<\/p>\n Having trained half of Hollywood since opening his Los Angeles gym in 2005, the co-founder of plant-based protein brand RISE311<\/a> highlights New Year\u2019s resolutions as a prime example.<\/p>\n Latest Videos FromFit&Well<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s the wrong mentality,\u201d Walsh tells Fit&Well, between training sessions with Jake Gyllenhaal for Road House 2 and Sebastian Stan for the next Batman saga.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople go to these boot camps and training classes, but you have to prep your body before you can take it from zero to 60,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n As a result, \u201cpeople get burnt out, hurt, and have to start the whole process over, telling themselves, \u2018Well, screw it, we\u2019ll see what happens next year.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s just the wrong approach,\u201d says the 50-year-old. \u201cStop trying to go from zero to fit in a matter of weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n The simplest thing you can do for your long-term health <\/p>\n Instead of annual resolutions, which are unlikely to last, Walsh prefers to encourage new clients to view exercise as a daily habit like brushing your teeth.<\/p>\n \u201cYou should want to do it. Even on the days you don\u2019t want to do it, there should be a discipline [that makes it part of your routine].<\/p>\n \u201cIt becomes habitual. It becomes part of your life.\u201d<\/p>\n What to read next<\/p>\n Above all, he advocates doing one thing every day if you’re truly determined to change your body composition and improve your long-term health: walk.<\/p>\n \u201cIn Los Angeles, people don\u2019t walk,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the easiest and simplest things you can do is get people to start walking. Then all of a sudden, they\u2019re like, \u2018Wow my back pain went away. All I had to do was start walking.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cGo for hikes, get out in nature. It\u2019s all there. You have the ability. The simplest thing you can do is just add movement. Just move. It\u2019s so simple.\u201d<\/p>\n How to put the advice into practice<\/p>\n It might sound oversimplistic, but the goal is to raise your baseline of activity and make movement\u2014and therefore exercise\u2014part of your routine so it no longer feels like a chore.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you don\u2019t walk a lot, get out and walk. If you\u2019re walking and you\u2019re trying to change your body composition it\u2019s one of the easiest and best ways,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n If walking isn\u2019t for you, Walsh says that\u2019s not a problem.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no \u201cright or wrong\u201d way to exercise. You might like lifting weights, or using a bike.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just moving and giving the body stress and adapting to that stress. That\u2019s all it is. It\u2019s a pretty simple process.\u201d<\/p>\n Swimming is another option. \u201cI trained Bradley Cooper for A Star is Born. Man, we did some pool workouts that were just brutal and it changed his whole physique.\u201d<\/p>\n The bottom line: just move.<\/p>\n \u201cBike, walk, do recreational things. Just start moving. That\u2019s the baseline. That\u2019s it. That\u2019s as easy as it gets.\u201d<\/p>\n About our expert<\/p>\n About our expert<\/p>\n \nJason Walsh\n<\/p>\n Strength and conditioning coach<\/p>\n Jason Walsh is widely regarded as one of Hollywood’s top strength and conditioning coaches, with more than 30 years of experience building resilient, high-performance physiques for elite athletes and A-list actors, models and musicians preparing for physically demanding roles.
