It looks like Hugh keeps up with the lessons, for physical and mental well-being.

His weekly group class has grown from two students to more than 30, and he has become a frequent visitor to many of Manhattan's luxury apartments and brownstones, giving private lessons to the likes of actor Hugh Jackman, Leonard Lauder, chairman emeritus of Estee Lauder, and Freddie Gershon, chairman and CEO of Music Theatre International, a theatrical licensing agency...

What is tai-chi?

Tai chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that has evolved over centuries to become a means of alleviating stress and anxiety, a form of "meditation in motion." Advocates claim that it promotes serenity and inner peace. The phrase "t'ai chi ch'uan" translates to "supreme ultimate fist" or "boundless fist.

From Ben Affleck to Hugh Jackman, How Actors Over 40 Are Redefining Movie Fitness

Actors playing superheroes are helping lead a fitness movement: the Aesthetic Revolution

Umberto Gonzalez | September 25, 2016 @ 9:00 AM



Hollywood's Aesthetic Physiques



In the past, superhero films often chose the biggest, buffest guy possible to play the hero — think Shaquille O’Neal as “Steel.” Today’s films choose a great actor first — think Robert Downey Jr. as “Iron Man” — and then get him in incredible shape.

That has led to many older onscreen heroes, since an actor may be in his 40s before he has the star power to be a convincing icon. And the maturity that comes with age has helped forge a new perceived physical ideal.

“I think that the type of training has changed dramatically from bodybuilding to a more athletic build focusing more on health and longevity,” said trainer Jason Walsh, owner of L.A.’s Rise Nation, who helped Bradley Cooper add 40 pounds for “American Sniper” and helped Matt Damon shape up for “Jason Bourne.”



“There’s better science and better methodologies, which leads to better/different mindsets and ultimately better bodies,” Walsh told TheWrap.

The twenty-plus inch biceps of past movie stars have given way to leaner, ripped and toned bodies — a look people in the fitness world refer to as aesthetic.




The word “aesthetic” is defined as being concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty. In the fitness world, the word describes a physique with six-pack abs, round developed shoulders, strong quads and glutes — all in perfect symmetry and proportion. (It’s a concept well-explained on sites like aestheticworld.com.)

“The recent influx of superhero movies has brought about a need to help the actors create a ‘larger than life’ impression on film. Many have succeeded, regardless of age,” said Walter Norton Jr., the owner of Institute of Performance & Fitness, who trained Ben Affleck for ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”


“Remarkably, at our gym, we see many top performers in the 45 to 52 age group,” he added. “They have years of training under their belt, they have improved their habits regarding nutrition and recovery, and they are organized. The last part may be the key, as no one, regardless of age, genetics, etc., is successful without structure. Being organized and having your life together goes a long way into being able to train three to five times per week and still maintain balance with family, work, relationships, etc.”



Ask any fitness enthusiast who is the most aesthetic actor in superhero movies today, and the answer is almost always Hugh Jackman. The 47-year-old will return next year to playing Wolverine onscreen.

“Hugh Jackman, in particular, has been in-shape, on-screen, more than anyone in recent memory. His dedication, preparation, and continual re-imaging of his body — from big to leaner and more vascular — has set the new standard for comic book movies,” said Norton...
