You my recognize Joe Taslim from some pretty awesome roles, most recently as Sub Zero in Mortal Kombat!
He’s also starred in both Warrior and The Raid.
Recently he sat down for Men’s Health and recorded a video sharing his approach to training for his acting career.
We have also just featured some of his other costar’s workouts from Mortal Kombat as well.
We had our:
- Mehcad Brooks Workout and Diet Plan
- Lewis Tan Mortal Kombat Workout
- Ludi Lin Mortal Kombat Workout
- Ludi Lin Workout and Diet Plan
But now we’re moving on from Jax, Cole Young and Liu Kang and moving into Sub Zero territory instead!
Right off the bat Joe Taslim explains that his training is quite simple.
He says:
“My training is very simple. I don’t use a lot of equipment. I go to the gym to use the treadmill. And then I only use the treadmill for 20 minutes. It’s kind of like VO2 Max Training, high intensity – but without the intervals.”
He then goes on to name a few other things he adds to his regime while there, including a judo shadow and flexibility work.
He also describes some of the weight training he DOES do and breaks down a full workout routine (which I’ll go through one by one).
We’ll go over this in more detail below, but Taslim is very into working on his mixed martial arts and choreography inside the gym as well.
