Fitness Days
The former host of Saturday Night Live also acknowledged that while he was working on his character “Scott Lang,” his days were focused on fitness only. Before the film, he used to work out whenever his schedule allowed. But while preparing for “Ant-Man,” he needed to fit in a workout in his routine as many times as he could and staying fit became the main focus. As he was accountable for his own fitness progress, the star became dedicated to working out regularly. He also added that if he were to do the workout every now and then, he might not have liked it. The continuity kept him feeling a bit easier.
Workout Routine
When asked about his exact workout routine for “Ant-Man,” Paul stated that the workout involved doing various kinds of flips and rolls. We should add that the workout involved was quite intense and lot of gymnastics-oriented exercises were there. The father of two also confessed that the workouts were nothing crazy, but manageable. He worked out with a trainer who helped him do all the flipping and tumbling exercises in the right way.

Diet Restrictions
The writer also divulged that he followed a very strict diet for the role. He stayed away from all the carbs and alcoholic drinks for a period of one year. The diet plan he followed included eating a lot of proteins as well as vegetables. He also had to eat at specified times every day to maintain the effects of the diet he was following. The handsome hunk also disclosed that the particular thing about staying away from alcohol was bit of a test as he has a fondness for enjoying a drink every now and then. He even has a pub in his home basement to help him get a drink whenever he wants, but he stayed away from it too.
