This July another superhero from the pages of Marvel Comics will be gracing our screens. The 20th instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be Ant-Man and the Wasp starring Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly.

Lilly has applied an exceptional training regime to get into shape for her character Hope Van Dyne a.k.a the Wasp.

Before even beginning to attempt a strenuous workout routine, Lilly notes the importance of eating a healthy balanced diet. On Instagram she gave us 3 useful tips:

Tip #1

Let yourself be hungry before you sit down for a meal — that means no snacking to alleviate boredom. Snacking can be best avoided if you are prepared for your next meal — it will be much more tempting to buy unnecessary food items when you don’t have a plan of action, so write a list and stick to it!

Tip #2

Count ingredients NOT calories — overly complex and processed foods are more addictive and less satisfying.

Tip #3

Add more vegetables to every meal.

While healthy eating is a necessity, it will only get you so far. Under the hashtag #waspworkout Lilly has posted a wealth of useful content on how to achieve your ideal fitness goals.

Tip #1

You don’t need to spend hours lifting weights to get muscle definition, instead focus on trying to reduce your body fat. Reducing your alcohol, starch and sugar intake will go far. Lilly is a firm believer in the idea that “losing weight is 30% exercise and 70% what you eat.”

Tip #2

Stretch! By stretching you will get “more definition, greater reach, increased agility, more fluid movement and sharper reflexes.”

Tip #3

Do small ‘blasts’ of exercise to increase your strength. Lilly demonstrates how to do a quick and easy exercise called ‘the funnel.’ These are great because you can do them anywhere and you don’t need a gym membership.
