, cyclical ketosis, and a wide range of other tools we discuss in our Nutrition Pillars.

Lauren Cohan Workout Routine Research
Going back to Lauren Cohan’s interview with Shape, we have so much more about her workout.
Cohan says:
I have the best regime ever right now. I work with a trainer, AJ Fisher, and we do three to four days a week, either in person, if we’re in the same city, or on Skype. I do all core-based alignment training and strength training. If I don’t die at the end of 90 minutes, then it hasn’t been a good workout. [Laughs]
Which she continues with:
So I do that, and then on the weekends I’ll do yoga, and one day a week I do a rest day.
And Shape asks if that means she does absolutely no physical activity on these rest days. Cohan responds with:
[Smiles] Well, I’ll do 20,000 steps. But just walking!
She also mentions the fact that she loves yoga and mediation a few more times throughout the interview. One great quote that comes up during the meditation discussion is:
I think what happened was I didn’t have a very good balance with exercise and food. I’d be stressed-out and I’d eat too much, or I’d be stressed-out and I’d stop exercising. The last few years, I’ve been focusing on consistency and balance, and it’s made a huge difference. I have timers on my phone for everything: It’s time to meditate, it’s time to do this. The best way for me to put it is that if my spiritual life isn’t bigger than my outside life, then I’m out of balance. I make my spiritual life a priority. I’m taking the time to be a better person so I can be of service—putting other people before myself.
Hey, we love consistency and balance!
That sounds sustainable!
But, one last quote from Cohan about her workout before we get started:
“I like a challenge. I get such a sense of satisfaction when I push myself beyond what I thought I could do. That’s what any HIIT or interval training does for me. If I sprint at 9.5 for two minutes, I feel really good.”
And….now we’re ready!
