Such simple principles allow Lucy to maintain her great shape. But when this is not enough, for example, when she needs to lose weight before filming, Lucy uses a simple diet for quick weight loss. As well as many of her colleagues Lucy Lawless is a big fan of the sport. For example, most of the tricks during 6 years of the series Xena — Warrior Princess Lawless performed on her own. Those who were watching it know that this series was full of acrobatic elements performed by the main character.
Typically, she works hour days: As well as filming, there are script readings, fight sequences to learn, wardrobe fittings autograph signings and publicity and charity appearances.
She also has family commitments with year-old daughter Daisy and husband Rob Tapert, the show's executive producer. Pilates, she says, is "the only time I get to do something for myself". When your job is the challenging role of Xena, fitness is mandatory.
Lawless does her own fight and riding scenes, and filming outdoors in Auckland's changeable climate can be grueling. It can also be rough: she once got a black eye in a fight scene. Pilates has increased her stamina and also given her "amazing" flexibility. Other goals included toning her legs and stabilising her knees.
Burmester increased the resistance and put balls and cushions between her knees and ankles to maintain correct knee alignment during exercises.
But I do want to spend the other six months of the year with my kids. I want to have more kids - three sounds like a really good number to me, but I don't know if there's three more or two more! Let's see what life allows. Q: With your career in high gear, is that possible?
A: I want everything - a loving family and a successful, long-lasting career. Now that I've reached this stage in my life, I have to develop a new attitude towards it all and start making things happen. Time is whizzing by. Q: As the Xena character is so physically demanding, would you quit the show the moment you got pregnant?
A: I don't know, we'll roll with the punches laughs. If I'm in perfect health, it's possible that we could hide the pregnancy by filming Xena standing behind a bush, peeking around a tree trunk or standing up to her neck in water.
It's been done before - with actresses hiding behind refrigerator doors and big planters! Q: In a politically correct world, is it right to show a pregnant superhero fighting bad guys? A: Just because it hasn't happened yet in television history doesn't mean it's impossible. I rather fancy Xena wheeling a little baby pram across the savanna! I think it would give people something to talk about laughs.
Q: What are you doing to stay in shape for an eventual pregnancy? Lawless tried out The Zone diet after breaking her pelvis, according to a article with Globe Magazine. The core of the diet is meat and veggies and tries to limit the total consumption of starchy carbohydrates.
A typical day of eating would look the following:. A diet like this has a lot going for it. Quality protein and vegetables are important for anyone, but especially so if you are going to be putting your body through 14 hour days on set with a challenging workout at the end. Keeping carbs low will help to shed any extra body fat. Lawless took her fitness and nutrition very seriously and it is part of what has made her such a favorite among fans over the years. She was able to convincingly pull off the look off a fierce warrior to lead a hit TV show for 6 seasons.
Lawless has had a long career with many roles in both TV and film, but a generation of fans will always remember her for helping to set the trend for female action heroes as the star of Xena: Warrior Princess.
